Slow? I think not. I've played around with Firefox for a few hours now and haven't noticed slow page loads. Quick with good scrolling. Enabled flash and it works pretty well so far. (Hint: if you enable flash, install AdBlock.) Miss the circle zoom a little, but double-tap or Ctrl + Up/Down works well. Has only crashed once and hasn't caused any reboots or other nasty effects. Tabbed browsing is cool and better fonts than MicroB.
The more I use it the more I like it. A good start on a very usable UI. In fact, I'd make it my default browser if I could organize bookmarks into folders. So not quite there yet but good for a 1.0 version. Right behind MicroB as the best mobile browsers I've used yet.

ey, I'm with ya, the first thing I did when I got my new n900 was install firefox because I absolutely love it on the desktop. It does nothing the built-in browser doesn't, and its slower and doesn't do flash.
so I uninstalled it. oh well, it its still a great desktop app in on x86 desktops on all OSes.

I also think most fast and quit nice to handle.
BUT: the zoom function!!! :-(
On german keyboard there is no Ctrl Up and down. So since the volume +/- Button are not used for uooming I will use microB for browsing.
On small displays a good, fast and simple zoom is one of the most important things for a browser!

Lets of course not forget that microb (the n900 built in browser) is based on the firefox rendering engine! The n900's brilliant browsing capabilities out of the box are in part due to the rendering speed of gecko, which microb and firefox have in common.

Is there "any" way to get the xmradio "online" account to play via Fennec or microB? I believe it is an *.asx stream, but using a "flash based player".
Along those lines, any way to get access to one's slingbox via sling.com (i.e. set browser to not present itself as "mobile")?
