We've seen Firefox Mobile development shots before but here are snaps of the version which is soon to hit public beta testing...

Codenamed 'Fennec', Firefox Mobile (we believe the 'Mobile' will now be a suffix, not prefix for what it's worth) Alpha edition has been snagged in action by theunwired.net and it seems to have had quite the makeover since our earlier look.

Seen running on a Windows Mobile based handset, the mozilla.org grab (top, left) shows the browser can still appear full screen (WM taskbar excluded) with the URL bar and controls only appearing onscreen when necessary.
