Yes! Damn it's fast. I have IE 9 as well. Chrome still seems a bit quicker.

I have no issues with what FF did, as using the other browsers helps me deal with the look and feel of FF4.

Have been running it since Sunday I think, when I allowed Godzilla to do the update. No problems so far.... nice and quick.

Been using it for 2 weeks. I was going to start a thread about it after I used it and it became as familiar as a well worn shoe.
It's faster than shit and while the interface is a little different, adaptation time was under a few minutes. Upgrades and updates are quick. Scrolling is smoother too.
So far, 8 out of 10 score and that's just because it's still beta.

Think I am going to stay in version 3 until I have to upgrade. At least til it automatically updates... What I don't like is seeing the tabs above the address bar. Not a big fan of that...

There's a cure for that, right click the tool bar and uncheck tabs on top...

Cool! Thanks for the info! Will still wait a bit before I step up.

I have been using both IE9 and FF4, alternating them as a kind of simple-minded a/b comparison. I like both, and both are very fast on my system. In fact, I really can't tell which shades the other.

Unless something goes south, I think I shall stick with FF as the default. I am used to the ways it handles things and the add-ons I use most have all been upgraded to work in four.

I've hooked on Chrome. I used to be a Firefox user, but the bogging down of the thing was getting to irritate me as much as using IE. Also, Chrome-To-Phone is a killer extension for Chrome that I've actually come to depend on :)

I took the dive (At your behest), and haven't looked back :)

There are banking sites I can't use chrome on. I have used Chrome a quite a bit, but I just like the feel of Firefox the best.

What was the problem? Layout issues? I know I've been having issues with Flash lately, something about "extension being out of date" or something.

My biggest issue is the "find on this page" function. On Foxfire, it is always there. With Chrome, I have to run find on a page, change pages, bring up find again, over and over. And like I said, there are websites that just will not run on Chrome. It is not secure enough.

I'll buy that there are plenty of sites that wont work with Chrome. It's not because it isn't secure enough, however. Chrome is the only browser to survive 3 years of Pwn2Own.

That is what I thought the sites were telling me anyway. Probably an excuse to why they won't support it. Anyway, I have to have something else on board to access all my accounts.

Yeah... I hate that line of reasoning: "Internet Explorer is the most secure browser, and the only one we support" (They don't tell you it's really because to train on one browser vs. 10 is cheaper)....

Chrome has been giving me some weird problems lately so I decided to try FF4. I think the folks at Mozilla got it right this time. I'm ready to make it my default browser.

Firefox has been my default browser for years, I upgraded to 4 the other day and love it. Functionality is the same, it looks a little different but the big difference is it's faster than greased lightning. If you're not in that big a hurry white lightning will do.
