We are all used to everyone dropping support for armv6, every day something happens...
However, Mozzila is trying to revive armv6, by putting official support soon, boot2gecko (apparently auto-correct on firefox on PC won't say it is a grammar mistake) optimized for armv6.
If you can't download from market:
For Firefox nightly, you can get it here
http://nightly.mozilla.org/
And here is aurora, pre-beta:
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/aurora/
Honestly, one year ago (and even 2 months ago), I was a mozzila-hater... very slow browser on PC, no support (or the slowest browser back then) on my phone, so I guess I had all reasons...
But now, I see improvements each day! I just wanted a 64 bit native browser on my PC, and I installed waterfox, and I quickly felt in love, then installed official firefox
Enjoy Firefox and say GOODBYE to Chrome!! Seriously, I did.

I tried it and it doesn't seem any faster than stock browser on the Dynamite33 AOKP ROM? What advantages does it have?

---

Seems to be the news of the day.
Thanks for sharing.

Felt fairly smooth to me ( I only checked Facebook, it had no lags)

It isn't faster, but it has all features of desktop firefox sync data with it and you have adblock extension and all that stuff (I don't recommend it tho, it is a CPU hog, will slow down like hell on our O1)

Yes, try desktop websites with high demandings, like xda forum, they are a bit slower (gecko renders a bit odd, tp be honest) but after that you have lag = 0

Not compatible with my ZTE Blade in Play Store

Downloand the nightlies from the site

It seems like sites don't pick up that i'm viewing from a mobile device. Stock browser goes to mobile site but firefox always goes to the desktop version... Also, it lags every time I start a new tab because it loads all my history and everything.

for me it work's not bad at all, i like it.

It's slower than the default browser, I just spent 5 minutes trying to login into the forum using the app, the keyboard lags and it just takes a lot to render the page.

I hope the Mozilla team will go through with this..
The stock browser is OK, nothing more.
If you happen to use the GB stock browser, then anything is better than that.
Meanwhile, dolphin..

the thousand time I say it: dolphin is the same browser as stock (uses stock webkit) with some added features :|
The browsers that use a different render engine on Android are:
Puffin
Opera Mobile
Opera Mini
Dolphin BETA (no armv6)
Firefox
Chrome
Any other browser is the same as stock in terms of speed, if you think it is faster, it ISN'T! Placebo... 100% guarantee
