Maemo 5 gets Firefox Mobile, no flash on board

Firefox is the most popular desktop browser among gadget nerds. With that in mind, you can imagine the amount of excitement Firefox on a smartphone can create. Finally Mozilla ports its robust desktop browser to a mobile platform and Maemo is the first to get it. Though with anticipation comes some disappointment. Users are reporting that the default browser not only seems to be faster and more consistent, but also Firefox Mobile does ‘not’ have Flash. The default browser in Maemo has Flash and the default option is a more than capable browsing experience. So are N900 users going to ditch their stock option for this? Not just yet. We do want to see Firefox mobile on other platforms though and hopefully Flash will eventually be implemented.
