Igor Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Fennec (Firefox Mobile) is now in Beta and quite a bit better then its alpha counterpart posted earlier. http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2010/10/07/firefox-4-beta-for-android-and-maemo/ http://lifehacker.com/5658502/firefox-mobile-beta-now-available-for-android-and-maemo 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRed05 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 New version: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/beta The app just updated, bringing along some major tweaks, not the least of which is a 40 percent increase in page load speeds. The SunSpider Javascript benchmark pegs the update at 25 percent zippier than the stock Android browser. Also as part of the update, increased localization is available with support for ten different languages and multitouch zoom has been tweaked and improved. Other updates reduce memory requirements, allow for the re-opening of recently closed tabs, added geolocation support, and “improved text spacing.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3.1cutlass Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I had originally installed it and it was horribly slow so I deleted it. I might give it another shot now if it's faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staywide8 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Still horrible. Not worth installing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FST94TSI Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) Trying right now, let ya know in a few.................O.K so it sucked really really bad for me. I tried it on my droid x with the latest o.s. for droid and it slowed my phone down really bad as well as seeming to have quite a few glitches. My phones native browser definately sucks too but this one was even worse somehow. Oh well I guess there'll be one eventually worth having.

Mowgli1647545497 Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 looks like firefox is sucking ass as bad on mobile as it does on desktop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primera Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I tried it out but I went back to the native browser. I'll check it out again after it gets past the beta phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
