Rubin Farr Posted March 23, 2011 Report 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.

Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 yeah, it's definitely snappier, especially with a shitload of tabs open. I'm diggin' tab groups as well.

baph Posted March 24, 2011 Report 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.

Joyrex Posted March 24, 2011 Report 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.

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.

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.

mcbpete Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 It broke a couple for me - The Chrome theme I was running and some Microsoft .net something-or-other.
