This thread has emerged into a boring flamewar with each further post not carrying substantial new information.
Flash works, no it does not, ok it does not work well, who needs fennec, I use microB, Firefox is better, no it is not...
We have heard this dozens of times and I would appreciate that we come back to the topic which is about Firefox mobile being released and not about a "which sucks more" discussion.
People use microB if suits them, others use Firefox if that suits them better. Period.
Can we please stop argueing about browsers and stick with the Firefox topic? Hints, tips and news? Thanks.

3. I don't find flash performance in general with either Firefox or MicroB much better than barely acceptable, but I don't see very much difference either.
4. It's Firefox now with the 1.0 release. Fennec was the devel code name.
Crash, you have Firefox playing video other than Youtube client based vids? They do not even come up as an option for me, and thankfully, the ads do not either
As far as the plugi-ins, Youtube does not work if "yes", but do if selected as "no".

BTW crash, I thanked you, but your thank count didn't go up. I wonder why that is...

Okay, what happened to Firefox Mobile and Facebook? I can't get the full Facebook site to work all of a sudden -- it automatically goes back to the Mobile Facebook site. I select for it to go to the full website and after I login it goes right back to the Mobile Facebook site. This was just working the other day, so this is a very recent thing. Is this something that I can change in Firefox or is this something that I will just have to deal with now that Facebook knows about Firefox Mobile?
Looks like it may be back to Tear for me. I was trying to go completely over to Firefox, but....
Incidentally, I'm using Firefox Mobile on a N810.

Thanks, Fbook.
It would seem that facebook id's mozilla mobile as (surprise) a mobile browser, and redirects to the m.facebook site. Although I haven't looked into it, I'm sure there is a way to spoof (useragent switching) the site into allowing you to go to the version you prefer.
