Sí, qué triste, tenemos que esperar hasta mañana!

Translation:

"Yes, so sad, we have to wait until tomorrow! "

I'm so bored...

EDIT: ohhh look, we have it downloading it

EDIT #2: Installed it! seems OK, i never used any of the Beta or RC ones.. this is my very 1st test, i disabled the Hardware Acceleration because it made the fonts blurry but hey, maybe it's just me needing my good ol' glasses

firefox 4 supports XP, we have a winner on this side.

I've never been a fan of Firefox, but I must say that I like it better now, than what I had seen in the past. I haven't actually worked with it yet, other than setting it up, so I'm uncertain how my opinion will stand up. One thing that they need to add is Speed Dial.

 

[Gornot]

I totally agree with seekermeister in that I too was never a fan of Firefox. It always seemed so complicated to set up plugins and extensions and personas and themes... bleh, not to mention that I too was affected by the RAM hogging issue throughout most of the v3 builds and jerky Flash videos playback, session bugs etc. etc.

But now I have to say I like it. The video posted in the first topic kind of swept me away. While MS advertised IE9 by comparing it to other browsers, this clip only shows statistics comparison between v4 and older v3 releases! That's how you market a web browser!
And it certainly does perform much better now; in fact, I like it so much, I decided to remove Chrome and use this besides IE, despite the fact that I don't have some good extensions I had in Chrome, and the fact that Private browsing cannot be made a separate process from the normal browsing mode; I still hate this fact and don't understand why this can't be implemented; all other browsers (that have a private browsing mode) can do this... Opera can separate these modes in the same window throughout different tabs, which is badass, but Firefox doesn't have anything remotely similar, which is kind of irritating; though it's one more reason I keep using IE9 as well.

Firefox 4 Final Release is out - read Yowan's first post. (has the download file link). It hasn't yet been updated from the Mozilla Site - hopefully it should.

Not just you. I did the same after Googling to figure out what was wrong with the fonts in FF4.

So HW acceleration is out the window until they can fix the fonts.

Nice find. Wish I didn't have to hit the sack. Oh, well - tomorrow's another day.

 

[smarteyeball]

Oh, well - tomorrow's another day.

Unless you sleep for two days, then tomorrow will be yesterday

Disabling compatibility manually (through about:config) can create a number of problems (even security issues). There's a Mozilla add-on @

Updated earlier yesterday (now 00:29am hehe, so "yesterday" ^_^). Works great. The only thing that wasn't working is "MultirowBookmarksToolbar" addon.

So I went to Firefox official forum and ask for alternatives. You can see the thread here :
Alternative to "MultirowBookmarksToolbar" • mozillaZine Forums

So far, I've chosen Stylish with the theme that was pointed out to me. Works great and almost identical!

Finally, I'm there.
