Or maemo4 here dl/install, http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o.../binary-armel/
reboot and reboot, or simply exit browser 2 times, ff installs some plugin before it runs

From firefox page:
===============================================
* Awesome Bar – Go to your favorite sites in just a couple of keystrokes with intelligent and personalized searching
* Weave Sync – Sync your Firefox tabs, history, bookmarks and passwords between your desktop and mobile device for a seamless browsing experience
* Add-ons – Customize your Firefox by adding small pieces of functionality, like games and news readers, that help make the mobile Web browser your own
* Location-Aware Browsing – Get maps and information relevant to your location
* Tabbed browsing – View open tabs as thumbnails to easily identify and select the Web page you’d like to go to next
* Safe Browsing – Get an Instant Web Site ID and easily access and edit security settings
* Available in more than 30 languages and counting
===============================================
All works, including weave sync.

I like the keyboard shortcut. Unfortunely, that means one has to open the keyboard and landscape. The keyboard shortcuts are cool

Smooth and relatively fast.

Some mild bugs, like virtual keyboard does not go away till your open/close the hardware keyboard.

Pros:
lots of plugins
weave sync

cons:?

There seems to be a Beta 2 Version of the Firefox (Probably named Fennec as a codename for now till it's officially released) in their FTP site.

It was the first thing i tried out , it's too damn slow , so i switch to the Firefox 4 beta 1 , it's fine , but does take time to open up in the beggining, Hope they fix the hangs and stuff in their full release
