Has anyone tried 4.1? I noticed that in the name that was the version, but how does 4.1 beta precede a released Firefox 4.0?

how do you disable the autorotate, where if you tilt your phone it irritating flips to portrait mode? I just want to keep it landscape, always.

I thought the "accellerometer.enable" switch in about:config would do it, but no. :(

Firefox 4.1 is not "out" - the current nightly builds are version 4.1a1pre, which means they come before the first alpha release of version 4.1.

Firefox 4.0 Release Candidate 1 has been built and will be published soon, and will hopefully be released as Firefox 4.0 soon. So the latest nightly builds are based on work that will eventually go into the next version. (We haven't actually decided whether the next mobile release will be called 4.1 or 5.0 or whatever.)

Nightly builds are development snapshots, not official releases. They always have version numbers that end in "pre." See my earlier comment about versions.

@geohsia
There is an addon that enables hover mode but it only supports android build atm. Author says maemo support is coming.

@qt vs. gtk question
qt is faster but mailto link handler and volume rocker zoom are broken atm unfortunately.
