    Just took the plunge into FF 4 RC1 and it was a breeze. All my add-ons and customizations including Extentions, appearance, and plugins are there and functional. It appears to have over-layed the 3.6.15 without a glitch...Good job Mozilla, this is why I like this product...great developers and outstanding product quality.

    Easiest FF upgrade ever. Hope the final is as easy.

    Did they fix the Text Rendering issue yet
    Going into about:config and changing gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled from true to false made it look a lot better for me. I hope its all sorted in the final release.
    I did that and it looks the same still. I'm using 3.6 until either Mozilla or Microsoft does something about it

    How exactly does it look for you? It looks just peachy on my end and runs perfectly too.

    Curious thing; I installed the RC and set it up, speed dial etc. I then installed the latest x64 Minefield version. This is 4.0b13pre.
    After the install I had both x86 FF and x64 Minefield installed. They both opened and operated separately.
    The only noticeable difference was that FF had Firefox written on the menu tab top left and Minefield had Minefield.
    Today, when I open FF I get Minefield. I now just have two different logos on the task bar that both open Minefield, the traditional FF logo and the Minefield blue/black Earth bomb logo.
    Not sure how this has happened. It's not a problem as I prefer Minefield but it's interesting that it should have "disappeared" 32 bit FF.

    It looks blurry, and it looks like a different font completely than what 3 used. Downloaded RC1 again, and I can't get over this font change, I really can't.

    You can adjust the font (type/size) in options/content

    Well I just Google'd "Firefox 4 RC blurry" and it does seem that some other people are having this issue too. However, I am not. The installer upgraded my FF install from 3.6.15 to 4.0 RC.

    There are some posts on Google which reference "Direct2D" as being in use for the text. Also there is the obvious term hardware, therefore your computer abilities or lack there of may be an issue? Perhaps you might want to run the DirectX updater too? I did that on (this) recent install of Window's 7 and it found a ton of "Direct NAMEHERE" updates for update/installation. it may help, or may not, but it doesn't hurt to be up to date.
