Guess I'm updating my browser... again.

Nice, hopefully FF 5 turns out to be a bit more stable and than FF 4 because that just keeps on crashing here....
Glad to hear they really pump out releases now, with something new/fixed in every version.

I'll stick to Chrome.

Although I have both installed.

Because Firefox doesn't work on your phone so it doesn't show up.
Try not having a last year entry level smartphone.

Me too, since Chrome is much faster and better than Firefox.

Great argumentation guys. Also good way to respond in a firefox-update thread. Why even bother replying to this topic at all?

Spoiler

Noticing my internet-sarcasm?

Wow.. that was what, about 2 months of Firefox 4 and now we get Firefox 5 beta? Interesting....

I agree but there is one crucial thing that is not properly integrated in Chrome that keeps me from using it: No proper adblock in videos!

After using FF for many years with adblocker+ I tried Chrome and imo it is the better browser and all the add-ons where also in some form available on Chrome but if you get used to not seeing any ads on the internet you cannot go back to watch a vid-ad before watching a vid...

I´m still on FF3, since FF4 somehow slows down on my system when watching videos, which doesn`t happen with FF3 or Chrome.

For everyone saying Chrome is better than Firefox, I'd like you to try blocking ads on Chrome. If you find a way to block ads on, say, BlogTV.com, please message me.

Weird, FireFox 4 is better on my computer than 3 was. My computer's fan isn't constantly roaring or anything like that. Ever since I installed FF4, it's been nothing but quiet and faster loading of the Browser.

So many sites have ads on them now it's ridiculous. IGN, GameTrailers, Kotaku, GameSpot, YouTube, FACEBOOK. Those are just the ones I frequent and it's nice not having ads on them anymore.

 

[Pyrmon]

Youtube and Facebook have ads?!?

Ever since I installed FF4, it's been nothing but quiet and faster loading of the Browser.I have no idea why that is. When I installed FF4 I even installed it completely fresh (deinstalled everything from FF3 and then reinstalled everything for FF4)...

Haha, ya

Also just tried FF5b and I had the same problem I`ve had with FF4: videos slow down the browser. Back to FF3...

 

[Bladexdsl]

4 must be crap if they decided to make 5 already...oh wait it is!

 

[Lacius]

I've had nothing but positive experiences with Firefox 4. It's sleek, it adequately blocks ads, it allows for more customization of the browser, and it doesn't have display issues like Chrome does. I am happy to see that the quality of Firefox has been combined with the frequent updates of Chrome.

 

[Bladexdsl]

i tried 4 and couldn't stand it went back to 3. everything was just too messy and out of place
