Make sure that your graphics card's drivers are up to date. In Windows Vista/7 make sure that you're using a proper resolution and edit your display settings to "Adjust ClearType text". Otherwise you can go to Options > Advanced > deselect "Use hardware acceleration when available".

Update is too much like Google Chrome for my tastes, I would like to see if anyone knows of a theme on Firefox to make it at least look like the old one. But I found one through googling instead of using their add-on search engine. Still annoyed that the switched the placement of "new tab" and "new window" after I got used to it, but I'll deal with it.

Is there a way to make it so that if you type a website name into the adress bar you automatically get linked there? Like if I type in "neogaf" without the www. or the .com and I automatically get linked to the site.
I remember I could do that in a previous version, and I accidentally installed a different search program or something like that. Either way I can't go to a site without having to type the full adress anymore. I figured this would be the best thread to ask about this.

thanks a bunch. Works great now.
When Firefox starts, I always have it set to show my home page. But now if I start a download and then close Firefox/walk away, and I come back to it while the download is still running and try to start Firefox, it doesn't show my home page at start, it tries to restore my previous session.
I think because the Downloads window was open the entire time, it thinks I never closed/opened Firefox at all. Pretty sure it didn't behave like that in Firefox 3. Any way to change it back?

Why are you even using that to open a link in a new tab? Middle click on the link or ctrl + left click on a link to open it in a new tab.Trike said:

Has anyone else been having problems with opening their firefox?
Everything has been running smoothly with my firefox until a couple of days ago when it accidentally got shut down. Now it won't reload the pages that were open before and the whole browser just hangs on a blank tab. I can't even open another tab or the thing will slow down to a crawl.
It also starts with 500K+ of system memory for no reason...

It might sound insignificant, but I just don't like using it for closing tabs.
I use it to open new tabs but that action is not as repetitive.

I like to have mods highlighted reddish and my own be green.
There are a few features people have been asking for but I just haven't had the time or motivations to add them. I might just end up sticking an open source license on it so people can mod it and release it as they please.

thanks for that, Zombie. Definitely something I was looking for and missing since I dropped Chrome to come back to FF.

I just downloaded the update. I fucking hate it.
This is probably one of the cheapest ways to do this. I honestly don't know much about jQuery, I tend to stay away from libs. Otherwise I would have easily used a decent regex. However, arrays and for statements did the trick.Schrade said:Please make it so you can highlight multiple users with multiple colors

}Firefox 4 is a damn mess when it comes to my browsing habits. I can't customize the toolbar the way I want, as they've gotten rid of the option to add certain buttons ("New Tab", "Stop", "Reload"). I managed to get the Reload button back on the left where I want it, but it refuses to show the Reload and Stop buttons simultaneously, as the Reload button becomes the Stop buton while a page is loading. This is infuriating for me, as I don't want to wait until a page is loaded before being able to hit Reload. I also like to have a "New Tab" button on my navigation bar, but they got rid of that for whatever reason. Also, I don't like how I have to right-click the Back button in order to skip back multiple pages. Plus, there's no reason the tab bar should be above the address bar by default.
Even with the Firefox 3 theme, shit's still not right. Back to 3.6 for me.

Seems FF 4.0 is playing silly-buggers with sans-serif fonts. I'm getting Arial/Arial Narrow (?) instead of Verdana on GAF and some other sans-serif font instead of Arial on Wikipedia.
Here's a side-by-side comparison of FF and IE on GAF:
And here's another comparison of the two browsers on Wikipedia:
(Both are thumbnailed; click for full size.)
What's going on?

Maybe it's because I just woke up, but looking at the letter e, a, t, and r (and their capital letter variations) on your first screen. It's the same font? Looks more like a difference between the rendering between FF & IE.

Erm that looks like the exact same font to me... just different font smoothing.JaseC said:

uncheck "use hardware acceleration when available".
