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 Cheesy 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...

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....  Grin

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