Mobile/Projects

This page is a clearinghouse of projects related to the Firefox Mobile browser (Fennec). Some of these projects may be picked for a particular release and be copied to a planning page.

Each active project should have a details page created so we can track progress. Here is a blank-ish template. Some projects might start with conceptual design, others might start with code prototypes.
