A blog from Mozilla's mobile team technical lead, Stuart Parmenter said, "We're starting to see some very exciting Fennec Add-ons being built by the community, including things like GeoGuide which uses the new Location Aware APIs to show you things like maps and weather near where you currently are, and other things like GraffiTwit, a Twitter client that lets you not only write tweets but also post images you've drawn."

"We've started work on making forms on web pages easier to use, providing a nicer combo box UI than before." added the blog.
