Is anyone else using it? I love that i can sync my bookmarks to the phone. Maybe you can in others too. But i can not get Adobe Flash to install on FireFox. I figured if anything would let it push through that FF would be it. So now i have to use Dolphin too for the video aspect. Does anyone else have flash through Firefox working?

Its coming along. Interface could be more smooth. No copy and paste yet and I hate when browsers don't have an exit button and continue running in the background. They haven't got flash working yet and I have a feeling when they do its going to slow it down significantly.

It's kind of a mystery to me how the Mozilla team (who obviously knows how to put a nice, speedy browser together) can't get FF Mobile right. And they've been working on it for what, going on 2 years now? Seriously?
It's awful. Slow, unresponsive, lacking in features and functionality, and just an un-inspired design for a mobile browser.
I love FF on my laptops and other machines, Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client is always the first and last thing typed into IE on a new Windows installation. I was really hoping to be able to use bookmark sync and some of the other great features that I use with FF on my SF.
Sadly, FF Mobile is a POS. It's HUGE for one (c'mon guys, 15-18MB for a mobile browser? wtf are you doing with all the code besides slowing everything to a crawl!) and just doesn't work very well. It eats up GOBS of ram on these phones.
Dolphin kicks it's tail from top to bottom. Hell, even Samsung's stock browser is a much more enjoyable experience than FF Mobile. I just really got into Dolphin HD and the design of the slidable menu/bookmarks and options is just awesome. Now that's how you design a browser for a 4" mobile screen!!!

I added a combination of Xmarks and Lastpass (now both owned by the same company). There's a yearly fee (can't recall how much), but between them they keep my passwords and bookmarks synched between my desktop computer (Firefox), my laptop (Firefox) and Fascinate (Dolphin HD).
I heard the RC is coming out soon however I still don't care for it too much. I would reccommend NetFront Life Browser or Skyfire. Although, Firefox has some good ideas, I found the bookmarks updating to slowly and lack of support for the common pages I went too. I have it uninstalled and waiting for a few more releases before trying it again.
I noticed once I downloaded it, it kept freezing my phone when it was still running in the background. I just uninstalled it today. It's so slow and 1/2 the things don't load. I'm kinda sad that the people who designed the firefox web browser can't figure out how to make a kick ass mobile browser.
