Open the Android Virtual Device Manager (in the SDK Manager under <tt>tools > Manage AVDs</tt>), create a new entry and make sure you use "Android 4.0 (API Level 14)" as target. You can attach a virtual SD card as well and change display settings if you like. You can also set the device's RAM, which would help improve performance (recommended amount: 1024MB). In the hardware list further down you can add or remove hardware support, e.g. you can simulate not having a hardware keyboard by adding "Keyboard support" to the list and changing that entry to "No" then.

In the hardware list further down you can add or remove hardware support, e.g. you can simulate not having a hardware keyboard by adding "Keyboard support" to the list and changing that entry to "No" then. In order to run Fennec, you must select "GPU emulation" from the hardware options and set the value to "yes".
