So, what do you think?

Just opened up a brand new Macbook Pro and that was the first thing I installed.

It seems pretty quick, but I can't really judge because the laptop itself is fucking fast.

[bronco67]

It's just a web browser. Not trying to be facetious. It really is just a web browser, like every other web browser. It's not going to iron my fucking shirts.

BTW, who in the fucking christ is that hottie in the animated gif in your sig?

[fatfoo]

It doesn't look too bad.

[TheSenator]

My tool looks less cluttered.

Hasn't crashed yet....

Firebugs works flawlessly.

No idea who she is or where it came from. I usually like a big thick ass too, but this one memorized me.

[DigitalTheory]

I like the less cluttered look and feel of it. I dislike not having a viewable status bar. Or am I just missing it? The rollover popup on the bottom of the screen is buggin me. Might have to use the add on to get the status bar back.

looks good but I still prefer Chrome

Is there a way to hide that fucking thing?

I do like the tabs up top where they should be.

[just a punk]

Don't forget to set geo.enabled to false. Otherwise you'll be fucked

Chrome doesn't allow to disable your geo location tracking, so big brother is watching you

Nope. But she's not too.

Not that I know of, but I am searching. There is an addon that will give you the old status bar tho.

Firefox is a bloated piece of shit browser that cuts your productivity by 60%. It is an annoyware - force-updating itself every 24 seconds, asking you if you wish to upgrade your plugins every 12 seconds, and taking three times longer to launch than IE and five times longer than K-Meleon

I've been meaning to ask you that. Oh well, you just ruined my week.

[bbobby86]

finally... it is awesome...

Firefox 4.0 is a significant improvement over Firefox 3.x. If you currently run the earlier version you will definitely want to upgrade. While it is still not as fast as Chrome it has more features and extensions and is at least in the ballpark with the new version whereas before it was nowhere close.

I have also read that Mozilla is going for a rapid release of Firefox 5 with many more updates than they have traditionally made in the past. This is said to have been done to push the improvements to users faster and more closely match Chromium's release schedule.

You can disable all those update notifications by going into Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Updates (at least on my copy). IE is integrated into the OS in such a way that gives it an advantage as far as startup times. However, thankfully on average a person might start a browser up three times per day so this represents a grand total somewhere around five seconds per day depending on the system.

tried, uninstall, back to 3.6

[pimpware]

Roboform online toolbar will not work with FF 4 so I will stick to FF3.6

[michael.kickass]

I'll try it soon, not just yet

[CYF]

I've been using it all day and it's definitely faster. I like it so far.

[pristine]

looks and feels like chrome.

[fris]

over 5 million downloads in 24 hours.

ie9 got 2.5 in first 24

[Black All Through]

tried, uninstall, back to 3.6

Ditto, tested it on a laptop and uninstalled after i checked out how much ram it chewed up. By the time its a 4.3 it could be ready.

[Machete_]

FF is a system resource hog and a slow piece of shit.

[Eldon Hoke]

over 5 million downloads in 24 hours.

2 million were web developers checking to see how much more their website's break in their shitty rendering system.

works pretty well
