I find it interesting that the Firefox web page says:

"At this time many Add-ons may not yet have been tested by their authors to ensure that they are compatible with this release."

.. yet we don't hear about that latest buzz word .. fragmentation. ]]>Jul 6th 2010 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/
i dont see the close/min/max button on the right top corner
using 64 bit win 7.
anyone facing the same issue?]]>Jul 6th 2010 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/
I really do not care if they copied each other or not, but if it means more consistent UI across browsers, it's great!

FF4 feels pretty smooth on OSX though there's not as radical a change as the Windows version has. The buttons for Home, Refresh, Forward have been tweaked a bit. Other than the feedback button (which I assume will go away with the final release) and the bookmarks management button, which is now to the right of the search box, there's not much change as far as the UI goes, for OSX.

Overall, it seemed pretty stable and fast during general browsing for a while. ]]>Jul 6th 2010 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 6th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 6th 2010 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 6th 2010 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Running smooth here also, but I don't have any potatos to compare speeds.]]>Jul 6th 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Opera's UI might not always make the most sense (that stupid tab gap as default is pretty wack) but it's definitely original.]]>Jul 6th 2010 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 6th 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 6th 2010 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/

Is it just me, or does this new Firefox look quite a bit like Chrome?]]>Jul 6th 2010 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 6th 2010 7:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 6th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/

That post is overly focused on 1 tiny UI element. Mozilla had similar mock ups months before that.

This is an article from July '09 showing the mockup;

I'm not saying they aren't better, but that isn't even a good comparison. Chrome is faster than Firefox, but Chrome also doesn't have my NoScript Add-on so I don't use it. It doesn't have an add-on to customize the tabs near to what I have for Firefox. It may be faster but the reasoning could be because it lacks the features that Firefox has.]]>Jul 6th 2010 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Canvas performance on Linux is very impressive too !
Tested with MS http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/

Basically on my machine, everything runs at 60FPS at maximum settings except FishIE Tank with 1000 fishes (33fps) at with a 1920x1200 desktop.

Great :)
Positively impressed :)]]>Jul 6th 2010 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/
Chrome doesn't need a NoScript add-on, because it has equivalent functionality built in. Ditto CookieSafe, Firebug and Web Developer. That's why I switched to Chrome--no need to load it down with 4 or more add-ons just to get basic security and development tools.]]>Jul 6th 2010 9:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.macslice.info/2010/06/29/firefox-4-beta-live-now/]]>Jul 7th 2010 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 7th 2010 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 7th 2010 12:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/Jul 7th 2010 1:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/06/firefox-4-beta-1-now-available-for-download/
