Fennec.

I do no see any improvement. It still takes like 25 seconds to launch.

I've always thought that firefox on n900 is just a test, to prove that "full" browser can run in a mobile device, and mozilla people is waiting for mobile devices to have more cpu/mem/power to make it usable.

See here for instructions to enable Flash in Fennec:

http://www.nokiaphoneblog.com/2010/0...bile-1-0-n900/

(It's disabled by default because it causes bad performance problems on some sites.)

By the way, you can also get Firefox 6.0 "Aurora" builds from here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...ra-maemo5-gtk/

and Firefox 7.0 "Nightly" builds from here:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...al-maemo5-gtk/

For more information about the Beta/Aurora/Nightly channels, see http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/04...apid-releases/

Any links for 6.0 and 7.0 for PC? Or was your comment a joke somehow?

Its still big dissapoinment - after such long time it can offer nothing better that microB, thats based on much older version of firefox. And I'm not even talking about flash - can wait for that, (if even care for) but such simple things as copying&pasting text need "tricks" that not even fennec developers know, sometimes.

Even simple forum browsing and answering is pain in fennec. It's real shame, that updating microB is not possible. Give me hildonized tabs, and fennec can dissapear for me. Give aded-ons compatibility, and I'm in heaven.
