My one gripe at present is it seems that fennec is a battery killer when left open in the background. Microb can be left open for days and does not draw extra juice.
Anyone else notice this, and have a method of preventing it. I'm sure there is a setting in the config file that is responsible.

Not helpful, but at least the issue is noticed.

is it possible to disable the auto zoom function for text input? it gets annoying at times. I also think it is annoying because pressing the down arrow in a text box (like the one I'm using to type this message) goes to the next field. can that be changed?
Open about:config (in Fennec, of course)
type
formhelp
and you will see three options
Set them to whatever you find appropriate, maybe restart Fennec, and test whether it has any effect.

My too are not conviced by Fennec after a day of use. I noticed that the CPU is more weigh down, and two times Fennec freeze with a message that a javascript should be terminated, but i was forced to terminate the whole browser.
Another thing that i disliked is the virtual keyboard support, occur that when you have a form already filled and want to modifity, it's impossible since in the virtual keyboard the previous information does not appear, so you can only add more string to the existing one.
I don't uninstall it, but for now MicroB seems to wins.

I don't know, but I really like it. Using it more and more now, love the interface.
Anyone found out how to disable rotation yet? Nothing that I have read or tried has worked.
Thanks.

Maybe, the developer of the add-on has forgotten to update the add-ons, and they are marked as compatible only with 1.0.
> When is fennec 2.0 due?
Here is 2.0 alpha:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o.../binary-armel/
What add-ons are "incompatible"? In most cases, it's enough to change maximum Fennec version in add-on file to make it compatible. There isn't much difference between Fennec 1.0 and 1.1 and even 2.0, for add-ons.
Just name the add-ons, and I give you .xpi - s for Fennec 2.0.
How? Rename .xpi to .jar or .zip, take install.rdf from archive, find where it says maximum possible version of Fennec, write 2.*, save changes, put install.rdf back into archive, rename archive back to .xpi - finished!
