I'VE just found probibly the next best port frome KDE, Debain and, the previous firefox port atempt.....

Minfeld Firefox!!!, fennic for short

The reason i think this is so exsiding is that it provides almost full support for Firefox plugins and themes
and it loads web pages allmost twice as fast as the defult browser!

Who this is for:
Everyone!!
powerusers, end-users, develipers , exc..

Known bugs:

A. On-screen keyboard shows up but nothing happens when you try to punch in a letter.

B. It can crash, but this is rare if not very rare
unlike the previous firefox port atempt.

Those are the only bugs i know so far.

Bug-bypasses:

A. Use xkbd as a alternative to the defult keyboard (or if you have a N810, use the hardware keyboard) (not tested)

B. unknown.

All if not most of the features of firefox are inclded by defult encluding the help documentation!!

Please take note, I did not create this, i'm just providing this for masses to enjoy.

heres the link: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/numpty_phy..._more_fun.html


I would be very greatful if someone could help find a better way for on-screen text input and help point out bugs.

Here's a screenshot and the single-click install:

oh well, i guess the term "you snozz you lose" could apply here
but this could be used as a short-cut thread for the install and as a bug discussion thread

taguapire, when you installed it did you open the other app- granparadiso web browser? it is nessary to open that on order to run Firefox. just to let you know, it may take 10 or so seconds for the application to launch the first time.

that other app is still possibly under development so untill there's a update, granparadiso web browser opens FireFox. To tell you the truth, i don't even know whi he decided to put two icons in there in the first place

The Fennec icon starts the mobile interface. Minefield is just Firefox.
