[QUOTE=Spartan8907;23165431]Well, it seems FF is finally catching up again. But its still not enough to persuade me back to it from Chrome. One thing that really is stopping me is Chrome's tabs are at the very top by default. With FF theres still some unused wasted space and that extra space just totally ruins my browser experience. I know its a relatively small thing, but it really bugs me. 4.0 seems to have changed that a bit but tabs at the very top just makes so much sense to me.

[QUOTE=Justice;23166079]Artificial benchmarks :allears: Chrome's speed is a placebo effect. The only speed gain I saw when I compared it to Firefox was the startup time on a cold boot. Afterwards, they were pretty much exactly the same with nothing noticeable to me.[/QUOTE] Here we go. By the way you call it a placebo and then said there was a difference?
[QUOTE=Justice;23166125]Someone had to do it.[/QUOTE] Someone had to contradict themselves? I guess so. Doesn't make you look smart though. It makes you look kind of stupid to just shoot down evidence that your favorite browser isn't as fast as it's made out to be. It's fanboyism. Which is stupid.

Looks awesome in Windows classic grey. [img]http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll87/Demache/prentius.png[/img]
looks bad man
They're trying too hard to look like Chrome. This switch is just going to be confusing for a lot of Firefox owners, since all the menus and features that were easy to find in previous versions have disappeared. They already made some of the UI different and more confusing with the 3.5 update so why should we upgrade to this shit? It's times like these that make me wish I knew where to find the old 3.0.x installations. This is what I hate about Firefox. They're slowly ruining everything. Too bad they can't go back to 2008 and start over with 3.0. They could've kicked Chrome's ass while they still could and not introduce shitty updates.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmgtW2Iw-kE[/media] Makes more sense from a design and UI standpoint to have the tabs on top. I'll have to wait like the rest of the world for FF4 though :c. I [I]need[/I] my addons sadly. They should change that new addon pane back though, it's fuckugly.
Is it just me or does it cover the taskbar(when set to auto-hide)?
what will happen to my Personas?
[QUOTE=coco911231;23167803]what will happen to my Personas?[/QUOTE] They still work.
[QUOTE=Computermaster;23167849]They still work.[/QUOTE] Oh goodie.
Chrome still doesn't have Adblock Plus. No matter how hard their adblock program is trying, I still get annoying ads while I see zero with ABP. Speed was never too big of an importance to me but the speed increase is noticeable with 4.0.
God it looks like shit. It looks like a mix bethween Chrome and Internet Explorer. :doh: Guess i'm just too old fashing for these new themes, and I prefer the old and boring looking.

It IS a beta too, so this is obviously not the final version... If they stick to the original mockups and make it look like the images most of the community loved, then they'll do great. Otherwise, who knows -shrugs-
I hate tabs on top.
I like them.
[QUOTE=GammaFive;23169469]I hate tabs on top.[/QUOTE] disable it then. right click in one of your toolbars and click "tabs on top"
I like 4.0.
All i want is Complete aero.
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;23170253]All i want is Complete aero.[/QUOTE] only thing not aero here is the scrollbar and status bar, it would be too much of a pain in the ass to get the scrollbar done but status bar should be fairly easy.
Heh, The reason default isn't working is because I'm not using aero. And why didn't I figure that out five hours ago?

Right click top area, make tabs go back below address bar, then you can stop complaining :colbert: Also, install this for all your addon needs [url]https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003/[/url]
[QUOTE=Computermaster;23169509]I like them.[/QUOTE] I love them. Also, I'm posting from Minefield (Firefox beta) and it doesn't allow any extensions either. Wait for the stable.
Meh I'll keep 3.6 in till they stop updating it, And no it's not that i don't like change, I just don't like this change it's way too much like Google Chrome.
