I like to use Fennec everyday on my N900 and version 10 was not good enough for me. Luckily Mozilla has not ripped out all of the Maemo makefile scripts so it is easy enough to compile the latest code. I have put together a deb (using all the official Mozilla source) for you guys.

Fennec 14.0 (Firefox 14.0.2)
Requires Glib 2.26

Fennec 13.0
http://www.4shared.com/file/E4nq9mB5...130_armel.html

Fennec 8.0.1
http://www.4shared.com/file/U3w_bovq..._80_armel.html

Update: Version 8.0.1 uses a faster JIT engine than builds 9.0 and higher. Until Mozilla updates it (which will probably be never), 8.0.1 is the last build worth using on our N900s.

Sunspider
8.0.1 run: http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider...,120,125,126]}
12.0a1 run: http://www.webkit.org/perf/sunspider...,169,203,153]}
Fennec 13.0 is just as slow as 12.0. 14.0 seems about 20% slower than 13.0.
