rajncajn Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Anybody got it yet? I hear there's no cure. Edited March 24, 2011 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) I hear there's no cure. Been fiddling with it for half an hour or so and it looks to me like they've shuffled most of it around for the sake of it. I've fixed the dreadful "tabs on top" thing but I'm still looking for the Apps bar they plugged so heavily. Edit: Figured out the App Tab thing. Pretty cool.

Double Agent Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Is it official? I had the beta a few weeks ago. It was ok. Don't like change just for the sake of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 My "Open New Tab" tab has disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosberg34 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Still getting used to the tabs on top but I do like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Still getting used to the tabs on top but I do like it. Go to "view", then "toolbars", and uncheck the "tabs on top" menu item....this moves them back to the normal/original spot.

rajncajn Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm going to give it a try. My biggest concern is Firefox getting too big for it's britches and end up being a worse browser than IE just for the sake of being different. Features are nice, but fast & simple can be much nicer when my work PC is a prehistoric slug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox 4 is, for me, about 3x faster than the last Firefox browser I had. Lightning fast, even with3 App Tabs pinned and various add-ons enabled. Awesome.

rocknrobn26 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The only complaint I have w/ all versions has been the way it eats memory. I have seen it as high as 700K. I usually have to shut it down and re-start it 2-3x per day. Does FF4 resolve that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Don't like it already. Finished the install and now it won't open. When I try to open it I get a message that the PC needs to be rebooted. I've done that twice now & it still won't let me open it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Now it won't let me do anything with it until a reboot.Can't reinstall, can't uninstall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Now it won't let me do anything with it until a reboot.Can't reinstall, can't uninstall. Do a total uninstall. Then either try again or D/L and install 3.6xx. ETA: I assume you still have IE and it works. Edited March 24, 2011 by rocknrobn26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried doing an uninstall through the control panel, but it tells me I have to complete the upgrade by rebooting before it will let me. Still have IE & it works. I posted something in the FF support forum, though I doubt I get a response. Edited March 24, 2011 by rajncajn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure no Firefox stuff is running. Next: Go to "Program Files" on your 'C' Drive, open "Mozilla Firefox" folder and then open the "Uninstall" folder. Run the "helper.exe". That should do it. If not the only other thing would be to try it in 'Safe Mode', or as a last resort do a "System Restore". Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you want to reboot now?" Can't do a system restore since it's my work PC and I don't have admin rights. I wanted to avoid having to involve IT, but it looks like I have no choice now.

Yeah...I thought about that, but I really hate doing it as it mucks up the registry. But then again w/ the reinstall, the Reg may not know the difference.

Big F'n Dave Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Just downloaded it. No problems. Kinda looks like Chrome on my Mac. Much faster than 3.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_am_the_swammi Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Edit: Figured out the App Tab thing. Pretty cool. I had it figured out, too....then I closed my browser, came back to it a couple hours later, and they are gone...and I can't get them back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are supposed to stick after a browser restart but mine don't. The tab groups thing sucks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
