My yahoo toolbar doesn't really work anymore. Not sure if that's the result of Firefox or just crappy yahoo.

I'm curious to know if it has issues, loads quicker or has more features or something like that.

I've been having nothing but bad experience with it so far. It constantly crashes, the yahoo toolbar isn't functioning no more, and the flash support sucks as much as the previous version.....

It's VERY good, although it drains a bit more free space than Internet Explorer 8.

not a fan, I liked previous firefox because of its sensible interface, 4 has gone to a chrome style "shiny" mac inspired interface...which is one of the reasons I don't use chrome. Also, it doesn't ask for confirmation when closing multiple tabs, and randomly doesn't save tabs.

Not bad. I kinda like it. Only part I had to get used to was the fact that the refresh button moved.

Yeah, my biggest gripe was that it disables that feature by default and you have to go into the FF settings page to enable it.

Other than that it's great though.

You know you can customise and move all the buttons right? I have my back, forward, refresh, home buttons all to the left of the address bar.

Can't you just download a Firefox 3.0 theme to use?

Your sig is also a godsend especially in this thread. I will never understand why them removed standard FF features that everybody loved and made them so annoying to re-enable.

I downloaded the 5 beta and booted it up for a second, then instantly went back to 4 when it said fastest fox wasn't compatible yet.

Thanks for the appreciation! There are two other methods to utilize regarding Save and Quit as I assume you are talking about that, but I just like being reminded at the end, you know?

They weren't removed, just turned off. It's not that hard turning them on again if you so desire. :)

I really like it. However, my first impression when i saw it was thatMozilla had tried to rip Chrome off as much as they could. Tabs above the URL bar, refresh button integrated into the URL bar and the address loading bar (the one at the bottom of the screen) only appearing when something was happening are all things that you find in Chrome. I immediately moved tabs back below the URL bar, and moved all of my Buttons (Refresh, Home etc) to the left of the URL bar, and found it to be much better (so in effect i made the interface as close to FF3.6 as I could, while retaining all of the upgrades FF4 had).

I find it to be faster, and the extra screen space is nice. I dont use addons (i prioritize speed) so i cant really comment on those, but overall i think it is a definite upgrade.

I liked it, especially the tab grouping feature. Lately, I have been using Google Chrome.

Makes better use of the screen space, much like Chrome. Which is good.

At first, it had a lot of issues for me; main one being that it continually crashed. Since then, it's been great.
