It doesn't support the on-screen keyboard, so you're out of luck for entering anything on your N800.

It will screw with other things. I can't recall the details, but I had to re-flash my N800 after installing Fennec, because not only was it useless without a hardware keyboard, it changed the behavior of MicroB and made it useless as well. There is no GUI access whatsoever to settings in Fennec, and the defaults are not optimal. You *might* be able to access about:config, but I can't verify. Do yourself a favor and wait until the full Firefox Mobile is available.
