As an added plus, i would love to see the google toolbar (or derivation of) carried over so I can access my google bookmarks!

Just installed this on my N810, and i must say I'm impressed with the performance compared to previous versions. Having said that, I have these questions:
1. I gather from other posts that you can tap and hold to save any pictires or anything, but is text selection possible? And is tapping and holding and having an option to save images going to be present soon?
2. Why is it, that when I tap on a text entry field the screen zooms in? Im assuming this may be related to double tapping to zoom. Speaking of which, is there any way to disable double tapping to zoom? I prefer zooming with hardware buttons.
3. When I try to go to The New York Times mobile site, it redirects me to the full site which loads slower than hell, if at all. Im guessing that the site is not seeing it as a mobile browser possibly. How can I get it to display the mobile site?
4. Are there any plans for a task navigator bookmarks plugin for diablo?
5. Is there any way to get the tablet to open links in Firefox by default, such as there is with Tear using the browser-proxy.py script?
Hope someone can answer my questions and keep up the good work to all those involved!

I wrote an little article how to do this (Article is auto-translated tough a google service) and there is also a browser-proxy.py which works fine for me on my n800 and fennec.
HTH, jukey

I clicked on the link to the changed script that uses midori and says to just change all instances of "midori" to tear or fennec. My question is, is firefox still called fennec as far as the use of the script is concerned?

Awesome, there are only a few sites that Tear performs better on than this version of Firefox/Fennec. Two specific things I'm happy about with it are that it will let me sign in to usatoday.com so I can post comments, and that it actually will display the google voice contacts page where no other browser at all on the tablets will do. Is there any way at all to disable the tapping to zoom? This is so annoying when it zooms in and all im doing is touching a text entry field. Oh, I also forgot to mention that it seems to have a problem with some drop down menus, such as the options menu on yahoo mail.

Is there a way to make a link open in a new tab? If so, pretty please tell me. If not, are there any XUL gurus here? Because it seems that it shouldn't be that difficult to pass a web request to the "new tab" function.

Any idea on how to make it so I can view NYTimes mobile using fennec?
