I last objected when it rebooted my tablet but I'm really loving the double click to resize a site. In fact I think for everything other than FB I'm going to use it. That double click is really working wonders.

It seems OK to me as far as speed, but I could not get Flash content to work, even after changing the plugin setting to false.

I pretty much use Firefox as my standard browser, it starts relatively quick(3-7 seconds), it has some add-ons already(and more to come, I hope) and it does support flash, after enabling. And with Adblockplus installed it barely slows down, sure sometimes it won't react immediately but I still like it. Plus tabs spells awesomeness.

@Rushmore: See here for instructions to enable flash, works perfect for me: http://www.nokiaphoneblog.com/?p=2945

No it enables the built-in flash plugin, the exact same one as in the built-in browser. The Mozilla team disabled it for performance reasons(read: flash ads is everywhere). I just tried it on youtube, I have not tried anything else.

According to this whitepaper MicroB's rendering engine can be changed, looking at "browser --help" in the terminal shows this too, with the --engine=myengine parameter.

Has anyone tried running the fennec engine in microB? Maybe the slowness is a UI issue and not a Gecko issue

Edit: after change the parameters for ff, its working great.

HA! didn't even notice flash wasn't running. Portends well for the iPad. *snicker*

I just tried playing tetris, it works perfect. Try accessing this file: http://bskin.org/tetris.swf
It works perfectly on my N900. It's also kinda addicting, now that I tried playing it :D

If that doesen't work, I really don't know whats the problem.
