Aaah it seems that I cant compile it. Tried a billion times v17 for that 1 week+ that past but I always run into errors. Mozilla-beta(v18 and up) cant be compiled at all beacause Maemo SDK has one version of gcc and mozilla requires newer than that...

Thank you.
The site had some issues, but I think that it's fine now.
Can you please try again?

Hey all Today I build Fennec 18 for our beloved N900 and now Im writing this through it. I made a quick benchmark comparison between it and MicroB and the results are ~7700 ms (fennec 18) and ~21000(microB) - SunSpider Benchmark which shows that Fennec 18 is ~3x faster than MicroB. But here comes the problem - screen updating & scrolling in v18 are bugged which is very irritating. For example you want to scroll down - you drag your finger across the screen and expect the page to move with it, but it moves it when you take your finger away from the touchscreen. The build I made is very basic ( 5-6 lines mozconfig file) but I will try to make others(1 build takes ~4 hours...) with some optimizations and see what will come out

Edit: I cannot distribute it because its with official branding

Edit2: Does anybody know where I can get gstreamer 0.10.33+ for the Maemo SDK so I can build Fennec with gstreamer support?

@tanago, gstreamer-0.10.33.tar

I've currently got an old (very old) version of Fennec v7.1 (just never bothered updating).
I've now got Vladislav's catalogue set up (as per the guide linked to in wiki), so I'm being told by fapman there's a new version available (v17.01).
I'm given the option to upgrade but fapman then tells me it's failed because there's a problem with my connection (highly unlikely) or there's a problem with my catalogues. If it's finding the new version then I can't se how the fault lies there either.
Any ideas?
Thankees.

Seems gst-0.10.33 needs glib >=2.22. More pressure on: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1237356

These are armel packages, for the maemo SDK we need x86 and yes compiling gstreamer needs newer than glib2.0...

Edit: Now Im going off to work and I left the PC to compile Fennec with some optimizations but still without gstreamer support, hopefully there will be no errors so I can upload it and you will be able to test it

Here is Fennec 18! Still scrolling is bugged and it is not suitable for everyday use (which is my purpose-to replace MicroB!) fennec_18.0_armel.deb - 14.7 MB

hello,
Sorry I'm a newbie but is this an unofficial update for firefox or is it a completely different application ?
if it is firefox, will it replace the version I currently have on my phone ?
btw nice post thank again !

Yes, this is unofficial update of Firefox for Maemo (Fennec) It will replace Fennec/Firefox in your phone! This build is for testing because it has a bug in the scrolling so you will be much likely to want to revert to your current version of fennec.
