Fennec will be the best browser for Maemo if they can solve the resource hogs. Which i think are the main reason why people have different experience how fast it is. Functional wise it is awesome.
I miss a cursor mode though.. or some good way of selecting text and similar. I like the MicroB zooming better.. don't like when it autozoom on click (guess it is an option i can change somewhere).

so does installing this override the 'stable' firefox, or do they install independently? I want to try this out but not if it means losing the current version

whats the build guys? It shows me as Firefox 3.6.5pre/Fennec 1.1 from about browser. Is this the latest one announced on 10/4? I installed it from www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/beta
Then when I did "apt-get -s upgrade" it shows the 4beta3 as being available for upgrade so I did an upgrade and at last I have this beta installed.

Answer #2 of the faq:
Last edited by daperl; 2010-11-06 at 18:02.
Is it called Fennec or Firefox?
Fennec is the codename of Mozilla’s mobile project, however, the official product name is Firefox. For pre-beta releases of Firefox, we call it by the project's name, Fennec.

I like UI of MicroB better, and the swirl-zoom is great of course. However, I like the tabs a lot in Fennec. And of course the more modern rendering/javascript engines.
I think Fennec uses way too much RAM and N900 simply doesn't have enough available memory to handle it much of the time. Just like everything else on N900, once you're hitting swap everything slows down like hell...
I wonder how it runs in Android? I thought android devices don't have swap. Perhaps the OS just has a smaller memory footprint.
