What do we think?

Seems to run faster for me, and I like the new layout.

Was set to downgrade when I saw it had the same problems with Directdraw as IE9.

Luckily came across this, disabled it and saved myself a headache later.

I think the new layout is toilet.

On windows 7 laptop, the tabs are right at the top (if you want) I like this as seems to make a bit more space.
But on older XP desktop that option isn't there, not sure why...

I've given it ago because FF3 security updates will stop soon. Added a few things to make it work/look how I want.

Can't say it's any quicker/better then FF3 personally.

"6 x faster" BS. Laughing

For anyone wishing to revert back to FF3.

Right click tab bar and click tabs on top? Mine has that option but I like the tab bar below the navigation bar Smile

Just updated..

not sure if I like it or not tbh, text is definitely blurry though so will try this method, thanks!

EDIT: Text is clearer, and the browser does seem to run a little quicker!

Has anyone else found an issue with embedded youtube videos?
It says an error has occured, try later - but chrome will play them as an embed OK.
Clicking the frame and viewing on youtube all is well [with FF4]

edit: seems a known issue but no solution

Me too, I've noticed it likes to crash now and again too, esp when opening things like a pdf file on the browser etc.

It's been crashing like a mutha for me today (or alternatively it's taking an age to respond to page loading). Anyone experiencing similar? Tempted to try Chrome - What's BCF opinion on it compared to Firefox?

Downloaded it last night. Like the speed, don't like the memory usage which appears to be around 60% more than FF3.

Like the layout too.

Can someone tell me how to get the address bar to go straight to the most likely website, rather than it searching google first? I can't see it in the options Smile
