1) There is still work being done on it so it is going to be updated just like the other apps. Don't you think it might get a little faster in the future?
2) There is a lot of websites that still use flash

I couldn't care less about it right now. I've browsed the Web without Flash content for months and cannot see the real use of it. Everything, well, at least almost everything, works without Flash anyway nowadays.

This is the biggest lie I've ever heard and I'm getting sick of hearing it from the 5% here.

CNN VIDEOS, Yahoo news article videos, Hulu.com, radio station websites with streams, bbcnews videos, youtube videos that are in flash not html5, videos on tech blogs like engadget or slashgear, thedailyshow.com, colbertnation.com, bleachget.com THERE ARE SO MANY WEBSITES THAT USE FLASH NOT HAVING IT IS A SERIOUS HANDICAP.

Ok I'll just show you how incorrect I think this statement is I'll just do any random search and one of those top results will involve a flash video.

Uhmm ok lets see "Octopus eyes"

FLASH

I can do this all day. Any random search will result in websites using flash and I'm getting sick of running into a wall all the time feeling like I'm hitting my head against the wall.
I have no idea what world you guys are living in that think we don't need flash you must be just pretending to yourself because I know you are using search too and running into flash videos that won't play all the time.

Just why are you posting in this thread?

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

Heh.

I know the browser will get updates. I hope it will get as smooth as the native one because then I will use it.

I've been a FF user for so many years I cannot even remember and want also use Fennec with all the good features it has. But at the moment it's not possible for me.

I'm following the work in progress and hope the best for the future. Of course it will have updates, I know that. Everyone knows that. But for now, no, it cannot be my daily browser.

Flash? Don't you guys use computers anymore? It seems that you're doing a lot more than I with your handheld devices. Then Flash will be good for you even though I won't still need it.

Come on, see my point and get over your anger. It's absolutely rubbish to give Fennec a 5-star review right now. But I really do hope that I will be able to do it in the future.

:)

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

Having Flash and Fennec come to the N9 is great and unexpected. I do hope some further updates and improvements come for both (in the case of Flash, I don't feel that's as likely).

Mozilla worries me a bit. I understand they have limited resources, but I've been watching their Fennec project from when before it was even called that, or had major support (just Doug Turner, I believe). Focussing purely on Android is perhaps a reasonable use of their limited resources, but I do think they should still try and improve Fennec as it can run on many open Linux-based devices.

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

Hmm I was really hoping flash would show up this week, but it seems we have to wait longer. :(

Re: Is this true that the n9 will have flash with fennec ?

I opened Fx/Fennec and went to

I then got this:

I clicked on 'Select version to download' and then got this:
