Firefox 6 for maemo is out
 
Firefox 6 for maemo is out, 15mb download and 45mb to install, very slow in my opinion

Yes, very slow. And the 4.0 version was not so slow.

thumbs up for them for still supprting maemo anyways. I have it so that I can log in to sites that I don't have the password with me (thanks to sync) --btw i'm wondering if I could use fennec's profile folder in microb-- but 5 is indeed slower than drowning. (4 was about the same here, maybe worst)
I had also tried on a milestone xt720 and it couldn't even load a webpage. I wonder are they targeting only galaxy s2's?

just broke it by trying to enable some known hardware acceleration options,
so I'm UN-installing it now

just installed 6.0 and I find it a bit faster than 5. Still slow, but not frusrating

The slowness of this makes me want to fix my Debian VM and install the Fremantle SDK to replace microb-engine with the 6.0 Gecko.

Try the latest qt build, 9.0-a1. Much faster than ver 6 or 7 and scrolling performance has vastly improved. More info here - http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=27

Some good soul has built it for N8x0 as well.

Indeed 9a1 is really fast. Maybe finally we can replace microb. Only if a nice soul ported cursor mode over.
