its not really possible, it has major force close issues.
Rooting your phone? Backing up and reinstalling apps?

Default Re: Running the NEW Fennc pre alpha

I downloaded the apk and instaled it on 2.1 root and experinced fc after a few moments of running. It sucks...really want to try it out.

with me being on aloysius 2.0v6, and all my apps instaled, I could not even make room to try and install a 10mb apk... it's actually the one and only true time i wanted apps2sd on the eris.

are you all using this build? http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/f...ill-at-pre-al/ it seems like the newest one out there.

Wait, your saying Opera, of all the browsers is good? That's by far the worst mobile browser available!!!! Not saying Fennec will be better.........Maybe I just need to get used to Opera, but that's just my opinion..

Whats wrong with it? It loads incredibly fast, has a nice UI, offers a nice homepage launcher, etc. I think it's a hell of a browser, from what I understand they load most of the page on their end and send the finished product to you. The only complaint i have is lack of multitouch but that is in no way a deal breaker.

If you don't believe the speed difference a/b between the stock browser and opera with androidcentral.com
