Version 12 is visibly faster than version 10 and page scrolling doesn't result in checkboarding. Start up and shutdown take a few seconds instead of a minute.

If anyone is interested I can make the stable versions as well. It takes about 30 minutes to compile on my quad core system.

Update: Version 8.0.1 uses a faster JIT engine than builds 9.0 and higher. Until Mozilla updates it (which will probably be never), 8.0.1 is the last build worth using on our N900s.

Are the download links still correct?

I've tried download v8.0.1 from the link and no go.....

Thanks.
