fennec_7.0.1_armel.deb is there: http://moff.mozilla.com/latest/maemo.../binary-armel/ .

"Not Found"

So I guess they moved the whole structure.
7.0.1 :

I was looking for some firefox 8.0 / fennec 8.0
equivalent but
http://moff.mozilla.com/ does not show any
and I cannot find it somewhere else. :(

It's funny but
http://www.mozilla.org/de/mobile/
says:
"Holen Sie sich Firefox für Maemo, indem Sie Firefox.com/m mit Ihrem Handy besuchen."
and when I go there with fennec 7.0.1 I get: Android :(

Within fennec-8.0.source.tar.bz2 I still can see:
./toolkit/xre/nsNativeAppSupportQt.cpp :
"#if (MOZ_PLATFORM_MAEMO == 5)
// Osso context must be initialized for maemo5 otherwise we will be killed in ~20 seconds
osso_context_t *m_osso_context;
#endif"

So the source is still there.

Re: FYI - Fennec on Maemo no longer supported

I'm actually using fennec 8.0b1, which is however not available anymore.

Trying to download a newer version is really hit-and-miss, but every now and then I download (one of) the latest versions I find, just for archiving purposes (in case they also disappear at some point).

I don't use fennec that much (I don't browse that much on the N900), but I do like it (and it's not so slow, startup is like 3-4 seconds or so) and am disappointed that they're dropping it.

Re: FYI - Fennec on Maemo no longer supported

Could we make Fennec/Firefox available in the extras(-devel) repository?

the older version should be easy enough to build.

Just found this one:
http://forums.internettablettalk.com....php?p=1053095

and
ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/repos/trunk_en-US/dists/fremantle/extras/binary-armel/
or
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o.../binary-armel/

As it is alpha version be aware that it might do strange things. ;)

I will give it a try.

Edit:
also quite interesting:

found a 8.0 romaxa.bolshe.net/fennec/test/fennec_8.0_armel.deb

and 9.0 romaxa.bolshe.net/fennec/mozilla-beta/fennec_9.0_armel.deb

well, obviously not production grade neither.
will test 'em & post back

EDIT. those are likely Harmattan versions...

Re: FYI - Fennec on Maemo no longer supported

Both 8 and 9 demand a lot of libs, that aren't there after -f install

Re: FYI - Fennec on Maemo no longer supported

I just heard that Flash has finally made its way onto Firefox Mobile in the Android version. I wonder if it's updated in the Maemo version too.

Re: FYI - Fennec on Maemo no longer supported

I more have my hopes up that someone is going to build on the recent work on browsersd, and upgrade the Gecko rendering engine used in MicroB, that would be really amazing.

looks like those are Harnattan packages asking for quite a few dependencies in newer versions then what Fremantle PR1.3 sports...
