What´s the difference + any chance this version will come in thumb too?

Probably it was a beta.
The official Firefox 17.0 was released on November 20, 2012.

Please use the patches made by me and sjnewbury from the above repo. They fix a lot of stuff, like rotation and zoom support.

Some of them could be upstreamed though.

EDIT:
look at those too:

I'll apply the patches and upload a new build next week. Thanks for the advice :)

thanks for fennec.
Still slow but much better then before.
By any chance will you release a thumb version too?

In the thumb repo Fennec is alpha version, this is unofficial final release ;)

Version 17 worked on SCCU-Thumb with KP51r1 until I changed the language from English (US) to Auto-detect. Then it started crashing immediately after start. Fixed by deleting the fennec folder in ~/.mozilla.

Seems slow, but I have not done a real comparison with MicroB yet. MicroB isn't exactly Lighning McQueen either.

Yes, it's slow. I primarily use MicroB. I only use Fennec with OpenSC and my cryptographic smart card and reader for online banking.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time to do a thumb build. Sorry for that.

I have not used the thumb repo, but I guess that the fennec package in it has a newer version, than the one I built.

It's just the other way.
But well it's not a problem for me anyway

could someone try compiling (preferably thumb) firefox 18 beta. it contains new js engine, ionmonkey, which may help our performance troubles.
