Account Manager is an experimental Firefox extension that lets you login and logout of web sites by clicking the Account Manager button to ‘Connect’ and ‘Disconnect’ from your online account. It makes the whole damn process of getting in-and-out of web sites easy. The project went public a month ago but then testing wasn’t possible . Now you can try it on web services like Facebook, Google, Mozilla Add-ons, Yahoo and a few others, provided Firefox is enabled to store your passwords. Account Manager for Firefox is not customizable — for now.
Mozilla intends to eventually integrate Account Manager into Firefox as an in-built feature, now you can have it as a free to download Firefox add-on.

It also presents three home screens full of apps and widgets. Nokia said the OS also features improved 2D and 3D graphics for a faster and more responsive UI, greater memory management and a visual task manager.” source Reghardware More

Fennec pre-alpha has no automated updates – to upgrade to future version you’ll have to uninstall it and re-install the newer version. This build requires Android 2.0 or above, and likely an OpenGL ES 2.0 capable device.
