FF 4.0 final released
    #14163555 - 03/22/11 08:44 AM (12 years, 11 months ago)

Firefox 4.0 was released today.



I like it. It does seem a little faster to me, both in initial loading and browsing.

Although I went to a couple webgl demo sites and it says 'browser does not support WebGL' which I thought 4 does out of the box.

You can go to about:support to see if the various hardware acceleration features are enabled. Due to various compatibility problems there are a number of drivers which are blacklisted, although like it says on that page, you could try going to about:config and setting webgl.force-enabled=true.

I don't get any hardware acceleration with my six year old laptop, but FF4 does run SunSpider even faster than Chrome on my system. :cool:

Damn fine browser, though architecturally a bit behind the times when compared to Chrome and IE9.  That'll change hopefully in the not too distant future with their faster update schedule.

I set webgl.force-enabled to true, no luck. And my laptop is about six years old also, so I guess my hardware just doesn't support this.

I am trying to find this for my Mac, I wonder where it would be?

Everything about this new version seems improved. I haven't done a lot testing just yet, but the speeds feels a lot like Chrome.

Hate it. Slow and bloated. My two favorites addons no longer work with it and I am switching to Google Chrome.

Firefox was great for awhile but it lags behind the times now and has been overtaken in several areas.

meh.. i thought it felt a little quicker than 3.x.

ive been switching back and forth between FF and Conkeror recently though. Conkeror is a very fast browser modeled after the Emacs text editor.
