Firefox 4 Beta launches

[naruses]

Do it nows opens quickly like Chrome?

Cause thats why I changed from Chrome to FireFox.

 

[DeltaBurnt]

GREAT! Now I just wish it would open faster

Get more RAM/better CPU

Cmon! Why does Firefox become the only who that crashes after I click on it! It's not a RAM issue. I have 3GB in a laptop.. Opera, Safari, and Chrome open quickly.
And if you tell me it's about the plugin's you're wrong since I only have 4 of them

DERP DERP CHROME.

Yeah, can't touch on Chrome.

I have it and it runs pretty awesome. I noticed that now pages take a little extra time to show up, but once they do all the images pop up instantly (instead of the background loading, some imagine loading, more text, etc.).Firefox waits a period of time before it begins drawing the screen (so that things appear more smoothly as you've shown), but some guides and "speedup" addons (I'm looking at you, fasterfox) will modify this value to a lower value so the page appears in pieces before it's more complete. Perhaps your old install had one of those values changed?

Actually, a faster harddrive.
Or switch to Vista/7 and turn/leave Superfetch on, it's designed to make programs load faster and gives no performance decrease.

1 - Low memory will only cause crashes if it overflows both physical memory and the page file when the page file is set to a static amount instead of dynamically allocating. Dynamic is the default, in fact static has to be manualyl set (and is a bad idea in most cases). So basically low memory doesn't cause crashes.

2 - You don't need a specific number of plugins to cause a crash.
You can have just one, and if that single one fucks up, then you've got a fucked up plugin.
You can also have 25, and if none of them fuck up, you're good to go.



Again, this is a BETA. A beta is an UNFINISHED/TESTING version!

Well one thing I noticed about Firefox, is that it that it's themeing and addon system is a little more in depth. So if you add that up with atleast 10 addons and a theme, plus plugins it's going to take some time to boot.

I don't get it.

 

[NeSchn]

Eww, I don't like Chrome and this looks exactly like it. Looks like when this comes out I'm back to Opera.

 

[Splych]

woah...
nicee!

i might go back to firefox if it matches up to google chrome

 

[jan777]

Its faster that FF3 alright, but still takes a lot of system memory. and because of that, google chrome is still my

You haven't used the last few versions of opera, have you?

Firefox 4 looks more like opera than chrome.

You can make it look pretty much the same as firefox 3

Why is everyone in this thread so stupid.

Why is everyone in this thread so stupid.

Because you touch yourself at night

such randomness. and like button too. imma make mine too once i figure it out.

 

[Gh0sti]

what plugins are you guys having trouble?

i have divx, greasemonkey(for homestarrunner), and icequickstream script anyone having trouble with those plugins?

 

[dinofan01]

its just too damn ugly for me to use right now. Its slightly faster to me but ill stick it out with chrome until they get out of beta. hopefully then theres more polish to the gui.

OP only posted a link to a Wyndoze build. All the builds can be found here, including those for Mac and Linux:

[Gh0sti]

[lolzed]

Since its beta(and you are going to install it),go with 2

 

[Maz7006]

If anything this is much faster than FF3

but then again only people with a slow cnxn like me would notice the difference
