    Well, I can’t get it installed to N900.

    When I go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/m/ with N900 and click the “for maemo”. It only installs Fennec 1.1. .

    Have managed to find the site below myself (no thanks to firefox.com/m on the n900 =>which eventually points to >>http://moff.mozilla.com/latest/…..<<= URL doesn't exist, watch your step ) and still it doesn't work ๐Ÿ™

    http://moff.mozilla.com/latest-beta/maemo/en-US/dists/fremantle/release/binary-armel/

    N900 gives "error: 404 Packages not found"

    While Packages.gz is present, Packages file should not be zipped.

    @Jezz: No, because it doesn’t support plugins (only extensions) so it can’t use the N900’s optimised Flash player.
