Firefox Update!

Hot on the heels of the IE9 update, Mozilla Firefox has updated to Version 4.

This is a major update, and is suggested for all firefox users. I personally suggest updating because it makes having lots of tabs open go way faster, and also has far more support for advanced HTML5 and CSS3 options which we would like to use in the future to make Subeta awesome.

Zucni @

For the people who don't like the tabs on top (like me :D) Just right click the toolbar and uncheck "tabs on top"
Or View menu -> Toolbars -> then uncheck tabs on top. Back to normal :)

Ringo @

It'll take some getting use to but I'll manage. ^_^ The add on Status-4-Evar fixes the weird pop-up link issues. A lot of other things can be changed under options.

I use chrome, but after the latest work on the site...browsing on Subeta is slower than ever :(

chrome works best :)

Moonbeam @

I miss the "save and quit" option from FF 3. If anyone knows how to get that, comment me please.

Oasis @

Thanks for letting us know! I just hope most of my favorite add-ons will work. :)

InkDragon @

I'll be waiting until my add-ons are compatible with 4.

I still use Firefox and I still like it --thanks for the news about the update for it. I tried Chrome but it didnt work well with some of my other favorite sites I use frequently. Thanks very much Keith for letting us know about this.

Chrome is the way to go! :D

anagram @

Psh, skip the IE and Firefox and go for Chrome! :D

Lantern @

Hmm, the only thing I don't like is the little bar at the bottom that displays the address when you hover/click on a link D: It pops up into the window and distracts me.

Right click blank space in firefox bar/interface, uncheck "tabs on top". Enjoy.

hielokirby @

Ugh, I hate this new Firefox for one reason only, my scroll on my touch pad doesn't work anymore. It works on everything but Firefox. It's really hard to live without it. =[

0

TheJ @

Hmm. I'm really digging the new look of FF.
But hate where the tabs are now. Gonna take just a few extra seconds to finish each quest. T_T

Lantern @

And my color tabs died. But yeah for updates!

Laura @

did anyone else have to disable hardware acceleration? the text was all smudged and harder to read.

0

Mandy @

Got it and I really like it, just going to take some getting used to!

enid @

@Seance

The Bookmarks/saved stuff transfers over.
...the layout is all different though.

0

Laura @

@Seance - yes, mine did :)

0

Jessica @

Firefox is messed up for me. I don't like it. Chrome ftw.

0

seance_255 @

Does anyone know if all the bookmarks/settings/saved passwords/etc. will transfer over from FF v.3 to FF v.4?

0

what @

Will check it out C:

mini @

I'm actually loving the upgrade. I already know I'll be abusing the app tab function.
Only one out of all my add-ons didn't make it through, but that one is solely for laziness reasons. XD

0

Tucker @

I think I'll wait to update. This way hopefully by the time firefox keeps pestering me to update all my ad-ons should work with it and any of the kinks that showed up should be worked out.

Arya_784 @

Oooo, very spiffy! I like the new layout, and can't wait to give it a good test-drive ;)

0

Fashionista @

Got it! I like the tabs as they are all smooth and sleek. And I kept the skin I was using! :D

0

Wolfism @

Ooh, its a very nice improvement! ^_^

Chamomile @

i love the new firefox, it's much better, easier to use, faster, and i like how i can have more tab's open, and it does not slow down as much. and it's much faster overall.

0

JENNEEVA @

Really love the new Firefox, it's just going to take time to get use to! I like how it's less cluttered :) Thanks for the note!

0

Trendy @

Wow looks pretty spiffy.

0

Saturnine @

Looks pretty...still a tad slow, but I like the tabs change.

0

ROCK @

I love it :D I've been rocking all the betas and Release Candidates, but I am SO GLAD that they finally released it so that hopefully the people who work with my add-ons will update them :D
Until then, I am just going to stay in love with the tab grouping that makes it so I can hide subeta while at work :D

0

Raynn @

Well it doesnt make for easy buying in the shops at all.. you cant just tab into the shop price to buy somerthing.. takes about 8 tabs in until you get to the shop pricing window

0

Zucni @

Nice

I've noticed an improvement some page loading but not a lot. I've also noticed a few bits of CSS that were wonky before now look nice :3

0

Deathscythe @

It's very streamline now...though I wish my add ons were compatible...

0

Betelgeuze @

Thanks for the info, but I still prefer Chome ;) It's much faster and considering I have to use 3GS on my laptop the downloading speed difference really is visible ;)

0

WAVVES @

Fuck yeah.

