Fennec aka Firefox Mobile updated for Maemo OS

Guys over at Mozilla have updated the Fennec web-browser.

- Go to the nightly repository. The repository is basically a large file server with folders for each combination of source code branch and language localization.
- Choose the branch you want (trunk == mozilla-central / 1.9.2 == mozilla-1.9.2). Fennec 1.0 is being released from the Mozilla 1.9.2 source code branch, so you probably want to use “1.9.2_*” branch.
- Choose the locale you want. You probably want the multi-locale bundle (”*_multi”), but you can choose a different one.
- Click on the “*_nightly.install” file in the appropriate repository. This should automatically start the Application Manager on your Maemo device and Firefox for Maemo will be installed.

It now has faster response time, thanks to the change in its installation location
