Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

So why is flash disabled by default?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

come on its new lol.. sheesh people are so critical haha.. thats why you test it and if you dont like it remove it haha

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

flash takes time to load certain pages so it slows it down.. no flash faster download of the page.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I re-installed this yesterday as everyone was getting so excited and indeed it was a bit faster. But today they pushed out another Mozilla Runtime update that completely breaks Firefox's functionality. What gives? IMO, this should be in Extras-Devel or Extras-Testing, especially if an update breaks it.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I'm on nightlies, and with the latest 20100128 runtime it wouldn't start for me, so I uninstalled Firefox (which had the orange Firefox logo) and went to reinstall Firefox but could only find Fennec 20100128 (with the blue Fennec logo) so I installed that and now it's working again but I can't say I'm that impressed by the speed.

Firefox/Fennec RC1 is in a Mozilla hosted repository, and since it's not actually released yet (it's marked as "Beta" on www.mozilla.com/mobile/) if you didn't want to help with the testing you shouldn't have installed it! :)

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I believe the one I downloaded this morning was RC3.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

This is the repository from where Fennec/XulRunner is pulled when you follow the "Beta" link on http://www.mozilla.com/mobile/ - no RC3, just a mixture of RC1 and non-RC1 debs.

And this is the nightly repository - again no RC3 (or even RC1).

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I stand corrected about its repository location, BUT, how can I test it if it won't even run?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Have you reinstalled the main application (Firefox or Fennec, whatever it's called on your device)? My guess is that you have a version of Firefox/Fennec on your device that isn't compatible with the latest runtime.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Maybe it was the runtime version rc3? Ino it i saw it somewhere.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

FastestScrollInTheWest add-on is pretty slick. Gets you to top or bottom of page pretty fast.

Really need something like it for microB

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I've installed it today both from the repository and from http://www.firefox.com/m, having removed the app and Mozilla Runtime prior to installation in both cases. Still no functionality. It was working yesterday with Mozilla Runtime (something)RC1, but today, when I updated Mozilla Runtime to 1.9.2.2pre-20100128011217 it ceased working. This happened about two weeks ago as well after four days of MR updates, each one providing no funtionality. It was after this I removed the app for 10 days or so until yesterday's "excitement".

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

RC3 was released today. There are three articles on top in maemo.org/news. The reason flash is disabled is because it "degrades performance," according to Mozilla. Don't know about the repos, but it does seem I downloaded RC3.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

rc3 is still too slow for me (19 seconds to open the program completely on my N900), and without flash is useless on many sites.

It seems the only compelling reason to use it instead of microb is if you are a Weave user (and don't need flash).

That being said the devs are doing a great job it has definitely improved a lot in recent weeks. I look forward to seeing where the authors take it in the future.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

What they're calling RC3 then is whatever is in the standard release repository (http://moff.mozilla.com/dists/chinoo.../binary-armel/) - no RC3 there, but there is an RC1 for xulrunner and a Fennec 1.0.0 deb, all from 26 Jan.

The nightly build is up to date (28 Jan) and uses a later version of xulrunner, and the Fennec deb is different too.

good info , thanks

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

It would be nice if you could use the arrow keys to scroll down like MicroB. Next version perhaps.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

You actually can, however ive noticed that its hit and miss when it works, also it is more akin to scrolling on a computer, it scrolls a couple lines at a time. I think they should make it more like MicroB as well.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Still not able to watch some flash video like WWE :)

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Lucky for me, today my desktop's flash plugin brought my web browsers to a screeching halt and for the past 4 hours, I've been using my n810, which handles the new version of fennec beautifully. Still hangs occasionally, but no full-on crashes. Not as quick as tear, but certainly acceptable, especially with the ui which is such a joy to use. Also - plugins!

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Same here...

Also wished we could directly put a bookmark to the desktop.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Ya....I got this on,, but I cant zoom in likne on build in browswe, but I like those side menus :D :D

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

it's slow and no portrait mode...however it let's me use "Logmein" unlike
the native browser..still needs a few improvement.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

yeah. after i tried firefox for the n900 for 3 minutes i just gave up. firefox has good ideas in it but its just not working very well. too laggy. 2 click zoom in. if it speeds up like the default browser then maybe i would give it another try. but the default browser has almost all the good stuff in it.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I found few shortcuts in firefox.

Ctrl + Up arrow to zoom in
Ctrl + Down arrow to zoom out
Shift + Up arrow to page up
Shift + Down arrow to page down

I am still investigating other shortcuts :)

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

torshind: I am using Sharaholic with Fennec RC3 on my n810 and love it!

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Mozilla Runtime update 1.9.2.2pre-20100129011131, pushed out today, did not restore functionality to Firefox on my N900.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Firefox died after the update on my N810 as well. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling twice now. Installing from the Mozilla page did not help either.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

It sounds like you've got the nightly repository installed as well as the RC one. Right now the nightly has a newer xulrunner (Mozilla Runtime) package but an older Fennec package (as far as debian versioning goes) -- Should be fixed in the next day or two. Please check and make sure you're only using one repository in the application manager.

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

After mashing the buttons alot I see it does actually work! Thanks!
Not the greatest implementation though, rather choppy

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

There was a Fennec-1.0~20100129013335 update today too (from the nightly repository).

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I have tried uninstalling Firefox through the app manager. I don't see the Mozilla Runtime in the installed apps list. Is there a command for a package removal I can run to get me back to where I can reinstall ?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

Now 1.0 is out officially:

http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2010/01...now-available/

And YouTube add-on to enable flash on that site only:

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

I installed a nightly build with xulrunner armel. Now the new ff won't install, what should I do?

Re: Firefox Browser is out!!!!
 

This makes me think, I'll have to try to port the flashblock package to maemo, any volunteers for testing ?
