Firefox 4
- Thread starter mattseh
- Start date
I've been meaning to post about this as well. I had to uninstall it because it conflicts with one site I use regularly but it's a very significant upgrade.
I was impressed with the beta's memory usage and speed. A lot of people try to make a one button for everything (MS Office, etc) and they are usually epic fails. Firefox got it right.
A huge plus is you can sync you browser urls with your smart device.
I can't wait to for the final version to come out. I think a lot of people are going to be impressed.

I like the new tab management system...It's nice, can't wait for final so it's fully stable to use...
Lack of omnibar is the worst thing about it though...good thing there's a plugin that creates the omnibar.

Its UI is slick, I like the new look & feel, and the resource management is a lot better than 3.X's but IMHO Firefox still looks slow if compared to Chrome
After using Chrome for years, I just went back and tried Firefox out. Fucking ugly blocky piece of shit. No thanks.
i switched to chrome when firefox became unbearably slow and i'll only switch back if chrome somehow fucks up as well, which seems unlikely i think. a browser is a browser
Http Headers is still not compatible. I have been running the betas for about a month or so and most of the addons still aren't straightened out even w/ the RC but seems more get added each day. Still going back and forth between 4 and 3.6 cause of the addon issue. But overall 4 seems to be quite a bit faster. There has been a bunch of issues w/ videos so I hope thats all sorted out.
I like the space management the most. The tabs are already up on the title bar. Then no need for the menu bar. It will appear whenever you press alt. No need for addons bar as well. It'll appear as soon as you press ctrl+/. Surf in all the space you've got.
I would never trust chrome. I'm very paranoid about showing google my sites.
It's either opera or FF for me
^, yes..this!
anyone ever watch their packets when they use chrome lolz errrthang goes back to the mothership.
Global browser market share from Statcounter:
Feb 2010: IE 54.5%, Firefox 31.82%, Chrome 6.72% (Opera/Safari low)
Feb 2011: IE 45.44%, Firefox 30.37%, Chrome 16.54% (Opera/Safari low)
Got a feeling that Chrome could take over Firefox (and IE) in Feb 2012. The average web user wants fast browsing and Mozilla just never focus on this on each upgrade. Google can push their browser more than anyone else and other than a few bugs the speed and the look of the bookmarks/skins will always make it the best option (Extensions are getting better as well). I do like Firefox, but the more users = the more ads blocked = fuck them!!

for all those scared of chrome and google knowing your shit, why not just use IRON, which is chrome with all google parts stripped out.
