To be honest, I could not care less for Fennec. I was trying every Nightly build for a long time, and it *always* amazed me, how - after all this time - they can't produce something at least semi-usable. Ironically, because I love Firefox/Iceweasel for Desktop.

In my opinion, microB beats up Fennec/Opera totally, and with just small addition of tabs and language correction addons, it would be ideal. Still, for "serious" tasks, I use Iceweasel via Easy Debian. And it amuse me much, that full-blown Iceweasel with quite a number of addons is more usable than *any* incarnation of Fennec. Sure, sometimes I got slowdowns in Iceweasel, but with correct settings and swap on microSD, it's totally usable.

When I'm on travel, but in range of high-speed wifi, I use even more uncommon setting - +ssh'ing to my desktop PC and using Firefox/Iceweasel via remote desktop. Again, with correct settings and fast wifi connection, it's working real-time and nobody notice I'm remote'ing. To be honest, I'm writing this post using such method.

In case of so many options for comfortable browsing on N900, we could rather feel sorry for Fennec - it didn't stand up to the task and failed miserably. "Their" loss.
