The one big advantage with FF, is that it can simulate a desktop browser.
Something the stock browser can't, despite the well known 'hack'....

Why would you say that? about:debug, IAString, Desktop. After that my browser renders like a desktop on every site I have been to.

Like I said; it doesn't work on my Dell Streak, & many others confirm too.
Have you tried the eBay website, for instance? Only FF works for me...

Slooowwwwww on Samsung Galaxy S.

Dolphin, Opera Mobile (not mini) and Xfire can also simulate Desktop browser by changing user agent and load much much faster than this. This is slow at rendering javascript. Looks promising but needs a LOT of work. Opera Mobile & Android Mini are better.

From what I see this works as good as Firefox 4 for Windows - slow and bloated. FF fangirls will always say this is the best of course.

televinken, the about debug hack works perfect on my droid including ebay. alot of times i have to do it right before i go to a site that i need to view as a desktop but it still works fine.

Ok. I never got it to work on my Streak though....
