Almost on part with the ICS browser scrolling wise. That's a pretty impressive improvement, and faster than many. Now if it could match the ICS browser for this.. :) The newest nightlies with the optimization for scrolling that loads lower rez textures is a lot faster.

I am hoping that we'll be able to use this as a cross platform toolkit for apps. XUL will still be around, but platforms like Android make it hard to use XUL or even HTML as a dev platform without some wrangling. @antonio – We have been working very hard to create a platform for web applications: native style apps built using HTML5.

The only real difference is XUL overlays can't be used for UI changes. You can try to use them, but they have no affect. Instead, you must use a JS API to manipulate the Android native UI. The API is called NativeWindow (look for it in our code) and we should be adding docs for it soon. @Brian – Add-ons can be created in the same way as other versions of Firefox.

We have been working hard of the last weeks to improve scrolling and panning nehavior and performance. Try out the latest Nightly and see if the problems were fixed. @Peter – Thanks for trying it out.

It's on my bookmarks and I'm visiting it mostly daily. I was wondering if you know any replacement for Mozilla Prism?
