Actually, Fennec isn't really all that sluggish, at least when you look at the older nightlys... http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...key-maemo5-qt/ Has a good example of a browser that's actually on par if not faster than microB.

Could you guys take a look at it? It not too sure what the mozilla team did wrong, but they did mess up somewhere along the line... If you compare this one with the newer builds, it's smoking fast... Not sure where to get the source, though.

I did once try to get volunteers to test other fennec builds... Not much help, there. There's this guy over at the mozilla team, mbrubeck, who seemed happy, willing and motivated to collaborate with others to solve fennec's issues, should anyone want to help in that.

And what about backporting the web browser from Harmattan? Is it completely open source? Seems very nice.

Bumping this topic, this subject is still worth going over.

Is the Build you posted in this link stable to use? In other words, will it mess my phone up? I really wanna try it out.

it's fairly stable, but for me doesn't start correctly from menu, but runs completely fine from xterm.(just type fennec)

when started ui shows up after ~5 seconds, becomes responsive after 8-10 seconds.
kinetic scrolling works fine, doesn't lag for normal use, but if you scroll too much, page will take ~100-300 ms to redraw.

much more usable than recent builds, but still microB is faster !

well I've always thought that the qt builds were much smoother than the gtk builds but looks like they have stopped development for qt

Not true, they're still developing qt builds, just changed the download directory, you can get them from here:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mobile/tin...ral-maemo5-qt/

latest qt nightly, 9.0-a1 is a lot faster than older versions, page load/scrolling performance is almost on par with microb/opera now

try using http:// instead of ftp://, opera sometimes has problems with ftp links
