What I'm looking for is the ability to select links with the arrow keys and activate the selected link with the "enter" key, as in the OS2008 version of MicroB.
I'd like this as well, this is one of the things I miss from my Treo.

firefox mobile allows you to open tabs in background and the latest 1.1beta is quite fast compared to the original release

I am using fennec 1.1 beta2 in my n810 and all that is stopping me from making fennec my every day browser is flash support, after checking the flash add-ons for firefox i found one that maybe can help with the fennec flash problem, the name of the add-on is MediaPlayer Connectivity this will open flash video in a different application outside from the browser like in mytube.
What do you all think about this?

Thank you

Ed

The only MicroB hack I'd love to see is the one that would fix the lag between entering an URL in address bar and the moment when page actually starts loading. See here for more detailed description of this issue (copy below).

I frequently experience very weird and frustrating problem with built-in web
browser in my N900, which is basically quite long lag between launching a
given URL and getting that URL to actually start loading. Say I type a "
www.google.com" URL in address bar, hit enter and expect the page to load
instantly (assumed stable and fast internet connection in the background,
obviously), however what *usually* happens is that progress bar under the
address bar slides right<->left back and forth for quite a while (sometimes
couple of seconds, sometimes tens of seconds!) before it eventually "clicks"
and starts loading the page - which is quite instant itself. It's
*just*about that lag before the page loading occurs.

Firefox/Fennec, apart from being a massive resource hog to the point where
whole device becomes unusable, is very good with instant page loading, so I
think background internet connectivity issues are beyond the suspicion.

Does anyone experience that problem? Is that something that could be
tweaked/managed or it's just a bug to be filed in bugzilla?

It doesn't block it entirely, it just keeps Flash objects from running until you click on them, like the Flashblock plugin for Firefox. And it loads everything locally unlike adflashblock-css.

It frees up A LOT of system resources and makes the web browsing experience less annoying on certain sites.

Presumably you could set snav.enabled to "true" in about:config. I have no idea if it would actually work, tho - I can't stand it personally, and kept trying to find ways to disable it and keep it disabled on my n810.
