Is there any chance info on this could be posted o the
Wiki page
? Suggest a new section (or whole new page?). Or post all together here and I'll upload it. That page is a bit out of date.
Wondering about...
- difference between versions 8 and 12.
- compiling source. I saw the post but wasn't sure if it's done on device or on pc, are there any other flags/optimisations or anything else one should be aware of?
- what happened with qt or gtk, for each version?
- ditto gst on/off? Did videos play, for anyone?
It would be really worthwhile to try to get this in the repos, once it's deemed stable enough for general use/testing. Has anyone tried to get in touch with Mozilla's ?council? What are they going to be like about it - is it likely to be another Iceweasel?
Looking further ahead, it would be useful to investigate how to improve microB by substituting the xul engine and other bits that have become out of date. Hopefully parts could be slid out from under the UI (that can't be tinkered with) and switched, thus making it more HTML5/CSS3 compliant.

You could try to compile the desktop firefox for ARM/X11? If it works, it will run like a snail. Although, Fennec does have that desktop feature... mmm... might be more reliable to stick with Iceweasel while it still works.
