Rubin Farr Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 out of beta, this seems like it's really rendering pages faster. options take a little while to find your way around, and had to find a new theme but looks good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 yeah, it's definitely snappier, especially with a shitload of tabs open. I'm diggin' tab groups as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baph Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Using it at work now, definitely a significant improvement. Chrome still feels a little faster on my home comp/OSX laptop, but I definitely like Firefox on Win7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 i hate the layout of basically everything, especially having to click the far right side of the screen just to open a new tab, rather than just hitting the plus button on the tab bar. no thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 yup and you cant move the new tab button anywhere else these could seem like nitpicks to a person who LOOOOVES the browser, but i mean interface is like the only possible thing someone could like or dislike about a browser other than speed. . and the interface sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Enter a new display name Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 They've certainly taken a few style guides from Chrome huh ?! Yeah, I was disappointed by how Firefox has been desperately copying Chrome, and Firefox users still think Mozilla have thought about those new features by themselves. This is laughable.

Joyrex Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So far I like Firefox 4 (I use it as my baseline for web development work)... much faster, and has some nice features they've borrowed from Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jackson Michaels Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 looks real cool. but i doubt i'll replace chrome anytime soon. i read this post five times (i'm drunk and high) and each and every time i read it as: "looks real cool. but i doubt it'll replace chrome anytime soon." my brain started to implode... has chrome become the biggest browser in the last couple of months or what? then i read it for the sixth time and now i'm all like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is laughable. don't all the major browsers steal good ideas from one another? where did google get the idea for chrome to have extensions? I won't be surprised if chrome steals tab groups from firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was disappointed by how Firefox has been desperately copying Chrome, and Firefox users still think Mozilla have thought about those new features by themselves. This is laughable. Don't be ridiculous. Chrome had some nice UI ideas to maximize screen estate and Firefox adopted them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. As if Firefox users aren't aware of how Chrome looks. Not adopting great innovations done by other companies because your ego is too big is desperate, not the other way around.

I just downloaded latest rc of firefox 4 and I'm using it now. The tab "+" button is right next to the farthest right tab, just like always, am I missing something? Otherwise it seems okay, single menu change is fine, i hardly use the menus anyways and it's nice to have them out of the way. The font rendering definitely seems different, at least in windows 7. Not sure how to explain it and I'm not sure it is better than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah the GPU acceleration can have a serious influence on font rendering.

mcbpete Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It broke a couple for me - The Chrome theme I was running and some Microsoft .net something-or-other. Though I don't miss either (and have no idea what the second one even was) and all the important ones like NoScript and AdBlock Plus are all a-ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Cool it doesn't break my citation plugin either definitely gonna give it a whirl then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenGOD Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I put the tabs on the bottom and it only broke a couple of extensions (the tor button is the only one I care about)...doesn't seem particularly faster than 3.6.xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
