To speed up firefox it is better to disable flash (as is by default). It seems that I enabled it in a previous version (with about:config, plugins) and this setting was not resetted by all the updates which followed. Now I have disabled flash again, and firefox is much faster now.

IMHO rendering is not the problem of Firefox. The problem is that it interacts with the OS very slow.
One example: Try to listen to music via bluetooth stereo headset, reading mails and jump often back to Firefox... it freezes very often and the whole system becomes unusable.
I do like the Firefox UI concept and also the plugins but at the moment I can't use this browser as default one. It's getting better from version to version but is far away from it's goal to be a real alternative browser.

One more thing I noticed... if this is supposed to be using the same rendering engine as the desktop Firefox or even Microb, I call BS. Facebook is a good example. The bar at the bottom with your chats is hovering annoyingly in the middle of the page, which indicates sub par html/javascript/css interpretation (or coding on Facebook's part). Still it's not working the same way as in other browsers. Wonder why?
In any case, the updated Firefox seems a big improvement performance-wise. I just configured my browser switchboard to make Firefox the default browser. We'll see how that works. Maybe Firefox Sync is worth a big lower browsing performance

there is a mobile add-on named Clipboard which provides copy function
Tested it yesterday and works for me.

Still no "mouse mode" to enable text copy for later pasting...!

Do you have white arrows left and right or do you have to press the "blue button" to get them? One caveat is that you can't see that you've selected the beginning of a line. Just press the first letter (or immediately left of it) that you want to select - then you just start pressing shift-arrow-right to copy characters.
Jag är dessutom svenskspråkig själv...
