Firefox 4.0 RC out

[smiths22]

so, no firefox 4 today... shame.. .maybe next year.

Been screwing with 4 for a while and the only issue I have is it handles PDF's badly.

Had to install Nitro PDF, but still the RC handles PDF's worse than the Beta's.

Hate to say it but, Chrome handles PDF's like a champ. I just don't like that Chrome does not work with Open DNS very good or at all.

Foxit reader w/FF foxit reader plugin for mozilla, works perfectly every time and it is far superior to Adobe Reader in every way as well as having a much smaller foot print and not requiring a running task to eat resources to speed up launch.

Sweet! Going to try it out.

Behind at what, releasing a new browser? There is still firefox 3.6.x and it's a solid release. Has worked for me for years and will continue to work for another few weeks, and even months. I don't get what all the type is with Internet browsers. I mean a browser really should be more or less transparent just showing you the web page. You shouldn't even really have to know that it's there. I can flip flop back and forth between IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera and never hardly even realize that I am using a different browser.

Behind at releasing a fast browser LOL.

Solid? maybe, but not fast.
Mate you should use chrome, give it a try, its so fast...... however i don't like to have my images all blurry so i use FF.

FF i miss you!! hurry up!

I've used Chrome and I simply don't get into it. It might be a tad bit quicker, but not enough to keep me using it. To me, there is very little difference in speed across all of the browsers these days. FF 4 RC feels a small bit faster than 3.6....but it's certainly not a night and day difference. I'm comfortable with FF, have used it for years and just don't feel inclined to switch. I've loaded IE9, Chrome 10, Opera 11.01 and FF RC. I always end up clicking on FF and using that.

So, I don't really care if other browsers come out more often, I just don't stick with them.

The issue isn't really that Mozilla is being slow at releasing Firefox 4, it's more that they're slow AND making a big hype about it. That's probably what's irritating people. It's definitely irritating me.

Yep.

It's just a browser, not the 2nd coming but from the hype you'd believe that not only is it the 2nd coming, but it's the 2nd coming with bells on.

Generally slow and noisy things are annoying, mainly because you have to hear them for longer

Just installed the RC this morning, but now I am torn between it and IE 9

They now have the 22nd of March marked for the FF 4 release at the moment.

How about hardware acclerataion? Better than IE9 RC?

Shareaholic won't log on to gmail. Strangely that seems to be a deal breaker for me, I'm back to Chrome.

Thanks for the notification (I always leave the auto update check options un-ticked.)

Thanks. Doesn't look like much was fixed from RC1 to 2.

• Blacklisted a few invalid HTTPS certificates
• Updated localizations for 29 locales
• Added Vietnamese localization, bringing the total languages available in Firefox 4 to 83

RC2 seems quite noticeable faster than RC1 for me.
