What a dumb-ass subject, sorry; because it is pretty redundant. Fennec a reworking of Firefox for mobile devices. I had heard about it on Linux Outlaws and wanted to see how well it might run on the eeePC, or even the desktop. Come on, we all like more real estate and speed!
Anyway, it's nice, but is more functional on a touch screen device. Scrolling is not the traditional style; it's more like OpenStreetMap where you drag the page up or down, on the screen. My mouse scroll wheel zoomed in and out of the document. If you drag to the right you get the preferences and such screen; to the left you get tabs.
check it out though. I ran it under hardy on my eeePC.
