Whats your thoughts on it so far?

I like it much better,Its faster and i like how they have moved the Bookmarks to the right hand side of the screen.

Not had one issue with it yet. :)
 
Nice double post :P

I like it a lot! Much improved over the old versions!

Pros:
Faster web page speeds
Doesn't hang when loading pages
Streamlined menus

Cons:
Freezes for a few seconds when I first open it and load a page on my desktop

That's all I got so far haha
 
I like it also. Glad i was smart enough to backup first. everything was missing or at least all the pluggins and favorites. Used mozbackup first then installed then used mozbackup for a restore.

I didn't have that issue. Everything imported for me.

I don't like the UI. I like the current firefox one. Don't like the transparency either.

Whats the transparency part?. Actually everything looks the same from what i see. Starting up faster? i can't tell. I have fast fiber optics anyway. Everything looks exactly the same on my end.
 
The transparency is at the top,I quite like it :)

This new version is quite a bit faster on my end.

My Firefox hangs for like 5 seconds, just after I switvh it on.

Also does the same thing when opening a new tab.

Mine does the exact same thing...I have noticed Firefox getting slower and slower all the time. I tried the 4.0 beta and really like it...very quick and responsive. Nice look and feel also.

I'm not going to 4.0 yet. I usually wait a while to see if there are any major issues. Though a keep a folder of older versions so I can revert if I need to or want to. It looks like a bigger change than I've seen them do to their browser in awhile, looks nice.
 
does yours do the flash crash, for example when i open two youtube videos, let them both load, play one, but when i switch to the other tab to watch the other one, it crashes, hope they will fix that!!! no flashes problem since Chrome works fine!

I'm with you on that. Looks too much like Chrome, and frankly the tabs at the top irk me in all the wrong ways.

The suggestion bit (firefox made me happy/sad because) was certainly cute though.
 
FF 4b7 rocks! I hope they speed up program launch time, though. It's significantly fated than 3.6, but I'd personally like an instant-start browser, probabbly because I'm used to Chrome.
