Test dummies and those who want to be on the bleeding edge of relevancy, take notice. Mozilla has decided tonight is the night to take the wraps off of Fennec for Android — “officially” — by releasing a version for mere mortals to play with.

From here on out, the scanable barcode will be displayed 20 minutes after the hour, every hour during the hours below: Day Planner (Monday – Friday, 11am-2 pm) PM Edition (Mon-Fri, 4-7 pm) and WeatherCenter Late (Mon-Fri, 10pm -1am) Again, during...
