Anybody else using it yet?I downloaded it this morning and I'm pretty impressed,I was a little leary because the last time I tried downloading a Firefox browser when it first came out I wasn't to happy but this one is working great and it's seems a lot simpler than previous versions.:thumbup:
 
I'm growing tired of firefox killing my graphics cards and producing a 3 second lag once a minute when I have over 10 tabs open, so I might just download and try that....
 
My Firefox browser was giving me some trouble also,freezing and stuff like that,this is working good and everything seems pretty simple and I think it centers the pages better.
 
I use firefox. Am thinking about switching as it crashes at least 5 times a week. Like Last Visible Canary said mine also produces some lag. If new version is better with this then I will upgrade if not...Hello google chrome.
 
I use it
I get a glitch when I open up PDF's
It makes my cursor disappear:mad:
Other than that
I like it.....
 
So far this is the only thing that's bugging me quite a bit:

This is how I've managed to set up Firefox 4 on my old profile. It's pretty close to how 3 was with the icons in the status bar which is now gone; it's now the add on bar.

I tried to nuke the old profile and start with a fresh one just for the hell of it, but no matter what I do I can't seem to get the text on the NoScript icon to go away unless I also get rid of the text on the normal toolbar buttons (Home, Reload, Stop, Back, Forward, etc).

For the time being I've just gone back to my old profile. Overall it seems quite a bit faster than 3.6.x.

Edit: Find as you type just stopped working for no apparent reason. Restarted Firefox and it works again.

I've been using FF4 for about a week. But I just tried google chrome last night, and it seems to be significantly faster so I'm using that for now.
 
I work for Mozilla, so a small part of Firefox 4 is down to me!

If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to help.
 
Does anyone know if Image Zoom extension works on Firefox 4? That extension is the main reason I've been using Firefox instead of Chrome.
 
i am constantly switching back between chrome and ff. as of this week ff has me. we'll see how long it lasts this time...
 
Firefox 4 is a winner. Much faster and stable for me so far. Running the portable version in a Ramdrive.
 
It crashed my computer 4 times, shut down my modem, and somehow all of my saved bookmarks and passwords were changed to what they were a year ago!!
I switched back to 3.6 and no problems (except for the passwords and bookmarks). Totally strange, I have never had a problem with firefox before.
And I had no viruses, so I am at a total loss as to what FF4 did.
 
I'm seeing memory leaks in OS X (FF 3.6 also had a memory leak) - left FF4 running overnight .. it was using over 1 GB RAM.

Chrome v 10 is pretty fast and uses very little RAM ...
