Fennec is running on SAMSUNG i780

Posted on Mar 27, 2009

I read some very good news on Blassey's blog.

Doug Turner solved the test blocker of Fennec for Windows Mobile.

I was delighted to hear the news, because I had tried several times to run Fennec on my SAMSUNG i780 (called Mirage in Korea) but had always failed.

Today, I tried to build Fennec for Windows Mobile from the Mozilla trunk. It works well, but it is very slow on the i780.

I found several problems, as follows:

  • Multiple instances
  • Long start-up time
  • IME button not disappearing
  • Broken Hangul (Korean)

I will file these problems on Bugzilla and try to fix them.
