    Grabbed it and I must say WOW this new UI looks wonderful. I now have so much more space to read the website in the UI. I am really liking it so far.

    I especially like the part where it goes down every time you refresh, not the most accurate of measurements :D

    The count on the download site seems more accurate.

    Thanks for the link, I was wondering where I could find the download stats.

    If you set the updating of addons to manual, is it still possible to see the changelog in the update window like in 3.6?

    That's odd. I am running ff on an older Dell which took an average of 22 seconds to load FF V3.6 cold and now it loads in 17 seconds cold with V4. Once it's open V4 is really fast for me. :)

    Wilders is the only tab open for me as well, and I see no plugin containers at all in my Sandboxie list.

    Uninstalled the old version (3.6) without removing my customizations and settings. Then installed Firefox 4. :D

    Unfortunately, some of my extensions still wouldn't work even after disabling compatibility check, so I'll have to stay with the previous version for now.

    I uninstalled some extensions & updated 'over the top' of the old. Everything seems to be fine. Not too keen about NoScript in the GUI as opposed to the Status Bar though. Mozilla beat MS for me as I haven't had the IE 9 update yet! Nice one Mozilla. :thumb:

    C'mon Micro$oft ... I only live about eight & a half thousand kilometres from California ... ;)

    i've been trying out FF4 all day and i think this is gonna be my new browser after being on Chrome for 2 years.

    for the past week we've been blessed with 3 great releases: IE9, Opera 11.10 and FF4 today.
    i tested all 3 extensively and FF4 seems to be the best of the bunch, *at the moment*.
    but it's very close and the competition has heated up.

    today, the browsers "scene" is a lot more exciting than it was 2 weeks ago! :)

    Add NoScript to the new addon bar, its sort of a status bar. Enable
    it in "toolbars", then add NoScript to the addon bar. You ll have NS
    exactly where it was before.

    Or
    Maybe you want to take a look at this addon. If you install it you ll
    have something like the old status bar.

    Yeah, Fx 4 is going to be a winner. I'm very impressed. I've just upgraded on my desktop now. :cool:
