Soon after Microsoft officially released IE9, Mozilla also made a major release with Firefox 4. Within a day, FF4 doubled IE9’s downloads at 7 million. Bus is that enough?
I downloaded FF4 a week ago on my Mac and then on my PC a few days ago when I got back.
The new FF4, while better in the back-end and a few more, did not have that very obvious face-lift compared to the previous version (the way IE9 had changed compared to IE8).
So I’ll just throw the question to those who have been using FF a lot — is it really better, is it faster, and what’s the coolest new additions you liked best?
FF4 looks like chrome… rip off interface

I’m a Microsoft employee but I use FF4. Love the new look and speed. ^_^
It’s definitely faster.
Firefox is faster than its predecessor but very slow compared to the chrome, from start up to loading and rendering of pages..
Downloading and installing Mozilla Firefox 4 wasn’t a mistake!
I feel Safari-ish when I saw the UI, but still lagging when I tried to play a game here:

Try it yourself!
I love FireFox 4: http://www.starmarsonline.com/2011/03/firefox-4/
hehe
Its the fastest browser right now…
FF4 looks and feels like a poor man’s Chrome. Nice try Mozilla.
FF4 really seems faster than Chrome and IE9, but because it isn’t compatible yet with the plugins that I use for my work, I had to revert it to FF3.6. However, I am using IE9 now for my regular surfing.
firefox4.0 in windows 7 is faster than firefox4.0 snow leopard.
Ever heard of PaleMoon? :-D
Definitely better. Faster and less of a resource hog. In the office, the terminal I use runs XP. Firefox 3 and other previous versions hogs a lot of RAM after a while. Memory leak issues. Now with version 4, it is definitely faster. I also like the new interface.
I would have gone with Chrome a long time ago if it weren’t for some of the plugins/addons I use. Glad to see that this version is definitely an improvement. The best feature I like with this is Firefox sync. Now, I can access my tabs, history, bookmarks from my office PC anywhere, even on my Android phone, as long as you have Firefox mobile installed. :)
