Tried to search for a thread but couldnt find one. If there is one, apologies.
Anyone tried this out. Looks neat so far but haven't done much testing.
Its abit sluggish when doing the window cascading like opera did back in teh day.

I'm not surprised. Vista was supposed to have Aero so Windows could sort of look as nice as Enlightenment can on a 433 MHz Celeron with 5 times the requirements. ;)
hmm it has sync - way to step up with Chrome :)
Who needs Xmarks now. I want my $20 back from them!
I have been fiddling with this beta on & off for the last 2 months or so. Once you mess around with the about:config and enable/disable a few things it's fairly snappy and 1 can notice a few improvements.
But i still prefer my ie7. :D
well tbh im totally unimpressed. the whole graphic accelerator thing is not going well (i think they leeched it from Opera) - far too sluggish. The sync doesnt seem to work, might be me though.
Dammit , can no one make a decent browser :(
I have really only tested it to see.
1. Does it work on older equipment.
2. Does it start and shutdown reasonably quickly.
3. Does it do what I want to do reasonably quickly.
4. Does it conflict with other stuff I am running.
So far it seems OK and I would have no worries about installing the production version. I am still a little cautious about FF updates since my experiences with 3.1 and 3.2 ................ like 10 minutes to load!!!! and I wasn't the only one with the same experience.
Aero? ............. what am I suposed to be looking at, as I cannot see any difference between Vista with Aero and XP Pro without? Could be my monitors aren't up to it (they are not mentioned in the specs) or maybe I just don't do the things that Aero is supposed to be for.
The reason why the themes look like dog poo-poo is because the folks from gnome probably designed them. Classic/NT theme, FOR THE FRIGGIN' WIN!
Any browser that takes more that five seconds to load a webpage should be uninstalled without question. Firefox is a sucky sucktastic bag of crap.
If that is consistent performance then I agree entirely, although I am sure we have all visited sites that were running slow because of problems at the webserver end?Quote:

What I was actually referring to was the time it took the browser to load onto the desktop from when you first kicked it off, and before you went on the internet.
Well, I have IE8, FF3.6, Opera, and Chrome; but as I only surf pr0n, I haven't really noticed any difference between them :p:D:lildevil::cool:Quote:

any 1 else getting issue's with the new ff4.0b6 ?
every now and again it's giving me 404 or server not found frankly it's really starting to peeve me off.
even though it's a beta i would still expect for it to at least let me view pr0n sites. :D
We should ban anymore Firefox thread's.
& JPnyc should add "Opera" to the word censor. Such a diiiirty word dat is... :DQuote:

If you like Firefox, or the idea of it, but have started to realize it's a load of ****, why not just get Seamonkey? That's what I use when I want something like that.... It's based on the same code for the most part... Or at least from what I've seen... The main difference is that it's about 100 times more stable, and takes WAY less resources. Oh and it looks nicer and has a better Email Client that doesn't need a ****ing gig of RAM to work.
Actually Allen, i have it installed as i like to use it everynow and again to see & feel how this beta version of firefox is going, I regularly use Chrome also as i like to see how There development of that browser is doing also.Quote:

I've used seamonkey in the past i agree it is a nice browser once setup & configured to your needs.
Personally i prefer internet explorer 7 it works with my custom applications and it allows me to use "Addons" flash and adblocking is available. It just works and enables me to do the task's i require to do.
i suprisignly have not had much ie9 beta use, i am not sure on the interface i feel they have tried to mimik chrome to much and it's a complete hassle to change the interface up to get things were i like.
:)
I don't use Chrome. My wife LOVES it, and you'll be Happy to know that I listen to, at least once a day "YOU should use Chrome! No it's better than Opera.... Yes it is!.... Oh that was mean!"... I have these installed for Windows:
Opera - Seamonkey - And whatever IE comes with Windows 7 after you've installed all the security patches and so on. I Honestly don't know what it is, but it does seem to work OK when I've used it. Which wasn't much.
I just got some new ones on Debian. The first thing I did after install was add the Opera Debian Repository to the sources.list file, and then add it to my installation. But these new ones are awesome although a little minimalistic in a way; Like Conky and so on. I'll have to look at which ones I added, I've never seen them before, and only Debian seems to have them.
Has she signed up for that rocketmelt browser beta test? The guys whom founded and started Netscape have made a fork from the chrome browser. It's more social networking related.

My Debian boxen has been offline for the last few months now. Had constant hardware failure and i haven't had the time to strip it down and do some testing as of yet.
have been toying with Gentoo on my Playstation3, finally got my keyboard and mouse in the mail from the US so i've been spending waaay to much time messing with that as of late.
