I've uninstalled beta2 and installed beta3. Now it wont start from menu or desktop shortcut. It starts from the terminal thou. I've checked fennec.desktop, and seems to be fine, in fact unchanged from previous version. Now how do you fix this? It starts from xterm: fennec, but wont start with the same command from the menu...

WOW! Smooth like hot butter! It is finally usable! (still slow startup times but I'm guessing thats ram usage)

EDIT:
Anybody have suggestions for good addons?

Anyone figured out how to use the readability or easy reading addons? talk.maemo.org becomes wider than the screen, and these add-ons promised to fix it but they don't seem to do anything..

How do u install the beta?
If I go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/ and click on the install beta link app manager always tries to install the Ovi store 1.1 version.

So far I love the Sync feature and many addons. I think the browser is fast enough. Actually it seems it starts working well just after it loads the full page.
Startup time is still a problem. MicroB is still faster and better but we can expect Firefox to improve before final realease.

Firefox Mobile for N900 is fine upto a point , it is still in it's beta stage and developers are working on it hard ...

They have improved quite much since it's previous beta's , the browser was more jamming kind of in it's old beta ... since there it's become much smoother ... yes ofcourse still can't be as smooth as MicroB or Opera .

I use it to test out new and Featured Add-ons , it is improving much quicker

The first is the latest-beta.

The second is the latest-alpha, updated daily.

I use the latest-alpha (it's also called nightly, trunk, and minefield).

Here is a general link for the latest nightly:

MicroB starts faster because we have it running all the time as a daemon (type "top" in xterm and search for "browserd"). I think it could be possible to do the same with Firefox, but I don't know how much memory it will use, maybe it's not worth trying...
