Just because both have a superior way of browsing privately? :P

I've been using the beta versions for a while. It is great. The only problem that I have had is some Flash crashes that causes my PC to freeze. I haven't had one in a while. But those have been the only times my computer has froze since I got it over a year ago. I don't like it.

When downloading a file, why is there no "Run" option? There's just a "Save File" option.

Using it right now on my mac. I'll probably give it a run for a couple days. Hooked on Chrome, but a former FF user.

It's seeming pretty quick, quite sleek too.

A download manager that looks like it came straight from Windows 2000 with the bottom bit looking all unjolly? Nope!

Firefox 4 allows me to use the url bar to search for stuff. Total rip-off of Chrome. It's awesome.

Damn you TC, I'm actually thinking of making Firefox 4 my main browser! GOD how I have missed FF's far superior adblock.

There is basically only one thing I like about Chrome over Firefox, and that is that Chrome does not cause videos to freeze up (while the audio keeps playing normally) and then jump back ahead to where they're supposed to be, which is what Firefox has been doing to be for quite some time now, at least if I dare to actually have several tabs open. All I really want to know is if that has been fixed.

Gonna stick with Chrome. Super sleek, fast and does what it's supposed to do and more, browse the interwebz. FF4 looks more like a Chrome clone imo.

Netflix is fine for me.

And that brings up App Tabs. I'm sort of not liking them. At first I wanted to pin everything, but after doing so I realize that they're incredibly tiny, and no title text means I can't see my unread emails in gmail or new FB messages.

Also, FF finally added jump lists and toggleable multi-tab previews. F*** YES!

Better performance, but text is weird and tabs still not up to par with other browsers. I'll stick with Opera and Chrome.

For Gmail there is a labs addon that will display how many unread emails you have in the App Tab icon.

I believe turning of hardware acceleration fixes the text.

Try disabling hardware acceleration and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, then that means you have some bugs in your graphics drivers(ATI perhaps?).

Also, I've been using Firefox 4 back when it was still considered Firefox 3.7 The only thing that still annoys me is that you can't hide the new "Firefox" menu thing (using the layout editor). I had to make a stylish theme to hide it.

I believe it's:

Tools > Options > Advanced

Under browsing you can untick hardware acceleration.

"DISCOVER MORE AWESOME" I don't like that they keep writing nonsense like that. It's an utterly minor complaint but I still wish they'd knock it off. As for the browser, it seems decent so far, but nothing really stands out to me about it
