Cannot set fennec as the default browser on android, no such option on settings. This is annoying, since I am having problems with the default android browser since it stopped saving passwords even though option checked positive still. Fennec manages to save passwords, but it would be convenient if fennec starts up when there is an html link started instead of default browser. Thank you.

Reproducible: Always
When you click an HTTP link in any application, Android will ask you which browser and give you the option of setting a default.  If this is not working, you might already have set a different browser as the default; to fix this you can open that browser in the "Manage Applications" settings and press the "Clear Defaults" button.  Does that solve your problem?
Scnr, have you managed to set fennec as the default browser on android following Matt's steps?
