Firefox Browser Alpha woot woot
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/alpha
you have to go to that link directly from your phone in order for it to download people i emailed it to myself or if you click on it from your phone it should work the same
i'm guessing this is a reminder to everyone that Fennec is still in alpha?
I just installed it and "imeatejely" removed it......i will try it again when its final.
Not really a reminder its an apk download, and yeah its pretty bad right now and I uninstalled it almost right away but it looks pretty nice.

This reminds me of back when I used Windows Mobile and the Mozilla team tried to put together a Mozilla mobile browser. Went through several alphas/betas and never ran worth a crap.
Let's hope they do a better job with Android, but from the sound of it, they're off to the typical start.
Runs slow

Alpha or not, that is dog slow. I tend to lean toward another failed Moz mobile. A good alpha is reasonably fast but crippled, buggy, and crash prone.
Tried it yesterday and it's pretty awful. Locked up my phone twice. Had to pull my battery out to fix it. Nice features but not worth a damn in it's current state. However it inspired me to try dolphin again which I'm starting to like.
I'm optimistically hoping beta will be better....

Nearly as bad as the pre alpha release. It literally took it 3 times longer to render englishrussia.com over 3g. Everytime I'd fructose double tap to zoom it'd freeze and wouldn't scroll, checkboarding all over the place. Kept It for less than 10 minutes. Lets pray beta is better.

Hang often....
Its very slow compared to just going to the full facebook site in the webbrowser, it also seems to not show all posts on my wall as I see more in the full web page.
Friend Me is a dozen times better than this.

Agreed.
So is FriendCaster Tab.
It sucks. Kepted crashing and had such a poor look to it.
FriendCaster kept giving me issues and errors. The website is horrible on the tab. All good reasons to ditch Facebook for me. I might be interested when they release a proper Tab version of it.
I thought it was designed for Honeycomb!! Aghhhh
I'm sort of surprised they put out such a buggy app
Update;
woodrube has a great thread going with alot of great information on the apps. Check out his thread, link below

Just wanted to let you guys know that in the android market there are a few apps that are bring sold for 10¢ . I just picked up swift x keyboard.
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Just an update guys android market just added beautiful Widgets to the 10¢ deal.

Holy crap BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS?! gotta get it...
Sent from my Vibrant
Those are the two apps I have purchased so far.
I would have too but I've had beautiful Widgets since the mytouch 3g
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Not a big fan of beautiful widgets. But I did grab Reckless Racing HD for a dime. Theres the regular version and the HD and they arent labeled very welll. I had to go in description to see. The way for you to tell is to get the one that DOESN'T have the editor's choice label.
seems the 10 list changes daily, thats pretty awesome, some of these are pretty decent deals.
Anyone have anything good to throw out on airsync? is it only compatible if you use there doubletwist media player?
Just pucked up adw launcher
Sent from my T959 using xda premium
Just to let you know I have a thread going about these and am updating the OP with each day's list of apps. Some good deals but mostly seems like some heavy gaming apps with a few productive/utility types thrown in for good measure. there was one today that was 46mb download. That is massive.

Woodrub thanks for the update

No problem.
Btw N8ter said that the Market is acting wonky today and nothing is downloading or updating. Haven't tried anything today (nothing really looks good to me), but just an fyi
When I press home and go and check my email or anything else, and return to the browser...it returns to the homepage. It does this everytime. It's pretty annoying. I've never run into this on my Inspire 4G. It's like its force closing when I press the home button.
Help?
I noticed this earlier as well on mine.
I think ill just have her use Dolphin. Its what i use anyways.
Same here. I ended up using dolphin.

Anyone found anything on this, maybe a fix?
Its my girlfriend's phone and she says, its fine. I informed her that there are other browsers and changes you can make. Her previous phone...iPhone 4.
She isn't used to Android, and I believe doesn't care enough. Thank god I made the switch before I was brainwashed too.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
I exchanged my note under the warranty for that exact same reason. The new note did the same thing. It will even do it with dolphin browser eventually sometimes, though not quite as often. Ever since I rooted it and started using cm9 and AOKP with ics+ browser, it hasn't happened again.
I wish she would let me root it. Lol
I have run several ICS roms on my Inspire and I told her she would love CM9. I guess ill just have to wait for the official ICS update for the Note.

I noticed this as well. Good thing is, it's not an issue with ICS.
I honestly can't say this has happened to me using dolphin (which I installed immediately after purchasing the note)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I think it has to do with using more than one browser. If you use dolphin, I think it takes over the allotted usable memory for browsers and wipes the other browser's pages out.
I keep checking every other day or so for.the official update, no luck yet.

It is a very annoying issue. I was holding out on rooting, but I gave in and rooted. Now I use ics+ browser. This doesn't happen anymore. I wonder what the problem is with it when it is stock?
well Dolphin HD and Chrome beta dont do that and are way better than the stock browser
they are free so should check them out
Running ShoStock 2.2, was happening on 2.1 as well.
The facebook app sucks, so I decided to just use the mobile site. However, I get the old site, not the one that looks like the app does. Tried a different browser, same issue. Different user agent, same thing.
Anyone else having this issue?

Same thing.
I don't think it's you. I am on unnamed and this morning I got the same thing. I usually don't use the mobile site, but someone sent me a link in an email.
I agree with the above statements to use Chrome, I just can't yet since I have't made the jump to ICS. comfortable now on GB.
It has nothing to do with ICS its Facebook it self.I got the same thing on my iPhone,iPod HTC(which is on GB). I believe they are trying to get more people to download the application.

That would suck, as the facebook app is awful. If I don't shut it down after using it, it runs the processor non stop, makes the phone hot, and burns the battery down in no time.
My friend with an iphone 4s just tested it and when to the new website.
Yeah it went back to a bare bones text version about 2 weeks ago!?!?!
It used to look like the app on my Galaxy Nexus. It looks crap now.
However, if its FB attempt to force me onto the new app... I won't be going there.
Not impressed with the apps permissions requirements (read and write to SMS folder and also read phonecall history and contact detail)
Will put up with the bare mobile site for the time being.

Haven't tried it on the 4s only on the 3Gs. This isn't the first time they have done it. If they aren't trying to force user to switch to the app they are trying to approve the site.It should be back to normal soon.
Edit: is the login screen the same as it normally? If so it could just be they are trying to improve the new version. My thoughts is because soon everyone is going to be switched to timeline.

touch.facebook.com works.
However on chrome, when scrolling it always flips automattically to top again. Annoying.
touch.facebook.com throws an issue on my phone. It seems this all started happening after last build of 4.0.4 android. ah well...
Its pretty sweet if you ask me. Might even become my daily browser. There are various bugs considering its a beta
Amaze 4G ENERGY ICS
I started using it and ditched it cuz it was so buggy and lacked customization. I couldn't even change the settings I wanted to. Switched back to Dolphin HD.
I been u sing it as my default browser on my galaxy note and transformer tablet for about a month now.
Was using opera mobile as default for months and it was awesome. But Chrome has quickly become my favorite android browser now...its very smooth and works really well. Not to mention very fast as well. It works good on a big enough screen but on smaller screen like my nexus s I still prefer opera for some reason.
Anyway. Yeah considering its still classed as beta it is an excellent browser.
