How does everyone like the new FF?

I like it fine, will take a little getting used to, but Antloader works on it so I'm good Wink

I like the 3.5 layout better, the new ones too confusing (Not really, just not used to it). I like the new style for vista and 7, but not on XP. They litterally left out XP.

Hmm, really? I guess they're already starting to count XP out, like 94 or 2000.

EDIT: I meant 97. . .I think. . .the churros are clouding my brain!

Double Edit: Damn your "Don't Click this" link in your signature!

Been using the nightly builds since last year, I actually like the refined menu and tab bars since it takes up less space now. The new Aero effect was also pretty neat, but a more user-friendly option to turn it off would be nice.

Memory leaks are still too frequent to my liking, makes FF sluggish if I leave it running for too long (2 days or more). It improved alot from FF2 and FF3 though.

Why the fuck would you run it for two days in the first place?

Haswell · Posted: Sun May 08, 2011 11:56 am Post subject:

Why would I not? My machines stay on 24/7 for most part of the year, better to leave everything as it were when I'm away and quickly resume my work when I return. I don't mind the 10s of load up time, but when you have numerous tabs open for research it becomes a pain to rummage through the history AND for the websites to load.

It's ok, but the default design looks a lot like internet explorers layout(with the way buttons are located). And I hate internet explorers layout

The statusbar at the bottom missing wasn't such a problem as long as the popup was showing at the same spot, but because it appeared at a different location each time I mouse over a url I just installed the status-4-evar extension to get the statusbar back to a fixed position

and the colors just don't really blend in well and the animations on the tabs make opening and closing tabs a bit slower. (in firefox 3.x I could close 150 tabs quickly, but in 4.x the animation actually slows it down)

But besides these points it's basically the same as 3.x , same speed, eats up the same amount of memory (500MB)

I do like that memo objects can be resized at runtime now (like the post input box)

in windows xp it's alright, in 7, everything is rearranged - i can't find anything Evil or Very Mad

Below is what I got Firefox 4 to look like. Basically, almost as good as 3.6. It's funny how tabs on top doesn't function any better than tabs on the bottom, and saves like 3 pixels. Stupidity. It's like they added that feature purely so it would be different than what it used to be.

I always use add-ons to bypass the ugly theme. It's way more customizable than any other browser, if you install the right add-ons.

Firefox becomes more and more bloated with every new version.

anyone having issue with FF4 look can just customize it by right clicking empty tab space > customize. Then move around all the icons to desire. Mine uses the default theme but the buttons and all are layered out like 3.6.
