I'm not falling for your hacks

hmm.. too slow says this benchmark:

But purely out of the feeling I got, it's pretty fast and overall good.
P.S. This is how FF4 looks if you use this tweak:

For those like me that used to have the problem with Firefox taking up almost 100 % of the cpu power when watching streams and such shit, seems to work much better in this beta version. It also takes up much less memory, not adding up like it could do at times.

Good. That was the main reason I switched to Chrome... But my addons still don't work with FF4 so I'm gonna wait.

Its great, I think its better then chrome.

Firefox never had the memory leak problems in my experience until I actually ADDED the addons. I'd let it run for days just to experiment and the memory usage would stay low. Just food for thought, as people should be more careful to observe their add-ons and not entirely blame the browser. (Though it is kind of the browser's fault for not monitoring the memory usage of specific add-ons.)
I was actually having a problem with youtube videos for the longest, and strangely.. when I removed only the google toolbar, everything began working perfectly again.
I think the new firefox layout is prettier than Chrome's.

Aren't these benchmarking tests biased because they test things that aren't on normal websites and weight them more heavily? In addition, most benchmarking sites show when a page has finished loading. Since you can change the settings to make it so a site shows things right when it loads them, you aren't really slowed down at all regardless of which browser you use because in one second enough of the page will have loaded for you to be able to use it in any browser.

My only problem with Firefox currently is it seems to hog a lot of memory with multiple tabs open (understandably) but doesn't slow back down after closing said tabs. I have found myself having to reboot because of it.
|
Like everyone said before ... addons are what usually cause the memory leaks/slow browser/etc.
Does anyone have problems with addblocking now? I didn't before but now all the ads are showing up.

For me the biggest issue with Firefox is that, under Mac OS at least, it takes an age to open, and since this new beta it now lists itself twice in my dock, but closing either one kills both. It just means that the whole thing is a bit of unnecessary clutter

Annoying yes, but it will dissapear in the next beta.

Wow This is really useful. I really think this should be the standard. One of the advantages is that when you maximize the window you can just navigate with your mouse up and only have to position your mouse horizontally to select the tabs. Because you can't go any higher you don't have to be accurate vertically.
It's one of the things I like in Chrome.

CHROME FOR LIFE! though I will be downloading this just to test it out. But it will have to be something utterly amazing for me to make a switch.

I used to use Shiira. It had some awesome features like tab expose and transition effects. Too bad the project died

This was added (for Windows at least) in 3.6.4. It is nice Show nested quote +To me it feels snappier (though this is by no means a scientific observation) I hear this about every update for every browser and it's never true D:
Opera 10 felt way quicker though in comparison to their older versions, in browsing, memory usage, response time and startup...

I like FF because it's the most W3C standards compliant. The other browsers interpret CSS in wacky ways, especially IE. Though FF could use a speed boost compared to Chrome.
