Hey guys I decided to give Firefox 4 RC (trial version before the release) a try and LOVE IT!
It's a lot faster and has a different look to it. I had to share this with all the freepers. Hope you all like it as much as I do.
Here is the link,

I’ve been using it for a few days now. Definitely faster than 3.6.15 or whatever iteration they last issued.

I've used Firefox RC and also Beta versions 6 thru 12. Somewhere along the line one of them starting deleting some of my bookmarks.
Didn't delete the folders, but as an example, all the links within a folder or the bottom 10 of 20 links within a folder.

Hold it. Isn't today the release date of Firefox 4.0 final version?

How does it compare to Chrome? I like Chrome because it is so fast, but I love Firefox extensions.

I had to back up to 3.6.3. One of the later updates loaded a bunch of crap, flash junk, java junk, pop-ups, etc., and created havoc.
I like Firefox, but it is becoming a glutware nightmare. [Does FF 4 fix the memory problem FF has had since version 0.7? FF claims it isn’t their fault, but FF continually consumes and fails to release memory.]
I have played around some with Chrome. It is okay, but it lacks much. It does something my other browsers (FF & IE6) won’t do — it loads video from the news networks. I have always had a problem, especially with FoxNews and CBS and their videos.
I am at XPsp2. I have stopped updating most of the software I run, simply because I know XP and my computer just can’t handle it. I’ve been looking around at the Win 7 laptops/desktops, but can’t force myself to spend the money yet — since I am retired and don’t really need a high-powered processing computer.

Been using FF4 for a couple of weeks. I like it. It takes some getting used to the locations of things but it works better.

I’m pretty much an Opera guy. Fast, easy to use, and intuitive.

Been using since about 4.0b6 or so. Very fast, very easy to use, handles lots of tabs open without any problems. Lots of nice features. Good rendering. It’s a solid effort.

I hate it. Tried to check vanguard funds - Vanguard wouldn’t let me in because it said I had to enable javascript - - I checked it - fine. Still couldn’t get in - had to use Google Chrome. Where do I get my old version back?

I've been using it for three days. I like it and think it's an improvement.
So far, anyway :-)
