CNET looks at Mozilla's release of Firefox 1.0 for Maemo (aka "Fennec"). "Firefox for the Maemo 5 platform has a few interesting conceits that set it apart from other mobile browsers, like Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. Mozilla is banking on the uniqueness of its claim to fame—third-party, customizable browser extensions—to help its browser win mobile market share. Add-ons, after all, helped make Firefox the top browser alternative to Internet Explorer in the desktop space."
