@traysh Do you think you would be able to look at getting Firefox to run faster? Its super slow and FasterN9 has not done it any good.

Even overclocking doesn't help Firefox, FasterN9 will NOT be able to improve FireFox as its slowness is caused by the coding.

You need to get Mozilla to work on the speed of the browser, there's nothing FasterN9 can do.

Not to mention the Firefox for MeeGo isn't even an official client. It was built by someone else. Mozilla doesn't love us enough :(

It is official. Mozilla did build it for us officially and then put it into the Nokia Store, as well as Nokia developing a flash player plugin for it officially.

afaik its not a mozilla per se build. it was built by romaxa who pushed it thro' nokia store. if you look at the publisher of the app the name is "Firefox" instead of Mozilla or Mozilla Corp.

i did read somewhere that romaxa did it with Mozilla's knowledge but they didn't provide support hence the engine running it is quite old leaving Firefox to always have speed issues.

Flash was supposed to work on the stock browser but due to Nokia's abandonment and only due to the effort of some truly committed Nokia devs did it turn up as a plug-in for Firefox. If not for their efforts we wouldn't even have it as a plug-in.

Ahh, I didn't know the nokia store firefox was posted up by romaxa.

Its a shame we can't get Flash to work on the stock browser, it would be so much more usable :(

Then again Fennec with an updated/current engine would actually be better tbh. Hopefully Romaxa can do this :)

Yeah I'm with U there, could've been nice if the Native Browser had it, it's better and faster browser than Firefox and Opera given to us, as a matter of fact if I experience site problems with the native browser, only then I use Opera, not even Firefox....

The engine is not old - it uses the latest codebase. However the UI is not updated much, in comparison with what Mozilla does to the Android branch.

Hmmm, I wonder if it would be possible to rewrite their UI using QML, unless romaxa already has done this.

Just assuming that if it was in QML it would be a hell of a lot smoother then it is.

Re: [Testing needed] FasterN9
 
This was proposed for Mozilla, since they already decided to use native UI on Android instead of the XUL UI. But apparently they weren't too interested yet. And previous projects of embedding Gecko as a library were dropped some time ago. Romaxa proposed another approach, embedding Gecko in a separate process, and using IPC to communicate with the UI layer. He published some work on this here:

http://romaxa.info/fennec/IPCEmbedding/

This can work well with Qt UI. If someone wants to help with that - please go ahead.
