Today’s a great day for releases. If the excitement of Google Instant for mobile wasn’t enough, Android and Nokia users are now able to browse the web with Firefox 4 (Fennec). You’ll be pleased to hear that loads of your favorites are packed into this mobile device – Sync, Add-ons and the Awesome Bar all feature.

There’s only one problem – even though this beta is available for Android and Nokia N900 (and there’s a long list of supported devices) my HTC Legend, for example, simply wasn’t able to cope. Apparently this is due to the fact that the Legend and other phones use ARMv6 processors, rather than the more standard ARMv7, but after taking a deep breath and disabling the security settings that prevent you from installing any non-Market sourced apps, I was pretty disappointed!
If your device doesn’t seem to be supported, pay attention to this information. The Mozilla blog says that your phone might be able to run one of the experimental ARMv6 nightly builds. I’m normally a careful girl, but after throwing caution to the wind and unchecking that security box, I may as well go the whole hog and get experimental – I’ll report back if I get it working!
