Feedback Sought for Proposed Mobile Firefox UIs

jangel writes to give us a look at the prototype UIs for Mobile Firefox, which is currently under development. Mozilla project lead Doug Turner has asked for opinions on the design. Quoting: "Comments on the Wiki provide an idea of the choices the developers still have to make. For example, should the chevron at the right of the toolbar open a history page listing the most recently viewed pages, or -- as on desktop Firefox -- merely a list of most frequently typed URLs? And should "full screen" mode hide everything except the page being browsed, or retain the lowermost toolbar? Turner writes that while the user interfaces shown are merely starting points, 'going from the pretty pictures that Photoshop can produce to something that is functional is easy with the Mozilla platform. Building functional prototypes ... using only Javascript, XML, CSS, and images is really awesome.'"

memory?

[CheShACat]

Firefox mobile? They must be really confident of having sorted out the memory usage to be trying to convince me its a good idea to run it on my Blackberry... Don't get me wrong, I'm usually the first to pipe up in defence of Firefox when people whine about memory issues, but that's talking about a few MiB out of a few Gigz. This is a whole different ballpark..
