Firefox 4.0

[Punishment]

Anyone else think it's useless and a pain in the ass to use ?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

In what way?

 

[Raven]

I quite like it.

 

[BloodOmen]

been using google chrome with a few custom modifications for months, got sick of firefox being shit.

 

[Punishment]

Compared to the last version before 4.0 it is way too fussy

 

[ford prefect]

I quite like it too tbh.

Yes.
The change from 3.x to 4.0 was too much of a jolt. A bunch of stuff stopped working right for me (some web apps, Flash image viewers, profile sync stuff), so I ditched FF4 and went to Chrome.

it is waaaay bloated and slow when I open some flash stuffs. it's older brother could handle tonnes of open tabs. this current 4 version can only handle about 10.

 

[Punishment]

I don't get why they mess with a good thing im tempted to use chrome now as its basically a clone of what FF3.x was

 

[Helme]

It's fine for me, except for the fact that for some reason its caused image persistence in my screen, vague outlines of the bookmark bar and the orange Firefox thing. Guess it'd happen with any other program anyways since the screen is is fairly old, but still annoying.

I'm waiting for Chrome to support ff 4 bookmark / history imports etc, i'm too lazy to downgrade. But FF is shit now, fucking slow resource hog, plugin container sucks and flash always crashs.

New "in" is soon to be chrome Id think.

 

[Ezteq]

it was a bit of a bitch when I first got it but settling into it now and it's running fine, but I really did prefer the other version.

 

[Lamp]

thye keep sending me pop ups to D/L v4...so far I've not upgraded....not sure I want FF even more bloated than it already is

 

[Punishment]

if you havent lamp i would strongly suggest you dont

 

[Lamp]

aye...don't think I'll bother. Quite happy with how it is TBH

 

[ST^]

What the fuck? Firefox 4 is much lighter and quicker than 3.6, and better in pretty much every way imaginable.

you're kidding right? well, if that is indeed the case, then it handles external things like flash in the most crappy manner possible :/

 

[Wazzerphuk]

If you're going on flash website you're either a teenage girl or a... bigger girl.

 

[TdC]

it's...um....for research purposes...

 

[SheepCow]

Firefox is still slower than Chrome, not regretting switching to Chrome a few years ago

 

[TdC]

but google is teh new satan!

 

[SheepCow]

I'm well aware that they are gathering all my personal information and will one day replace me with some well obfuscated JavaScript.

 

[TdC]

javascript eh, how low you rate yourself

 

[SheepCow]

Heed my warning, you too will end up as nothing more than an extension to Chrome.

 

[TdC]

how do you know you're not actually having a conversation with the googlecloud right this minute?

Then your setup sucks. I've no such issues.

 

[MYstIC G]

PS: Chromium > Chrome

 

[TdC]

lol did you really say that? I installed firefox to get the hell away from chromium :/

and maybe my setup does suck. however I note that currently ff4 with one tab open and just ad-block running consumes about 150MB. I hesitate to see what happens when I actually start browsing with it. ergo, it is shit.

 

[MYstIC G]

Chromium with Adblock on Netbook with Ubuntu = super speedy boot to browse (even with that POS called Unity).

 

[Jeros]

Getting major problems with flash here in both Chrome and Firefox 4.0 in the last month or so.

Maybe they changed something with flash?
