Firefox 4.0

So how does everyone like 4.0? I've been using Minefield (the nightly builds) for a few months and they've been cool but all the my addons haven't been updated until recently. Now I'm completely happy with FF4.0

Awesome so far. Been running Minefield on Ubuntu for a while and switched to FF4 on windows when the RC was released (So a few weeks back) and I like it a lot so far.

Yes there is ^^ Atleast all my bookmarks got saved, but as Factionwars says, backup and try.

OT: I like it a lot, seems a bit faster than the previous version too?

Yeah, the main new features are the Javascript engine and hardware acceleration.

I've kinda stopped using firefox these days in favor of Chrome. It just seems better imo. Less bloated and a cleaner UI.

I don't really download and use RC stuff but I will make an exception and try this one out.I will be back to report. ;D

EDIT:I tried it and it's still slower from Chrome that I am currently using.Like the new GUI though , they really stepped it up a notch!

Strange, ff4 gives me big processor loads.
My whole windows get interrupted by it, like every x seconds 20% cpu.
(using a quad 2.4, so that wouldn't be a problem :P )

I like the UI, but it doesn't really seem any faster to me, or maybe it is so marginal that I can't tell. Still an improvement over FF3. Like Factionwars said, no crashes, which is definitely a plus, the older version used to crash on me every once in a long while.

Any opera users?
btw: ff sucks. Opera is much better. Nice design, easier to control, faster.
