Title: Thoughts on Firefox v4?
Post by: bsfins on April 08, 2011, 10:24:28 am
I've been using firefox4 as my secondary browser,and wondering other peoples thoughts on it...

I like it's customizable,it seems to be pretty fast,and I have the option of the "old style" bookmarks menus more reminiscent of like IE 7-8...Now that I've gotten used to having folders on a menu bar :D For me it doesn't seem to be as much of a resource hog,but it does seem like it takes forever to launch the first time I try to launch it that day.I've caught myself thinking I didn't hit it, Hit it again....Wait...Tick,Tock,Tick,Tock...Hit it again...then all of the sudden I've got 5 instances of Firefox running... :P :-[

I use Firefox primarily, with IE only when I have to, if something doesn't load correctly in one browser, or if I have to load a microsoft update.  I haven't noticed anything really different in FF4.  What's new about it?

Maybe I am not getting it...  Its nothing special, IMO.  I don't see much new from the prior version, other than they moved the tabs to the top just to confuse me more.  What am I missing?

Seveal months ago I started using firefox as my "secondary" browser.  Now it is about all I use rarely launching IE (other than for google searches in which I want to see the ads sometimes) I am using 3.6.15 so it may or may not have features that v4 has.

I am on 4.  It's got a bit of a different look, but I don't notice any difference in performance.

Shakes head,shrugs shoulders...Uhu-huh...

I was using the Beta release candidate as my secondary browser,I use Chrome 90% of the time,then downloaded the v4,non release candidate version.I noticed a speed bump from v3.6 to V4 on somethings,but not others...I thought perhaps someone would tell me....  ;D

So this thread isn't about the 4th sequal to the original Firefox movie with Clint Eastwood?
