Mozilla launches Firefox 4

[Buddahfan]

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.

To maximize the benefits from using Firefox go here

cant really compare them, they will either be the same or slightly different.

would be best to do a clean install until the new minefield beta's appear.

Always uninstall betas and alphas and even RC version before installing the final version.

Hei all,
I've just installed FF4 and it's fantastic
I've heard a thing about "tab application", in particular there is ad add-on that make you know when there is something new in your opened tab application. Someone know what's its name? I'd like to have this add-on because it updates your tab application and it's cool

No, the previous version will be automatically upgraded, no need to remove any other versions

Anyone know what's the difference between final and RC2. I didn't find it in the changelogs either. I installed over the RC and it's looking good. Also if you visit Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client, you'll see that Firefox 4 is the default now.

Final and RC2 are the same

Got the official version. Not sure about blurriness, but the fonts do look sharper once the hardware acceleration option is un-ticked.

What about the today's "nightly" 4.0b13pre? Is it the same as the final? Is it the beginning of 5.0?

Downloaded firefox 4 even with incompatable extensions disabled it will not work properly,have gone back to 3.6,will try it again soon,dont like where the tabs are now,they were ok where they were,why have they moved them,problems i had with firefox 4 ,it would not display correctly,top bar was missing and i could not close tabs,it was a complete mess.

Where is the hardware acceleration option??

Not impressed with FF4 at all. When increased in 200mb of RAM for me each second. Was using 2.5GB at one point. All I had open was google. Something isn't right.

 

[Jaime74656]

eeeeh....that isnt right, might be some unexpected features of code...did you submit a bug report?

Use hardware acceleration when available
