It's true, the Android browser is extremely fast, polished, easy to use, and good at rendering. We still have more performance and polish work to do to make Fennec competitive. That will be happening during our beta release cycle.
But once Fennec matures, I think it will be a better browser for some users - not everyone, but many people. Already there are features that I miss when using Android's Browser:
* Quick access to the tab bar.
* Seamless sync with my desktop history, tabs, bookmarks, form completion, and passwords.
* Add-ons. The ability to customize the browser is great. Here are a few Fennec add-ons that I've written to scratch my own "itches": https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/user/5283521/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/mobile/user/5283521/

Thing is, I had no idea I was opening multiple windows in the first place. Compared to the iPhone browser's treatment of multiple windows, Android aint so good. Perhaps Fennec has a better approach.
