Nokia N900 will soon get the most popular web browser Firefox and turns out as the first Maemo-powered device. This first mobile phone version is codenamed as Fennec. The main advantage of this version is that it gains the ability to sync with desktop version.

The new software has many of the features of the desktop version, such as tabbed browsing, and an address bar that doubles as a search box. The first mobile browser to have “add-ons”, small pieces of software that add functionality to the browser such as news readers or online games.

It is designed in a way that if any web pages open in a user’s desktop browser will automatically open in the mobile version. It keeps your daily work handy and it encrypts all the information then it sends through the cloud between the desktop and mobile.

The browser will be available to download from the Mozilla website and then offered in Nokia’s Ovi store, so that N900 owners can download the software. The organization is also developing versions for Microsoft’s Windows mobile and Google’s Android operating system.
