It's been a long slog getting Firefox Mobile off the ground, but on Wednesday, Mozilla announced a third release candidate for its mobile browser. (Our First Look video gives an overview of RC2, the previous version.) Once code-named Fennec, Firefox 1.0 for Nokia's Maemo platform is achingly close.

Or is it? Firefox for Maemo 1.0 RC3 may signal that we're one step closer to getting a full-fledged Firefox browser on a mobile device, but the app has also taken a step back since RC2 emerged two weeks ago, shedding support for the Adobe Flash plug-in that Mozilla said in a blog post "degraded the performance of the browser to the point where it didn't meet our standards."

The plug-in is not the same as an extension or add-on, Mozilla stresses. Support for extensions like Weave remain intact in Firefox for Maemo 1.0 RC3. Mozilla does go on to point out that power testers can still manually turn on experimental plug-in support using about:config.

An Adobe spokesperson contacted CNET to add that "the "Adobe Flash plug-in" referenced was Flash version 9 for desktop Linux. This version of the runtime was not really optimized for mobile platforms, and as such we wouldn't expect it to perform perfectly."

There will be workarounds in place by the time the general release surfaces, which Mozilla told NET in an interview on Thursday could be as soon as this Friday. Mozilla showed us a test version of an add-on created by an in-house developer to enable Flash for YouTube videos. In the short term, users could see an extension in Firefox 1.0 for Maemo for enabling the Flash plug-in across all sites, plus individual workaround extensions like the currently unnamed YouTube add-on for enabling Flash for the more popular sites or videos.

The third Firefox release candidate does fix some performance bugs and should reduce the amount of crashing that testers have noticed. You can download Firefox for Maemo RC3 for the Nokia N900 or N810 Internet tablet, though if RC2 is already installed, expect Mozilla's automatic update.

The two biggest new features include on-the-fly item translation via a translate button on the individual item toolbar. If the item is in a feed that you synchronize with Google Reader, the translation will occur in-line. If the feed isn't synced, then FeedDemon will open up a Reader page. There's also a new content filter that lets users create filters to automatically certain kinds of incoming items as read. For people who subscribe to tens or hundreds of feeds, this can potentially be a major time-saver.

There's a new "Shared by people I follow" option under Shared Items, which syncs shared Google Reader items. FeedDemon goes a step further and adds in a social component to find people to share with. You could type in "politicians in San Francisco" and, theoretically, get Mayor Gavin Newsom. Users can also now customize by feed the icons that appear on the item toolbar, and this includes adding a Google Reader-style "like" icon. It's not enabled by default.

The list of short URL previews that are supported has been expanded to include goo.gl, youtu.be, fb.me, flic.kr, ow.ly and clicky.me, and the Send To option now includes Twitter.

The official release notes indicate performance enhancements, but my experience with version 3.1 was that there was still plenty of room for improvement. Even 3GB of RAM didn't prevent occasional program hang-ups. However, FeedDemon creator Nick Bradbury pointed out that the database can be massaged into being quicker by regular compacting. This can be accessed under File, then Manage Cache, then Compact, but it's a cumbersome thing to have to do semi-regularly and without a scheduler.
