well if you look at firefox beta for android you can already see that it is very different from the current firefox and it says that they are rewriting firefox for for android. the beta says it is supposed to be faster, smarter and supposed to be safer.

Hmmm I've been using dolphin for a while, due to its speed, I use skyfire for functionality. I'll play with the new Firefox and see how it goes.

Let's see if it's going to be better than Opera for Android

On PC and Laptop I prefer Opera. :)

yes, only flash actually working may make me try... Dolphin still badly needs adblock.. (there is a link, but does not work..)

I am still using Android Opera, that CAN use the desktop adblock file..

and hey, even IE8 desktop has an adblock addon now!! :)

A bug infested browser getting a big update on a buggy OS. Maybe the next update should be called Orkin.

Maybe Orkin will extinguish all of the little trolls like you.

Such a second grade insult. Wouldn't expect anything less from Android fans.

Maybe you deserved.

Not mad... more like disappointed. Actually, you seem to be the one coming off as the mad one here.
I pity you and your ilk. Child, are you not receiving enough affection? Does this attention make you feel better?
Should I sing you a lullaby and burp you now?
*huggles*

Is that the best you can do? There's a reason for my comment. Android is buggy all the time and Firefox crashes constantly.

I'm using Dolphin (I'll use Chrome Beta once I get ICS) and this new Firefox better be good, or else I'm not switching from Dolphin and DEFINITELY not switching from Chrome!

not a chance!!!!! Opera is the only one that comes close to the usability and similarity of it's desktop browser... you can even use the 'urlfilter.ini' file in android opera to black ads!! :)
