Firefox 4 is out now :)

Ive just updated from 3.6 and I'm liking the new interface

You can download from the link or update from your current FF browser

I would update but it says like 8 of my addons won't work :(

Im using it now and i love it, but all colors looks a bit washed out, and the text is blurry?

To me it looks like running a diffrent resolution than native, perhaps even AA, i dont know it looks a bit unsharp, like an interlaced resolution or something.

Do you have an ATI video card with MLAA enabled?

Hrm, theres a diffrence alright, i even checked in the controlpanel and disabled anything there for FF.

IE8 to the left, FF4 to the right.

From the picture it looks like the text is clearly much more readable on the IE than on the FF, contrl mousewheel = no diffrence the text is still blurry and the size dont matter it looks "uncrisp" anyway. :(

Turn up the sharpness on your monitor.

^I know is not, I've seen it, but thats another solution to compensate for certain apps. The lazy way to fix it :)

Also a GTX460 and just upgraded to Firefox 4. I do notice the text looks a little blurry on some sites with non-boldface text. This isn't a problem on every site though, and the textbox I'm typing in now, the text looks fine. Even some sites I've tested with non-boldface text look fine. Seems to vary based on the font.

Tried it yesterday. It is good but its not as fast loading up or loading pages compared to Chrome.

Will definately use it as my backup browser.

i have used opera too. i think it loads way faster than FF. also i liked 'speed dial' very much. the only thing i hate about opera is that all versions of opera above 10.10, create so many garbage files in my temp folder. i will clear my cookies, browsing but they wont go. i got pretty much sick of all the cleaning of temp folder every few days. have been using FF 4 beta 11 for few days. it looks okay

EDIT: i just checked out chromes newest. its faster than FF too. so i guess i will switch back to opera or chrome.

I couldn't never change from firefox, I like my addons too much :(

Anyone know how to check whether certain addons are compatible? I can't live without NoScript and AdBlock Plus.

Awesome over 8.2 million downloads and counting. Its showing the strain I was downloading the 15mb update through the browser at 5.5kb/sec;)

Got the direct download instead.

I hope they've eliminated the occasional bog down issues. That is so freaking annoying. It's the only thing that I don't like about the browser. It slows to a crawl sometimes.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. I'll be sticking with Firefox 3.5 for a while. Chrome and new versions of Firefox lack some add-ons I can't live without. Speed is not an issue if you have an SSD

i have a 5850 and after firefox 4 is running for a while, my gpu starts working 100% and the clocks are maxed. this continues after i close the browser and i have to reboot to get it back to normal.

And that's all FireFox will ever be.... Everyone's backup browser... Poor FF. :(

Palemoon + No script + ad block plus + better privacy... Absolutely destroys google chrome.

runs faster, way better web security, and overall just better in my opinion.

anyone with AMD cards using it? i posted earlier about the GPU activity in CCC being stuck at 99% after a while but at the time i wasnt sure it was a FF problem. i can replicate the problem in firefox 4 very consistently using the demos on mozillas website (the 360 degree video demo especially). for a while GPu activity will be as expected then it shoots up to 99% and a restart or putting the PC to sleep is required to get it back to normal. closing FF doesnt do a thing for it. ive also tried disabeling the hardware acceleration in FF but that doesnt make a difference either. ive been testing it all day today though. ive been using chrome and enabled the GPU acceleration in it for good measure. ive gone to the same sites (though the 360 degree vid doesnt work in chrome) and thrown all the HTML5 i can at it. the GPU has been behaving normally. ive tried a few games also and everything is working as expected. but i loaded up FF once and within 10 mins the problem came up. poking around dinternet many of the people who are reporting the problem are also using FF4 or a FF4 beta. i have a 5850 and have seen this problem in 11.1 and 11.2 (i removed 11.1 first before installing 11.2). so im just wondering if there are other AMD GPU users here that are having the same problem? if there are, were you beta users also or is it a fresh install of FF4?osan0

same problem, sticking with chrome for now

I tried a few it didn't get stuck at 99% or anything. Don't know whats happening with other people hope it gets sorted for you guys.
