== Tips & Tricks ==
=== Using VNC on a N8x0-series device ===
On the device goto [http://mike.saunby.googlepages.com/x11vncfornokia7702 http://mike.saunby.googlepages.com/x11vncfornokia7702] in the browser. Click on the relevant .deb package at the top of the page. It will now install x11vnc on the device.
On the latest diablo images, x11vnc will not run after being installed (it may not even install). To get around that do the following (as root):
ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7''' '''
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7
Here is a [http://beans.seartipy.com/2007/09/21/connecting-to-nokia-n800-from-a-computer-using-vnc/%0A/ guide] on how to use it after it has been installed.
If you are using a Mac you can use [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=64347 Chicken of the VNC].
=== Taras' Setup ===
*Setup usb networking http://maemo.org/development/documentation/how-tos/3-x/howto_usb_networking_bora/
*Setup nfs on the device. http://wiki.maemo.org/Setting_up_NFS
My /etc/fstab on the device contains:
  192.168.2.14:/home/taras/work /home/taras/work  nfs rsize=4096,wsize=4096,noauto,async,udp 0 0
This gives fairly good read performance so I can fennec directly out of the build directory

Getting Started

Goals

The overall goals for Mobile Firefox are:

  • Bringing Firefox to mobile phones is the next step towards fulfilling Mozilla’s mission of providing access to one Web that everyone can access, regardless of device or location
  • Using the latest Web technologies like HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, provide a rich platform for developers to create compelling content and innovative applications
  • Deliver an exceptional mobile experience to users, complete with the performance, personalization and security you expect
  • Do all of this work in the shared Mozilla source repositories so all platforms, desktop and mobile, benefit each other
