I haven’t been paying close attention to Mozilla’s mobile efforts lately, so I’ve missed out on some developments since I last looked into them. Work on Fennec, the mobile version of Firefox, has continued in alpha as expected. Environment synchronization is underway with Weave as well: aside from syncing bookmarks, the Weave service will eventually “pick up where you left off” when using multiple devices. For example, if you have four tabs open on your notebook and move to a mobile device with Fennec, Weave can optionally open those same four tabs in your browsing session.
The Mozilla Labs team just published some simple, step-by-step instructions to get the Fennec and Weave alphas installed on a Nokia 810 Internet Tablet if you want to get a look. I’ve watched Weave continue to grow up since last summer, but it’s taking an awful long time to get beyond the prototype and alpha stages. Without full-time stability, I can only kick the tires, which is a shame because I think the Mozilla team is on the right path. We just need to get to the destination.
For now, I’m continuing to use Foxmarks for multiple-browser bookmark and password synchronization. The service works on all of my notebooks and netbooks, which of course leaves out my Apple iPhone. iTunes works for bookmark synchronization on my handset, while the previously mentioned 1Password offers an iPhone app for my passwords.
