[Face it Tiger..]

Considering switching over to firefox for video ad-skipping.. is there a megavideo skipper? and something ala google instant?

 

[Korey]

Have a mouse-wheel or middle button? Click it anywhere in the tab bar to open a new tab, also works for closing tabs.

Bleh, guess I'll have to teach myself to do this.

I've been waiting on this version for so long! Will try out the 64bit version tomorrow when it's released

How i set up mine.

used App button clear to make the orange firefox button transparent.
used Omnibar to merge url & search bar.
pinned gmail as app tab.
used roomy bookmarks to hide bookmark names.
and moved the bookmarks bar to the navigation toolbar.

i like it =)

How did you make the url bar so short?

Why would you use the 64-bit version?

 

[CrookedRain]

Move your mouse cursor to the right edge and you can resize it.

 

[keuja]

Firefox 4 is awesome. Chrome doesn't even come close in terms of customization.

 

[eznark]

nope

 

[hetchi]

To Test it, won't keep it until there is more support for the browser.

 

[Souldriver]

nope

The URL bar simply get shorter the more icons you place next to it. Since George's toolbar is full of icons, the URL bar is shorter.

There won't be an officially released 64-bit build for Windows, if that's what you're waiting.

Fresh install.

Point it towards news.bbc.co.uk, my go-to test website.

Becomes unresponsive for five seconds then loads the page.

Awesome.

Back to Chrome.

 

[El Sloth]

nope

I had a similar problem and moving any buttons near the right side of the bar to the other side did the trick.

Thanks, I got it close enough. I just have too many bookmarks I think.

I have had no problems like that.

Looks great. Shame it doesn't look like that in XP. It's still fuck ugly

 

[Korey]

FF4 is soooo fast. It doesn't hang anymore when I close it with a process still working in the background. It just closes, like it's supposed to.

what the hell is an XP

 

[Violater]

My Firefox 3.6 has everything the way I want it, will 4.0 import all my settings ?

Oh boy!

 

[Iadien]

damnit, FF4 won't save new bars I add to it. I want my search bar above my URL bar.

Great, seems others are having this issue. Back to the old version!

 

[Sew]

A debilitating condition caused by glacial corporate IT rollouts.

 

[eznark]

How do I bring the "Firefox" button in line with the tabs?

 

[Luckyman]

You can thank Microsoft for that.

Because Firefox is hardware accelerated it's using their new DirectWrite API for the text.

It's the same for IE9 and Chrome (if you turn on hardware acceleration)

Actually Chrome dosent and IE9 manages to render fonts slightly better

 

[Vanillalite]

Yeah I don't have this issue on Chrome. and IE9 seems to be slightly better than FF4. That being said this is a new deal for all browsers, and I'm sure they'll find a more elegant solution in the longer term. This will be short term growing pains.

 

[NYR]

Can I make FF4 look exactly like FF3 on a Mac?

I love the current look and feel, but want to benefit from the speed improvements?

 

[CrookedRain]

Going from a new version back to an old version is pretty much a surefire way to corrupt your profile and cause you even more problems in the future until you create a new profile.

I keep a backup of my profile. usually for formats.

 

[vazel]

Does anyone else still get shit image scaling in Firefox? I was hoping they fixed it in 4.

Left is how the avatars look in Chrome, right is Firefox.

 

[eznark]

Is there a way to change the location of the max/min/close buttons? I found movable firefox button which did exactly what I wanted but now I have a big blank space above the tabs

Crash Protection
Firefox provides uninterrupted browsing for Windows, Linux, and now Mac when there is a crash in the Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins. If one of these commonly-used plugins crashes or freezes, it won’t affect the rest of Firefox. Instead, you can simply reload the page to restart the plugin and try again. Learn more about plugins.


Holy shit this better works. I was seriously about to abandon firefox forever after yes ANOTHER "firefox has failed due to plugin container" crap. I think Windows 95 was more stable than firefox 3.6

 

[Road]

I don't think Chrome uses DirectWrite and IE9 only uses it selectively on some websites. The latter does have a different height and width from Fx4 for rendering fonts and lines, although the blurriness is pretty much the same when using DW.

 

[kharma45]

Just noticed for the first time that you can pin tabs, handy enough.

They need to go all the way with it though, and just sandbox EVERYTHING. Instead they just seem to be sandboxing big time plugins. Sandboxing the whole deal would be much better for security purposes.

Decided to go with the x86 version for the final after using x64 all throughout the betas because of lack of x64 silverlight. There's an x64 flash, and micrsoft is putting out an x64 IE, why don't they have an x64 silverlight?

There does seem to be a noticeable pause before it loads things compared to the x64 version but it is negligible.

Maximize the browser. The only time it isn't is when it's in a floating window.

Does anyone else still get shit image scaling in Firefox? I was hoping they fixed it in 4.

While that is something that could use fixing I have to say bullshit. just take the 5 seconds to hit a button and re-size your avatar to 90px wide and have it look better than either browser's resizing methods.

Really liking this TwentyTen2 theme

So, this is how it looks like on OS X.

Not sure if diggin' it. Gonna have to look for a good theme.

 

[Foov]

Trying it out on Mac - the only thing bugging me is it's now showing all of the symbols next to the bookmarks in my bookmarks toolbar and the links no longer all fit along the window - is there anyway to get it to display like before?

I don't think there are any.

"Recently Closed Tabs" is practically buried now.

How can this be remedied?

 

[Raine]

Ugh someone please tell me there's a way to get rid of this stupid orange "F" symbol by the first tab. I don't even know what the purpose of it is.

I'm on Mac BTW

EDIT: Nvm, got rid of it

even x64 IE9 has worse performance than x86.. not optimised at all

x64 dosent bring much to a browser

 

[Treefingers]

They still haven't got the zoom button to work properly in OS X.

Bah this shit annoys me to no end.

 

[Plywood]

The Firefox button is ugly it should really just be the Firefox Icon instead.

CTRL + SHIFT + T

How is that buried I wonder

Doesn't look too good on OS X. Chrome 10 is by far the best browser for me.

Shortcut is useful. Hopefully there is some way to pin it as a button through an extension or something, I like being able to browse the history of recently closed tabs.
