Its just that microb feels so light when using it, that must sound weird, but it just feels light and fast, im going to try FF though for abit see if i can get used to it

I've just downloaded it. It seems to be much faster than previous version. Now, I'm going to start playing with it.

I've been running the nightly builds of fennec as my main browser for quite some time, then just a few moments ago App Manager told me Firefox 1.1 is available for update! I did the update, rebooted and all is well. Bring on Firefox 2.0!

With the stock kernel it was too slow so overclocked to 900 MHz and it works better, but FF keep crashing. I think there's a problem with audio and flash and maybe a few other things flash related. Oh well, back to the stock browser.

when i was watching a youtube video of don rickles on the johhny carson show i was hitting the volume button on n900 and it wasnt working looks like it wanted zoom anyone know why?
Also in the app manager where yo can uninstall apps on the n900 theres a app called mozilla runtime, is this used by microb or just firefox and can i uninstall it since I already unistalled firefox?

I'm going to give it a little more time, but right now I am a little concerned. My battery went from full to empty during the night and all I had open were two Firefox tabs. Battery also went dry during some light evening surfing yesterday, so this is twice Firefox has emptied my battery even though it came out just half a day ago!
I love the interface though, but people calling it slower than Microb are right. It's sluggish as hell when you're loading a page.

One more thing I noticed... if this is supposed to be using the same rendering engine as the desktop Firefox or even Microb, I call BS. Facebook is a good example. The bar at the bottom with your chats is hovering annoyingly in the middle of the page, which indicates sub par html/javascript/css interpretation (or coding on Facebook's part). Still it's not working the same way as in other browsers. Wonder why?

I am using both Firefox and MicroB, microb being my favorite. but firefox is well worth a try and flash works great too.

My opinion is that FF is really a great software. N900 is also an internet tablet, so browser is an important part. I think that now we can use FF as our primary browser and with Sync we have huge advantages.
Anyway I agree that sometimes it is still slow and MicroB behaves better
