Are you compiling this on the Pandora itself?

Actually, the only real difference is that Chrome adds some small extras, including auto-updates, Google branding, a built-in PDF viewer, and bundling of Flash Player.
As a side note, Chromium isn't "stripped-down". Chromium is what Google Chrome is built from.

I know, but I still stand by Chromium being stripped down, if only modestly so.

Could you poste a guide regarding what you do to port firefox? This way someone else (possibly me...) might have a look at what is going on and be able to help and/or try to get a crosscompiler setup working for building firefox (should be *significantly* faster!).

They're not stripped, though. They're added to Google Chrome. Actually, I don't know of the features you're talking about, but I do know that Chrome has an auto-update mechanism (Chromium doesn't) and that Chrome includes Flash out-of-the-box. Not really anything major, though, that's true. In any case, these are additions to Chromium, not removals from Chrome. Chrome is based off of Chromium, not the other way around.

Hm... I get the feeling that by the time we have Firefox 7 on the Pandora, Firefox 8 will be out.
Anyone else think the Firefox team's decision to inflate the major version number was a silly one? I mean, they could still have the rapid releases, but the current version would be 4.3 instead of 7.0. Version numbering is a joke with Firefox now....

Of course. IE6 is SO much better than FF3. :lol:
On a more serious note, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that IE has a bigger version number because it's older. IE came out in 1995, FF came out in 2003. Google Chrome came out in 2008, but the only reason it's at version 14 now is because it's been inflating its version number from the start.
It's actually kind of ironic: of the 3 most used web browsers, IE is the only one that has a versioning scheme that isn't a joke.

The "security library: memory allocation failure" error doesn't actually seem to be a memory problem as such. Maybe it's the old openssl library on the Pandora or something like that, as disabling TLS (and forcing Firefox to fall back to SSLv3) fixes this error with the Google login page.
So: Open "about:config" in Firefox, search for "security.enable_tls" and set it to "false".
[edit] While it's the default, better also check that "security.enable_sslv3" is set to "true", otherwise Firefox won't have https at all.
