Download Firefox 4.0 Final Now a Day Early

you know i tried the beat and found some websites (especially this one) load slow. so i switched to opera till the beta was over but even in this final version no improvement so i am sticking with opera

also i didn't download it firefox just updated from RC1 to the final version for me

I'm going to wait so my everything (add-on's) dont break.

The browser downloaded it automaticly for me.

And now it's time to redo that benchmark you did yesterday, eh?

awesome

firefox never looked so good......

@captaincharisma

throw adblock and noscript onto your firefox and it's load in next to no time, if it dont then there's something funny happening that u need to get to the bottom of

Love it!

I hope the sites aren't too bogged down by the time I get home from work tonight.

Just like Adobe, another of 1000 updates and I can't tell the fucking difference from before

Check your license, does it also say you're legally blind?

Anyhoo, love FF 4. Some less important addons are broken yeah, but I've been using since the early betas and have seen more and more compatibility updates as the release date approached.

I just checked the MD5 of this download, it's identical to Firefox 4 rc2.

I didn't have to download it, Firefox 4 RC1 just updated to it automatically

So basically it is less compatible but there are more updates to make you feel like they are at least trying. Wow

Great, can't wait to try it when I get home.

i downloaded from this link but mine is bugged everything is fine EXCEPT when i press enter after typing a website in the adress bar it doesent find i have to actually CLICK the green arrow WTF?

Poor Girl has to change shirts so often

is Firefox 4 Rc, beta or final? cause thats what downloaded?

ya... they really need to get rid of the bright orange box... It's either that or I have my menu bar taking too much space, I just can't win with FF.

I have a problem with Chrome taking forever to load this site....and IE9 not allowing me to post....Sadly, Comodo Dragon, which is just Chrome with improved security, works just fine...



She should just do away with the shirts....

as far is i can tell ! IE9 is faster and more fluid than FF4 !

Where is my options button!? I want my tabs, bookmarks, options, back and forward buttons and refresh buttons a click away but I have no way to get to the options to make this browser even remotely usable for me! Why would I want a whole extra inch of viewable website space in sacrifice of all those things I mention being just a single click away?!!

Firefox is dead to me. I switched to Chrome a while back when FF started slowing down, never tried any of the beta's since I had had it with the whole thing, but figured they would be done fixing any problems..
Alas, I'd have to say FF now holds the crown for slowest browser out there, even compared to IE9. Depressing really. And I have gone to some length to test it, including a clean install of Windows and tried it on my MBP, with the clean OSX install on a separate partition.. No avail.. Still slow.
To hell with them. I'd use anything before them now.

Although I must add, the firefox girl in the picture I'd switch back for. Unfortunately she nor a decent picture of her in that shirt wet is included in the install.. so meh..

Also why cant I close tabs in just one click? why did they have to hide everything!? everything about this new firefox has frustrated me to no end! So much so I had to comment twice about it! lol

Regarding your first message, not sure what you talking about. You can right click next to the address bar to turn on the menu bar with the usual pull-downs like History, Bookmarks, Options, etc etc. I have the menu bar off and just use Alt to pull it up when I need it. You can also right click the forward/back buttons->Customize to add in any buttons you want to the toolbar, History, Bookmarks, etc etc.

And to close tabs one click...install Tabmix Plus. I think middle clicking closes tabs with or without TMP.

Everything is really still there from 3.X. They just changed it a bit and you need to do a little detective work to bring it back to how you like it.

AND ANOTHER POST! I cant even close the god damn browser without bringing up my task manager! Can one of you who love this browser please explain how the hell it works what so ever for you? Cause its pure garbage to me....

I have none of that stuff, it used to be there, but then I closed the browser and opened it again and now I have absolutely nothing but that Firefox symbol in the upper left that brings up the search bar, opened tabs and most visited websites, and nothing else....there is no way at all for me to close tabs or to edit options....

You may want to try the most annoying option: Add/remove uninstall Firefox, reinstall it from scratch to a different folder, and run it with firefox.exe /profilemanager to start with a fresh profile. Maybe something went bad in the upgrade to 4.0, maybe one of your addons was coded poorly and the developer set supported version = 4.* without thinking. The addon equation can be eliminated with Help->Restart with Addons Disabled.

I had no addons before, this was a fresh install....

Ok...let's start from the beginning then: for me a fresh profile looks like: http://img576.imageshack.us/i/image2lg.png/ . Is that what it looks like for you?

Haha not at all!
