True, but where for example IE takes an eternity to debug it's software, imo Firefox had it allways fixed asap.

I love Firefox' usability, the browser can be completely modified to your own personal wishes with all the add-ons and themes.

Seems much faster and more responsive on my Macbook. I like it. I'm going to go back to using it day-to-day instead of Chrome for a while and see if it holds up.

I have been using IE9 and it is really quite impressive. The only reason I am not using it now is because their inbuilt TPL is not working for me. I was enjoying the freedom of blocking ads in IE9 without a plugin and then all of a sudden, it just stopped working for me. Downloading FF4 now.
Not been impressed with FF in recent versions though. Chrome is find, but resource heavy and seems sluggish for me compared to IE9.

I've been beta testing it for months now - still seems a bit flaky, but no real issues. There some really cool HTML 5 demos that give a feel for what's possible in this next generation of browsers.

Sorry to be so dopey but what is TPL?

yes, installed yesterday, faster, less ram (on osx) couple of glitchy addons and themes, but i guess it'll be sorted out pretty soon

couple UI bugs (ie, the move tab arrow stays there even when im not moving tabs, and it sometimes just freeze the bookmark bar (ie, i can change tab, browse, use menus, but the bookmarks are not clickable))

i grabbed it the day before release.. installed on two win 7 machines and an xp.. all working perfectly so far..
i just now installed on the laptop and tested by going to KVR - this was at the top of the forum.. lol..
i like how they made it more like Opera where it takes much less screen real estate.. it seems a bit faster at all operations.. works best in win 7 for optimized viewing - xp can't push the tabs and menus to the very top like in 7..

it works great for my little 11.6" notebook - no more status bar or menu bar or tabs bar so i have a nicer view.. :)

Sorry, 'Tracking Protection List'. It is essentially inbuilt into IE9 and you can subscribe to various ad blocking/tracking lists like EasyList (used for the famous Adblock), Abine and others (TRUSTe list not recommended by the way as it unblocks everything you have blocked in other lists).

It was working for me great and blocking out all ads and then all of a sudden, it just stopped working even though I have it enabled.

I can't find a bug report for it yet.

While it was working IE9 was lightning fast and great to use. I was close to making it default before the TPL screwed up.

I tried it. It actually seemed slower to me. Went back to 3. :shrug:

I have a refresh button.
I think you can set it up if you customise the tool bar.
Maybe it depends on the theme you use.
Have a look in the Firefox help section :wink:
