MicroB is vastly superior to Firefox Mobile RC1. IMO the best feature of Firefox is the addon install interface. I tried the Shareaholic addon but I was unable to use it. The button in the main window and the option button in the settings pane don't do anything. I'm a bit disappointed...

As a owner of prehistoric N810 I have disagree many of the posters here. RC1 is great! Better in many things than MicroB that N8x0s have in my opinion. Definitely not "firefox rc1 sucks" or "premature ejaculation".

Previous beta was already quite stable in my N810. Cannot say much about the new RC1 after few minutes of browsing. But I can definitely notice the improvements over old version (maybe something to do with JavaScript?). Good work Mozilla team!

Not a bad place to be though... Been there, done that, got the t-shirt (and a "bat city license plate")...

Damn.. Didn't think it could be THIS slow ) Just tried it, played around with it for 5 minutes, time in which I tried installing adblock and subscribing to a list (which I have no idea if it worked), waited for the interface to load and respond and loaded half of a pretty complex page. Uninstalled it, it's not worth keeping in my opinion, like browsing in molasses .

it doesn't really compare to microb. yet. I've chosen mozilla for my computer for its speed and usability; both are now with rc1 far beneath my expectation

Is it optified (beta 5) ? Coz i have just like 23Mb free on rootfs...

By the way...as much as i like Firefox on PC...i have to say that this mobile version so far sucks... and it's beta 5 lol...they have a long way to go to make it even comparable to MicroB...

At the current speed, I highly doubt the Mozilla browser can really much up with the speed of MicroB browser. Premature ejaculation.

It also appears that the Mozilla folks don't know how to run a repository properly, otherwise we'd be getting update notifications.

I have no interest in trying out a beta browser because MicroB does everything i want it to, but for a completely free piece of software some of you are being pretty rude, tasteless, and vulgar...

On a completely unrelated note, there was a free trial of Wifi on my flight last week, and i was IMing my friends with my brand new phone from 30k feet. My status was set to "sitting in a chair in the sky". It was so amazing.

For free software community feedback is a good thing. The entire point of releasing betas is to find out how they fare in real use. If you're not even going to test the thing you're contributing nothing at all.