0

Rei_106 @

I'm updating Firefox as I type this! :o

0

StarChaserRansom @

@Gracie2484 Really, I've noticed a big improvement in my speed.

0

Eivor @

Hello, new Firefox, I think I luuuuvvv yew~

0

Gracie2484 @

However it doesn't seem to be any faster at all :(

0

Damon @

Ack.... crap this is gonna take some getting used to....

0

Zucni @

Update time!

0

StarChaserRansom @

Team Firefox!

0

Gracie2484 @

@Unwritten_One thanks so much for that info my tabs are back to normal and not on top :)

0

ARU @

Eh, don't like the new update. It looks too much like chrome for my tastes, and having tabs on top isn't really my thing. Keeping 3, for now.

0

Paddy @

@Pretty Yep, noscript and adblocker plus both work the new version (I disabled the acceleration and that fixed the messy font rendering :D)

0

JaguarGal @

Seems a lot like Chrome, really. Oooooh, an app bar o3o *grabby hands*

And yay, CSS! As long as we're not spamming this site with Flash like everything else, 'woooo~' Yay for more awesomeness <3

0

Symmetra @

Not making the switch until it's necessary. Hopefully they'll let us know when we absolutely NEED to switch for subeta to work properly. I don't usually have issues with tabs loading and shit, so really don't see the point.

0

FabulousViolet @

oops nvrmnd:) the + at the end = new tab..hehhe eeeppp:D

0

FabulousViolet @

well my tabs WERE on top b4, now though there is no little click spot to open another tab....have to go to file..:(...but will check out the speed etc soon.

0

kirigiri_382 @

It sure is different, but it is better! The taps are going faster c;

0

Chef @

You can change the location of the tabs by right clicking in an empty space next to them and unchecking 'Tabs on top'.

It will take some getting used to, but I like it. I will like it even better when Colorful Tabs is compatible with it though.:)

0

Evy @

Will take some getting used to with the tabs waaaaay up there, but I looks tidy. :)
Thank you for the notification about the update, much appreciated!

0

cazarell @

It's super different, but I kind of like it. It's definitely going faster for me. It'll take a little getting used to, but I think I'm going to be glad I updated. :)

0

Pretty_935 @

Are the NoScript & AdBlocker Plus ad-ons working on the new version yet?

0

Jodie @

/shrug. I love it, it looks much sleeker and it makes my webpage bigger because it eliminates a lot of the useless space in the top bar, and I'm all about making things look prettier aha. Thanks for the reminder! Now to wait for my other add-ons to catch up to 4.0! I miss Stylish xD

0

Me-Guru @

Since downloading it, it is worse now than it was prior to it ~ :( ~

0

Melody @

Thank you for posting this! I use Chrome myself but it is always nice to know these sort of things. ^_^

0

StarShadow @

Doesn't sound like a lot of people like the update. I'm always hesitant on updates of any kind because in my experience they usually mess things up on my computer, so I don't update unless necessary.

0

michelepeele @

takes way too much of my stuff away went back to the previous version. Have to have my norton toolbar and it will not work with the new version

0

SailorGundam06 @

Chrome and IE still both load faster than FireFox for me. My computer at home just can't start Firefox in a timely manner, and it's just not impressive enough to make me want to wait for it to hog down my system resources.

0

KaziRede @

The tabs on top, which will take some getting use to, but otherwise it looks organized. Yay :3

0

Nail @

updated! kinda peeved that a lot of my addons aren't compatible with it. but.. it is faster, so i'll cope. :K mind you it was already fast for me.
still better than chrome.

Firefox is overrated.

* I hope mine doesn't automatically get updated. D=

EWWWW, it's so ugly.. do not want! D:
I hope they don't automatically update mine. >__>

0

Paddy @

Thanks for the info, but I'm sticking with my older version of FF until they fix the font rendering issues that FF4 (and IE9 :( ) have

0

Follywood @

omg i love the new firefox, I might actually switch over from chrome now

0

Rainey @

I use Google Chrome. I find it is faster and more user friendly. Frefox lags for me

0

DarkVixen28 @

....Looks like Chrome now....

Firefox has a habit of killing my computer :/ I'll stick with Chrome for now

0

Seerow @

And it was really easy to move them, whoot! Still seem to be missing something at the top, but I'm sure I'll get used to it :)

0

Prizzly @

@Seerow;
right mouse button on near the tabs, than you should see an option
about those tabs
(Im sorry this is all I could tell you; I got the Dutch version and idk how its called in English)

0

Prizzly @

looks like Opera now :P

0

Seerow @

Ohh wow I really don't like Tabs being on top of everything else! *Goes to find a way to fix that*
