Installed Fennec 4b2 with dpkg yesterday and unfortunately I can't share your enthusiasm. Application went back to its habits from pre-1.1 era, when pretty much every tap on screen was followed by huge lag, lasting anything between 1 second and ~1 minute (sic!). The only more-or-less usable version of Firefox Mobile is 1.1, where lags were somehow reduced to acceptable levels, but only when I've had less than 2-3 tabs opened at a time.

Installing Firefox 4 beta 2 in N900 - howto?
I'm experiencing problems installing Firefox 4 beta 2 on my device. I currently don't have Firefox/fennec installed at all. So here's what I do to get latest beta installed: 1) Go to http://firefox.com/m/beta in N900's browser - click Download for Maemo button. 2) App Manager starts and prompts to add new Mozilla multi Beta Catalogue. I confirm so App Manager takes its usual time to do stuff before I get prompt to install Firefox 1.1 (!!!) which comes from Ovi repository, rather than Firefox 4.0b2 from Mozilla repo. 3) I cancel that installation, go to catalogue manager, disable Ovi repository and completely delete Mozilla beta repo as well. App Manager again takes time to refresh repos in the background. 4) I go back to firefox.com/m/beta and restart whole procedure. 5) When App Manager kicks in, I get prompt to add Mozilla beta catalogue, I confirm that but then I get... Unable to donwload fennec. Application package not found. :-o What gives?! Did anyone experience similar issues and got workaround? -- Dawid 'evad' Lorenz * http://dawid.lorenz.co null:// I haven't lost my mind - it's backed up on disk somewhere ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Re: Installing Firefox 4 beta 2 in N900 - howto?
I also had plenty of issues installing Fennec Beta on Maemo. What I do is resort to terminal. Yesteday after App Manager added the Beta catalog and said Fennec was already installed (it was, but B1) I went to Terminal and typed: apt-get install fennec and it quits saying Silently failing to process handler (or something of that sort). Then I typed: apt-get upgrade and that happily upgraded it. However, last time I had Fennec installed from the Ovi Repo I had to play a lot with apt-get in order to install the Beta.
