Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

Big big big improvement over the last beta, much faster and has more of an expected, normal feel to it, close to MicroB. I do, however, see plenty of not-so-sexy grey honeycomb too when scrolling around. But the speed issue is better so I'm happy :)

Oh, it did crash on weather.com though - froze up my N900 for about 3 minutes :-/ I'm sure it's not common

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

I still feel it slow as hell.

Screen unresponsive from time to time, laggy when changing tabs. The grey honeycombs is not really important compared with the slowness.

P.D. Running with Kernel Power @850Mhz

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

I have really had the same experience (with both stock and custom kernel) with all the versions of Fennec, never really noticed any difference.

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

Beta 5 still feels slow, one or two tabs is ok but with more pages it makes the whole device sluggy.

But... I ran the SunSpider JavaScript Benchmark (v0.9) just for the fun of it and the score was 6322.2 ms! That just throws N900 to the 3rd place of single core devices in Anands list of Sunspider benchmarks.

If we only could get the same JavaScript engine to MicroB!

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

It seems that if I disable Swappoluble tunings the UI is a bit more responsive, but from time to time it freezes for a while. It's extremely CPU consuming and cannot do any other tasks while using it.

Downloading pages is extremely slow compared to MicroB or with Safari in iPhone 3GS. I don't see the point on this javascript tests.

Tabbed browsing is almost unusable due to the lack of responsiveness.

Nice UI and Firefox Sync could be great but I cannot use it. I'm afraid it won't be usable until we have dual core 1.5 GHz with 1Gb in our pockets.

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

I have installed firefox beta 5 but after I launch it opens and it freeze. I cannot do any action but going to multitasking and close it from there.
Can anyone knows how can I make it work?

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

and nightly build beta 6?

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

Problem I have with the latest beta is that when its sitting in the background - it is still consuming 75% of my cpu.

Thats just not usable.

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

my system runs 5% all the time when fennec in background.

Re: Fennec 4 beta 3
 

I've found that that happens to me, too. I have to reboot (or should I say turn my N900 off and then back on) before Firefox Mobile works.
