I use FF on droid and yet don't have any problems viewing, posting or even moderating the site. I double-click on an area and it zooms in well there unlike what I suspect you are suffering on Jolla's browser which may be similar to the oddities exhibited in qmlmozembed.

Of course everything can be improved upon but its nowhere as bad as you make it out to be just because you have sub-standard tools
most stupid and ignorant answer this week.

and people wonder why TMO is not a place for non geeks....

I've followed the tutorial to get Play Store working on Sailfish, transfered "system" folder", got root privileges (checked afterwards with whoami), ran the rsync command without any issue, rebooted, installed the .apk files, and yet Play Stores crashes the second I launch it. Anything I did wrong? I ran rsync from Fingerterm on the Jolla itself.

Ah. OK. I would surely ask why so, if I wasn't on your ignore list for reasons I don't really get. :<

The holy grail of text editing on the N9 was that key page with cursors and common auxiliary keyboard buttons that you get on a long press of ABC (Edit) in the number key page of the Swype keyboard. I didn't know it even existed for like the first couple of months and then I incidentally changed to it and started puking rainbows. The only thing it misses are shift / ctrl keys to allow you to easily select words / lines.

I have pretty much given up editing text and posting on forums / blogs on my N9 prior to that 'discovery', especially on pages with limited text entry fields where scrolling to select/change a word would become so frustrating that I couldn't even bother. If Sailfish doesn't have such keypage on their keyboard - they need to add it ASAP (or we need Swype for Sailfish). No matter how precise your digitizer is, sometimes you just cannot beat good ol' key select.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before:

The 64GB micro SDXC cards work fine in the Jolla when formatted as standard FAT (i.e. FAT32). The belief that FAT32 is not able to handle such large partitions comes from the fact that the Windows disk format utilities cannot format such large partitions.

However, using the Disk utility in Ubuntu, and formatting as 'FAT' there works fine, and reads correctly on Windows, Jolla, and Ubuntu (and presumably other distros).

(Notice the FAT32 maximum volume size and the note in wikipedia.)

Well, who will use exFAT, if they could format their cards with FAT32...?

Not quite sure what the point of an invisible SD card is.
Here are some help until Jolla can implement a better solution:

Not a single compared to the N9 that is better or equal on Sailfish. And (as mentioned in previous posts) several crucial stuff missing: MMS, connection to company WIFI, etc.
That's funny as I on the other hand have found out that there's awfully lot more stuff in the repos as was for N9 when it came out...

Granted that I needed to install things like python and less when they were preinstalled on N9, but they are just a "zypper in" away, and on the other hand to get things like rsync or luks you had to install additional community repos.
(which were not there in the beginnig, BTW...)

That's actually true, but it is a limitation in the browser (or actually the keyboard part not having cursor arrows)
Same thing happens on other sites where you need to type long POC on a textbox...

However it's good to know that one is also coming (like the landscape mode on browser wich will help a lot... used exclusively landscape on N9)
