100% agree - could not care less for Fennec. It's funny, cause on desktop, I'm happy Firefox user - but, mobile version was total fail from beginning to the end.

I keep it on my device (nightly builds), just to give it a chance, and see if they - at some point - can make something that could even *start* to be considered possible replacement for microB.

Fennec failed miserably, so:

Code:

apt-get purge fennec

// Edit

Code:

BloodRose:~# apt-get purge fennec

Removing fennec ...
dpkg: error processing fennec (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 fennec
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Damn You, fennec! They failed even on providing correct pre-removal scripts (possibly, post-removal too). Had to wipe out this crap manually... Someone got list of files to rm -r?
