While I've referred to Fennec as crap as recent as last week, the new beta is a slight improvement. In fact my newest web design project actually works flawlessly in Fennec as opposed to the other browsers available for N8X0 (microb, tear, opera, etc.) However, this is an anomaly and most likely attributed to the newer engine build it is based on. (does the build of opera even support html5 ogg streaming?) I will say at this point in time, Fennec neither deserves nor should be branded as Firefox, as the launcher suggests.
Speaking of which, is anyone using Iceweasel in debian chroot? q=
