Mozilla Fennec demo at the N900 meetup

very slow. and it slowed down my phone until i uninstalled it.

So is this version run faster than the one that comes with N900 already? Is there another way to customize your buttons?? I don't want to slide my finger every time in order to access the "back and forward" button. I want it to be ON THE TOP viewable so that you can touch it to go back ANYTIME like on the desktop. I think this is a design flaw. Also the tab bars should be on top as well.

You can use the keyboard to go back and forward, which means you don't have buttons cluttering up the browser window. Best of both worlds.Perfect huh?

@cirkusarena If this is possible...that'll solved the problem.

Google N900 keyboard shortcuts.

Backspace is (Can you guess?)... Back! Space scrolls down one page, Shift Space up a page.

Still think it's quicker to use the N900's swipe from right to left to bring up all browsing history.

Whats the difference between this and the built in n900 browser which is also made by mozilla?

[saqibq]

The in built browser is based on Mozzila tech but made by Nokia. Its called MicroB and is a stripped down version of Fennec (similar functionality without the add-on's and stuff).

Since Mobile Firefox (Fennec) will not be "ready" for a while, nokia decided to ship it with their own version but they say you will be able to replace it with Firefox when thats ready.

Hope that helps :).
