I have the version installed that comes with CSSU thumb:
17.01a1-maemo-thumb0
How does your build differ from this one?
Will you upload yours to the CSSU.thumb repo?

freemangordon and qwazix are working on porting the Harmattan Fennec with Qt-UI to fremantle. Have you checked out their work?
That UI is supposed to be super fast!

If you'd like to make greater changes, surely you could get help from Mozilla people to find your way around the code?

First : With some plugins loaded( I tried adblock plus & Phony) Fennec takes 20 seconds to start.

I don't know about you but I like that Fennec- it's reliable and fast & the most important thing is flash support that is missing in opera
I can't appreciate how a startup time of 20 secs is fast for you.
On my N900, it feels a good deal slower than MicroB (removed Adblock and AdFlashblock!), be it UI, startup or page load time. Also, it crashes a lot.
What I like about Fennec is it looks good, it has tabs, add-ons are being made for it by mozilla community, it syncs with desktop Firefox etc., the whole shabang that comes with Firefox.
Except all that is ruined by its persistant sssllllllloooooowwwwness...
