firefox for mobiles

[David Ford]

If it's anything like mozilla/firefox now, we're gonna need a hefty
battery, hugely more cpu, and about 1G of ram onboard.

I used to love FF, now it's just a cpu/ram hog that usually gets killed
by the kernel every 36-48 hours for taking about 2G of ram.

The mozilla team needs to figure out how to slim down in a huge way
before putting moz on a fone.  Minimo is a good idea but very very slow
and quickly eats up all the ram on a phone.

Great idea, very bad implementation, and for some reason I still prefer
it over other browsers.
