I also think the bookmark implementation is better (and easier to manage, thanks to Weave). But reading this thread made me hop back onto MicroB and it's just so much smoooother I may have to switch back... That said, MicroB does seem to crash more often - I've rarely had that problem with Firefox.
Though I am not using FF exclusively, for the past weeks it has been my main browser. I completely agree that it is less smooth and less responsive, but functionality wise (weave and other add ons) I am always drawn back to it.

Moreover, I feel that FF can still improve a lot, while MicroB may not gain much in terms of functionality (I base this on my experiences with previous Nokia phones, though I appreciate the very limited portrait support). Lastly, HTML5 is the future of the web, and I believe that the FF browser could well have better support for this.

In summary, I like both browsers a lot, but have lately been drawn more to FF.
