Mozilla has released RC1 of Firefox Mobile which runs on the N900's Maemo operating system.
Built on the same browser engine as Firefox 3.6 for the desktop, the new mobile Firefox comes includes features like the Awesome Bar, Add-ons, Weave Sync and Location-Aware Browsing.

If you've already got beta 5 installed on your N900 or N810, you will be receiving a software update shortly. Otherwise, if you're viewing this on your device, you can install it from here.
As always, we've provided unbranded Fennec desktop builds on Windows, Mac, and Linux. You can use these if you don't have a Maemo device or to aid in addon-on development.
We've improved text rendering, added new hooks for add-on developers, and continued to polish the application. We've addressed many N900 specific issues, including installing to /opt and the fixing the symbol picker.
