You're right, its better than previous versions, but it's not MicroB, however we have another not-that-bad alternative now.

I have had MicroB choke on some web sites. For example, it doesn't like Verizon's new web mail. (Well, nothing really does)

Blah. I've had it with Mozilla and Firefox in general. The latest stable one, that they provided to us, was pos. Laggy, unresponsive, resource-hogging pos, if we're specific. If I recall right it didn't even have portrait-mode (though that might've been fixed later on) and no keyboard.
And yes, I've tested this new one, it is like that as well.
Thankfully there's still Opera, which is ironically better in beta than what Fx is in stable.

I've followed your link guys
and as said it's just a beta release for public. They didn't even change the name from fennec to firefox.
The correct one is named Firefox 4.

The link at http://firefox.com/m attempts to install Firefox 1.1. What's up with that?

nothing is comparable to microb browser, IMO. I tried all of them out there and just end up un-installing them, now i just stop trying..
MicroB browser is the best, it handles all websites you throw at it including Banking websites.

And whats that stupid zooming thing that happens with FF when you go to enter text in a box? I can't bear that, it normally takes about 2 seconds to zoom as well.
Firefox Sync was the only selling point for me. That was great....until it stopped working altogether.

Of course Maemo 4 compatibility is gone.
