    Hey Antoine,

    You're keeping quiet these days. Must be to do with turning four-o πŸ˜‰

    LOL - yeah you right!;) I've been swamped with work and organizing a New Beetle show in Roswell, NM for this summer...so not much time to enjoy the forums and extra stuff.
    Had a couple days where I wasn't swamped and it has been nice checking out the forums again. πŸ’š

      I tried out FF RC2 recently and was disappointed to find some of my fave extensions were not compatible, but I guess they will be updated in time.
      In the end though I completely uninstalled it - something I thought I would never do as I was a confirmed FF addict. What put me off was not the new UI or anything but simply that in a direct comparison with Chrome to load the same website, one I visit quite often, it was unbelievably slow . Chrome had the site rendered in no time at all yet FF took ages. I know this was still just RC2 but it was near enough the finished version. I have been looking forward to FF4 for a while but have been disappointed with it`s performance. So Chrome it is for now.

          I installed it last night. Similar problems with incompatible add-ons, but so what. Opened it up... nothing, no internet connection. IE connected, Chrome connected, but not FF4! I tried rebooting. Nothing. I tried a suggestion I found online about proxy settings. Nothing.

            Well, maybe this is why FF4 is so fast!! Because it doesn't need internet connection πŸ’š everything you want is on localhost πŸ˜†

                          The easiest way to fix blurry fonts in Firefox 4 is to install the Anti-Aliasing Tuner add-on. From there, you should just be able to turn on ClearType rendering for all fonts and fix the problrem.

                          Have you tried this?

                            yup. I did the even easier fix.

                            use Firefox 3 or Chrome - which has hardware acceleration but no issues with simple font rendering.

                              No matter how I am trying to adjust the UI to my neeess, every time I restart FF 4 it reverts back to its default.

                              I am not going to spend 20 minutes every time to get my usual buttons and toolbars to their needed place.

                                It's not confusing: I was confused. FF4 in everyday use now and looking forward to the grouping capabilities.

                                  I don't like the new version. The newer, sleeker look seems to be simply a case of ditching most of the menu items and icons. Whatever happened to one-click Reload? And my search box has stopped working...at least the suggestions have...I have to type out the complete search term every time, even if it pops up as a suggestion, because clicking on the pop-ups does nothing at all. This is all very basic stuff which is totally screwed up. I may be switching to Chrome.

                                    You can customize the toolbar to get the reload back. I found it screwy, but eventually got something similar to previous. My search seems to be working fine.

                                      I just installed FF4 - nice appearance, but a little disappointed in loading time. I guess I was too used with Chrome. Other bad side is a lot of "not responding" ... if cpu is a little busy, FF gets unresponsive.
                                      I'll stick to Chrome for a while
