1189517 2011-03-26 03:49:00 I would be interested in members early impressions of Firefox 4.0.
Personally I'm distinctly underwhelmed.
Irrespective of their benchmarking, in the day to day real world that I experience, I really do not notice any increase in browsing or download speed.
I can however say that several of my much cherished extensions do not work presumably since they have not as yet been updated by their authors but sadly even several of those that are supposed to be compatible with Firefox 4.0 do not work either. :(

1189520 2011-03-27 07:31:00 So far FF4 has worked well for me it's definitely faster and have had no problems, 9 out of ten extensions work.....:clap GMQ (16134)

1189523 2011-03-27 19:15:00 Ditto. But I have been running Minefield for months so didn't notice any changes!

Even Minefield was totally stable here.

Some were complaining about no status bar. Look at the top of the tab while a page is loading.

You can put the addon bar at the bottom too

As for losing bookmarks, thats what xmarks is for.
FF4 is all good here
