So I had been doing some searching and can't seem to find my answer, so here is my question. I have downloaded both mobilefox 2.0.0.7 and Fennec. I can unzip the programs but when I try to load them on either of my phones, Vogue and Raphael, I get the same error message " 'startmobilefirefox' is not a valid Pocket PC application." I have unzipped it on the phones and on my computer (then transferred it over) and I still get the same message. Am I doing something wrong?

Sounds like you might have the wrong files. The WinMo files should be packaged as a cab file and once transferred to the phone will trigger the installer on the phone.

When I checked the Mozilla ftp site, they had builds for a number of different platforms. Look for the .cab ones.

I was able to find a Fennec Cab file when searching on google. Fennec is only good for the HTC phones that have a Keypad. It doesnt work on my Vogue but it does work on my Raphael. Only issue is that now that my wife and I have tried it out, its not working properly. It takes about 1 min for it to pull up and run but, when I try to load a website it doesnt load any pages. All of this is only due to myspace wont load on any other browser on her phone. Time to see if I can find another browser that will allow her to get on myspace.
