I was running 3 up until a week ago, and Firefox kept nagging me to upgrade to 4, so finally I just did it to stop the nagging.
Three was stable 100% of the time.
4.0.1 locks up all the damned time with a "Not responding" and it is just a black window for about 60 seconds until it corrects itself. The other error is all browsers just close and I get the window, "Oopsie, Firefox crashed, wanna submit a bug report?"
If you haven't upgraded from Firefox 3, don't.
Firefox 4
I updated early this week and I have not seen a single issue of it being unstable. I had that program with 3 a LOT.
However, I have different complaints:
-I'm not sold on why the tabs need to be at the top rather than under the URL bar. It makes the top less organized, and the tabs no longer "stand out".
-I hate that they swapped the position of the "Open in a new Tab" and "Open in a new Window" options in the right click menu. Years of habit means I've been opening lots of new windows.
-The "Restore Last Session" option upon starting up Firefox EVERY time (Yes, even when you closed it properly.). What is the point of that? Goodbye privacy! Now my wife can log on and see that I was surfing midgetslovedonkeys.com.

Customize your Toolbars, and you can drag the refresh button and stuff back where they should be.TheCatt wrote:I upgrade a while back. I'd love to have my refresh and home buttons back where they were. Other than that, it's fine.
First thing I did.

Oooh, thanks. They looked like they were baked into their locations (the refresh especially) so i hadnt even bothered trying.GORDON wrote:Customize your Toolbars, and you can drag the refresh button and stuff back where they should be.TheCatt wrote:I upgrade a while back.

It's not me, it's someone else.

I want to personally torture whoever made the decision to swap those. Very first thing I noticed.

I think gmail is a dumpster fire.
It looks terrible and is the only email account I've ever had that was hacked.
That picture is hilarious TPR.
