Downloaded it, but it’s still too slow when compared to the built in browser.

extremely slow, no zoom. this is enough to make it useless, at lease until it doesn’t improve or update. i keep it installed because i love the firefox icon on my desktop

I want to love it as im a long time fan of what firefox has grown to be but it just doesnt seem to be polished like the desktop versions.
Not supporting flash is a bit of a pain, however this is easily solved for youtube atleast with one of mozilla’s plugins, hopefully this will be addressed in later versions.

The navigational tools i think are brillant, ever so simple and do everything that you need without all the back and forth like the default browser.

Not having so much control over page scailing can be annoying and theres also the restriction of the long press options

I installed the latest browser for firefox, it is very slowwww compared to the nokia default browser and doesn’t support flash. It’s really hard to use. They have to level with the standards of the current browser.
