snowdogged Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Firefox 4 is out of beta testing and I can't believe how fast and smooth it is. Never seen a browser even close to this. Link to download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm referring to the refresh button, home button etc...I do not see anything there to move those. It's no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had it installed a few hours and so far so good. However, I just now checked in the processes and this thing is a major memory hog. It's using about 250 megs of memory(unreal!) but the funny thing is that I haven't noticed any slowdown in my laptop at all. I use to notice a slow down in the old version which used around 6 times less memory than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Limelight* Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Terrible. Hate everything on it. I'm back with 3.16 I like it much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleairwaves Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Installed it on my laptop. Crazy-fast. I don't like how it copies Safari's placement of the refresh button, I've always found that pretty annoying. Some interesting options for organizing tabs. I'll have to play around with it. I think I'm going to stick with Chrome as my main browser for now, but it could grow on me. Edit: Never mind, figured out how to move the refresh button. Excellent! Edit again: Okay, wow. Best interface ever. Edited March 25, 2011 by invisibleairwaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Limelight* Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Didn't like the interface, didn't like it in general really, buttons anything. Just the whole thing wasn't a fan of. Sure faster but It wasn't what i wanted as a whole from a browser. 3.16 does, 4 just doesn't for me. It's not even the fact it's new and everything just don't like it period nothing is appealing to me about it (at this time i'll add cause you never know but right now no.)

invisibleairwaves Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Well, what's nice about it is the sheer level of customization. The whole interface is completely modular...you can add, remove, and rearrange anything easily. Saying you don't like the interface is like looking at a blank canvas and saying you don't like the artwork. If something isn't where you think it should be, just put it there!

barney_rebel Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I find it a bit sluggish. Coworker said that importing the old profile was not the best way to do it. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thanks, I love the upgrade. Also just added the Moving Pictures persona. I see a member here made one using the image in his sig. See if you can find it... Hint: http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/persona/80446 Good hint, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I haven't bothered yet; my computer's so old and slow I don't think it will make much of a difference. Does it still try to sneak the Yahoo! toolbar over on you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pags Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just upgraded to it. A bit of getting used to, but so far it seems great. This is the first time I'm branching out to discover add-ons and personas, etc. I'm using the Rush album covers persona. I'm kinda digging the Pin As App Tab.

I just created my own from a pic on 5150 Studio's page... going to send them an email before "publishing" it to make sure it's ok with them that I turned one of their images into a Persona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
