Update your ROM to a rom like Cyanogenmod! you'll see a massive speed boost on your Phone!

EDIT: Make sure you go for either Stable or Nightly. "Experimental" Release candidates are of Cyanogenmod 7, wich has been out for some time now. And if you know how, back up your phones current rom.

Firefox 5 beta? When are they going to get 4 out of beta. I'm still waiting for them to fix all the websites 4 broke for me.
I've been testing 5 beta for a couple of days and it still has the same problems as 4 has on some websites yet the same sites work perfectly fine on 3.6.17.
What websites?
Existing problems are things like Penny Arcade TV and Nostalgia Critic videos. Once I start playing them, I can't pause or move where the timer is on them after about the first 30 seconds.

A problem that was fixed for me in 4.0.1 was the previously mentioned videos acting like they were dropping frames every 5 seconds.

Another problem that the site admins had to fix themselves (something changed in 4, whether it was a mistake or bad coding on the site's side, i don't know) was xbox360achievements.org. Any time I tried to update my achievements in a game, it would erase all of them for that game.

The last one I can recall is some sites' layouts got all funky with 4.

But overall, I am very displeased with 4. Between the mentioned issues and the ugly redesign (that horrible corner button for the whole menu bar), it was just bad for me.

I don't understand why they are doing this new release method. I guess they want a bigger version number so people don't think IE9 is better then Firefox3.
 
disabled the addon compatibility checking, greasmonkey works fine now.

Code:
"extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0 = False"
