Re: Firefox 1.0 released

I will give ANYONE a million dollar if you can explain to me why they continue to release all these beta 1 through 6 or RC1 ect. when it is just too DAMM SLOW TO USE?? It's just USELESS...seriously, what is THE DAMM POINT of releasing something that is not useable?? I don't give a damm if the interface is looking nice!

My device every DAMM date EVER since i got the device to tell me to update FIREFOX!! SCREWED IT!! I never bother!

Re: Firefox 1.0 released

I've always viewed Firefox browser as being high quality and fast on the PC, even the interim beta releases.

Why the hell are they destroying their own reputation by releasing this crap so early?

Because on PC you have alot more devices to test with. While mobile devices are limited (e.g. you can only test it if you own said mobile device).

Re: Firefox 1.0 released

Has anyone installed the Mozilla Runtime program? I'm not clear how it's supposed to be used, but Firefox seems faster now.

If this solves the problem, PM me for the address where to send the million bucks.

Well, how the hell you test it when it's unusable and froze up? And this is not just beta 4 or 5...in EVERY SINGLE update...it STILL SLOW and FROZE IT! I am sure by now they're sick of complaining about that slow issue. Maybe it is not meant for N900 as it is not powerful enough to run such a robust browser. If that is the case, they better scratch it and start over because there ain't nothing wrong with the default browser and it does run pretty fast.

Re: Firefox 1.0 released

You can tell them what's slow exactly. What sites are the loading times particularly bad (not just the entire thing is slow). That way they can look at the source code of the website to see what's throwing a wrench into its rendering).

Re: Firefox 1.0 released

Yes, I believe it is now.

Are you kidding? It is slow at everything, from bringing up the bookmarks list to exiting. When I try to switch tasks, Maemo gives up waiting and offers to kill it. A pity, its very good, aside from being like treacle. Does anyone know why the arrow keys sometimes work for scrolling, and sometimes not?
