Yes, and while they share a lot of common code there are also obvious differences (in particular, the UI) which result in MicroB giving the superior browsing experience.

Obviously Firefox has a newer build of gecko than MicroB, which may explain the increased instability of Firefox. I had Firefox 1.0rc1 close with no warning about 5 times in 15 minutes, whereas MicroB has never done that to me in 4 weeks. In fact, 1.0b6pre was more stable than 1.0rc1.

Nokia have done a much better job with MicroB than Mozilla have done with Firefox. Period.
