This is a list of devices and the capabilities they support. The best-performing devices for Fennec will have these characteristics:

  • Dual core: Allows the compositor and Gecko to avoid CPU contention. This may be mitigated in the future with thread priorities.
  • The gralloc API: Gralloc is an private API that Fennec will use if available to greatly accelerate texture upload. This will help avoid hiccups and pauses when panning. Some Android devices restrict the use of gralloc to the system itself; on such devices, Fennec cannot use it and panning will be slower. This may be mitigated in the future with asynchronous, throttled texture upload.
  • Android 2.3 Gingerbread: Flash is only supported on Froyo and Gingerbread, since Android 3.0 Honeycomb and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich use a different API.
