Get FireFox 4 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
everything you want is on localhost

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.

Ooh - now I can make a group for Sketchucation, Twilight and Thea! Nice tip.
Speed Dial plugin does grouping on steroids.
I've been a FireFox user "forever", but my initial impression of 4.0 is: it's confusing
UPDATE
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.
-
Alan,
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
