Chrome beat them to the punch there. Desktop to device sync is awesomesauce.

Anyone know how fast this is compared to the ICS stock browser? I'd like to move to firefox because I've already got everything synced on my desktop in firefox.

Firefox and chrome both need to launch a product like opera mini, which uses data compression.

I thought that was the point of mobile sites?

I'm a Web developer so I love Firefox for desktop (Firebug), so I didn't hesitate to install it on my HTC Desire HD. I must say it feels more nippy than the stock browser. Tried m.facebook.com and it didn't render properly :-( Stock broswer renders it perfectly.

Ya same here, on my Desire m.facebook.com takes me to the old-style 2010 version of the mobile facebook site on Firefox, but the built in browser goes to the new fancy modile site.

that's so true, I agree with you also because Operamini seems to have no competition in that regard despite its bugs. I hope other browser makers realise that too.

Does Chrome for Android support Flash now?
