Kinda makes you appreciate the work Nokia put into optimizing microB even more. It's such a nice browser.

Yep! Just making sure it's noted!

Slow, as compared to?

Buggy, perhaps, that's why it's still in Beta. Either way, the bugs are definitely going away and the quality is getting better.

Also keep in mind that the mobile fennec team is also working on a version of the same for Android...

That's the nightly build, the version # is bumped up every time a beta is released. Since beta 4 was released a few days back, version # for nightly builds is now beta5

You can read more about issues being fixed in a nightly build here - http://hg.mozilla.org/mobile-browser

-FF takes 10 secs or more to launch
-when you select the adress bar you don't know if you select the right champ because it's not higlighted (sorry for my english)
-on WiFi open pages is slow, on 3G+ it's worst

The android version is far, far better! I'm surprised! It's fast, comforatble. I prefer this version.

Once you get into the browser, everything is very fast... I'm pleased with it. Did about a 10 min test at home using wi-fi. I will have to see how it handles "real world" conditions using 3.5G. Seems like a big improvement on Beta5.

I've used this a few time too. Takes longer to load. The plug-ins I use all seem to work. I noticed that 'double click zooming' seems to be more accurate and efficient. Pages are loading faster, but I'm still seeing the grey honeycomb when fast scrolling up and down through already loaded pages. Didn't notice it before but there was a user agent plug-in which I've added allowing me to choose which versions of websites are loaded.

No crashes. Can't be far off final now.
