OK, so I gave in and downloaded it to a test machine (not this one for testing).
Seems to be MUCH faster. Not sure I like the layout. Kinda wish they had allowed us to fit the version 4 code into the version 3.x gui...
Comments? Tricks? Anybody find any nuggets here?
Dude, that was too simple. Thanks for making me feel like a moron for not finding that first! :-)
I have found that it gets real slow too quickly & that there seems to be a memory leak.
Whoa!!!
That “Customize” is pretty powerful! I was able to drag the refresh button, the home button, the forward/back button, the stop loading button, and the Yahoo search box to the very top line (the line with File Edit History... etc.
Much nicer!!!
Then right-click on the FF3 toolbar and unchecked the RoboForm Toolbar.
You can also run it from the system tray.
For right-click menu open RoboForm Options, select Context menu and check the box for each command you want on the Context Menu.
For System Tray select Options/General and check "Show RoboForm Icon in Tray"
Do you know how to view adobe flash videos when using Firefox 4. The is an FReeper thread that has a link to a Newsbusters video about Howard Dean. But when I go to newsbusters the video is totally black with no way to play it. In IE imbedded youtube video shows up fine and will play. When in Firefox 4 and I click on a youtube music video I have bookmarked it plays fine.
Love it!
Flash videos will not work on my machine either running FF4. It also killed my IE tab rendering engine. On some pages I need to copy the link and open Google (commie) Chrome to get them to work. It would be great if FF came out with a way to check if all your Extensions and Plug-ins etc. would work with the new version before you downloaded and installed it. On several occasions I have had to “downgrade” to an older version because a feature I depended on no longer worked on the new and “improved” version that came out. 4 does not seem to be a whole lot faster and in the last week it has crashed on me 3 or 4 times. Sometimes it recovered the tabs I was on and sometimes not. It looks like I may have jumped in too soon on this new version again.
