Just go to firefox.com/m and click on download. It will automatically install the program on your N900

Yep it's better now but still far to slow for me.
My RAM usage goes way up when it's running.

Getting better all the same.

it is still too slow...i love firefox but i will stay with microb for now. i still found the ff browser to be too sensitive when scrolling thru the pages...it opens up 2-3 tabs mistakenly which slows down the browser even more. i really want to like it but it needs to take some weight off.

Why do you want to download the nightly builds? The RC2 is optified now?

MaemoNews on Twitter said that RC2 has been released now and that it's soo much better now. I'm gonna try and download it again today.

Firefox mobile RC2 is noticeably better, but the MicroB browser is still the leader in page load and navigation on the n900. I hope that the overall speed improves as it's a promising start. If MicroB is any indication of how fast the browsing experience can be, then maybe it's just a matter of optimizing the code? I wonder if a webkit based browser would be faster?

Anyway, I still wouldn't use mobile firefox for regular browsing as it's still quite frustratingly slow (especially with flash sites -- but that's also a problem with MicroB, as well).

Looking forward to the next release candidate...

At this rate of progression I'm looking forward to version 2.0 :)

The program still feels incredibly sluggish. After installing it, I had to try three times before the program actually started... for some reason it first started to load and then just kept quitting. The "custom-skinned" user interface feels very slow compared to normal maemo applications. And worst of all, it is still really slow on sites with flash (youtube being pretty much completely unusable...).

But I guess the worst thing is, I still haven't had a chance to actually cleanly quit the program. Usually I have to force it to quit after it stops responding on flash-heavy websites.

Usability-wise this would be a great program, but if the final release is anything like the release candidates (pretty high probability, since these are already release candidates), there's just no way this can replace the microB browser.

And where is zoom out? I keep tapping the screen like an idiot when trying to return to 100% view :)

Got a question for everyone. For anyone using geolocation in Fennec, how many of you are on TMobile and can get it working using TMobile internet?

Question: Where do you download MicroB browser?? I don't see it anywhere in repo

That's the one that's preinstalled.
