Definetely MicroB...I can't stand having to wait for the entire page to load before I can scroll properly, and even then I find I keep accidentely hitting links when I do scroll. The interface is very slow too and there is no feedback to let the user know they have pressed a button. Then there is the amount of time it takes just to open Firefox compared to MicroB. Maybe by Firefox 2.0 they will have fixed it enough to use on a daily basis.

for me MicroB . .it's faster than firefox but I'd like something that firefox offer in MicroB,as when we have to go back page with the simple button that bring you straight in the last page,i think it s so much faster!!!

could we have this option in MicroB??

micro b. i have installed and uninstallled firefox a number of times to see if it got better.

i am not much a fan of firfox except for the glubble on a pc for my kids...but thinking it would integrate better with the weave kept trying it.

just keep having problems wigth it and it is slow to load and slow to render compared to micro b.

i use microb for everything except my online banking with natwest - where although it can be made to work - its to easy to end up getting locked out for incorrect password entry.

they prompt for three charactors from yr password and as you enter each some javacript makes the input focus hop to the next box - allowing only one char to go in each box. however in microB this doesn't function correctly.

Isn't Firefox using a newer Javascript engine (Tracemonkey) than MicroB? It definitely is slower on rendering, but Firefox could actually beat MicroB in Sunspider test.

Anyway, like almost everyone else, MicroB is the one to use for me too.

MicroB for me ever since it woke up and started working in landscape and portrait a few days ago (how weird was that?)

MicroB is easier to zoom with the screw/unscrew stroke, easier to copy & paste and feels faster and more intuitive.

I still look forward to developments on Firefox and MicroB via PR1.2 when that comes through, but that's a whole other thread in itself...

MicroB here. Tried Firefox on the N9 and it was glitchy and slow for me. Firefox all day long on the computer but on the 9 its MicroB for me.

It's microb for me, been trying to use firefox and fennec both many times but both feels bit slow and unresponsive compared to microb.
when firefox has matured i bet that it will be my default browser for sure, been using firefox on my laptops always and i really love that browser.
