i like micro b
i think its a brilliant browser and we are pretty lucky to have it on our handsets
firefox is my chosen browser on pc but for the n900 microb is really good
hopefully firefox will improove though it still feels like its an early release iam sure it will become better in time

Thanks Crashdamage, that does work well, wish they'd get a pointer working, but its good to know I can grab text now, used it already to get tethering setup to my Storm from the N900.

firefox's scrolling is not as kinetic as its on microb.Also jerkyness when loading page is for me unbearable. I'm a bit ******* when it comes to responsivness or speed, imho in good way 
Nightlies are little faster but still behind microb expect in javas speed. Probably 1.2 will change that when microb engine is updated.

my experience with microb has been great, just wish that firefox team had taken that code and improved it.

I don't like Firefox on the Desktop (Opera).

For my general browsing, I use MicroB.
I installed AdBlock plus for it, so the flash ads don't bother me anymore.
Despite everyone from the N800 / N810 era seems not to like it, I think it is a fairly usable browser.
When I want something like searching a page from my desktop, or checking for something in my desktop tabs, I use Firefox.
It is fast, but you have to wait a little longer, and it renders the entire page. Then, it is more responsive than MicroB.
The nightly Fennec builds are even better.
Unfortunately, Tear and Midori are out of the question currently.

More bells and whistles is not always a Good Thing, especially for mobile devices.
