TIME TO REALLY EXPLODE! Posts: 1,354 Group: A Rank Hero Member #9,196 Joined: July 13, 2008 Playstation Network ID: MSX8976 Xbox Live Gamertag: MetalSyX	If you have Firefox, Version 4 has just been released and is available for download They've completely revamped the entire browser. It's extremely similar to Google Chrome now, with minimal toolbars. In fact, all the toolbars are neatly hidden away under a nice orange (In the default skin) "Firefox" button in the corner. More importantly though, it's MUCH faster than 3.X, at least for me. I mean, I'm talking Google Chrome speeds here. I was amazed at how fast I was browsing. It's still a resource hog, though. But at least it's worth it this time around. =P I haven't tried all the new features yet, like grouped tabs and such, but so far this looks like a very good download if you are a Firefox user. For those who have yet to convert from Internet Explorer, this is your strongest argument for doing so.

Trying to go with a theme this time Posts: 3,032 Group: E Rank Legend Member #11,365 Joined: August 31, 2010	Damn! This thing is fast! No joke, I remember on Google i would search up "Blazblue" in .27 seconds, now its .016!
	Something I made long ago My Stamps Agnosticism, explained Quote: I neither advocate nor demote the successes and demonizations of man's science or divine visions. I'm just saying following books translated by mankind, capable of deviant sin isn't a source of reputable knowledge I'd plan one's own life around or ahead to. I'm without a faith in either of which not because I choose to be jaded or blind to them, but because I would rather figure things out through my own eyes, not ones of others' zeal. It would seem askew of me to correct your last statement just the same. But it is arrogant to assume my faith lies in something as paltry as technical aspiration. ~Moddex Its that simple.

"I didn't use the whole thing ...." Posts: 3,252 Group: =SB= Kings Member #9,868 Joined: March 28, 2009	Well, this is going to take some getting use too, the design really is a good clean up. Can't say its any faster then it was before. . . . . Holy Popsicle stick it comes with an instant spell checker, I'm sold!

But now that it's out I've gone a head and done the update. New layout looks like it's gonna take a while to get used to, but it's not too bad. My persona of choice looks nice on still so I approve of that. Can't really say much else about it since I've litterally only downloaded it within the last 20 seconds. This is like the first thing I've done with it. I do like that I can see more of a page vertically now though. It always seemed really squished on my laptop given how wide the screen is. But all and all it's looking good. I'll give some thoughts on performance after I've used it a bit more. \|P

To fix it, type "about:config" into the address bar, then find "gfx.direct2d.disabled" and set its value to true.

Sandopolis Act 1 Posts: 1,567 Group: S Rank Hero Member #9,080 Joined: June 18, 2008 Gender: Male Steam ID: fwiss1174	Well, on my netbook, which I mostly use for browsing, I'm pretty faithful to Opera 11. It's the lowest resource one could find out of IE9, FF, Chrome, Safari, and itself. It's also small for my small netbook screen. I've tried Firefox 4, though, and its menu button looks a LOT like Opera's. Now if only they would fuse it with that cool, cool thing in IE9 where the address bar is in the same Y position as the tabs. Of course, my higher end computer that I use for school will definitely get this upgrade, seeing as I use Firefox anyway on this.

I tend to go to the full reply screen when making big posts anyway.
