Firefox 4 Clocks Over Six Million Downloads in First 24 Hours

theubersmurf · Mar 23, 2011

When I right click, and tell it to open in a new tab, it works, however if I simply click the link, I get something a URL that includes mail.google.com...weird.

I'm using gmail...The emails aren't downloaded here, they're on google's servers.

I didn't assume they were downloaded.

No idea what the problem is, could be gmail jibbing out or firefox :S

^that is so cool, it's like Futuremark ORB map, but updates downloaders' locations and download count in realtime.

What's more awesome is the statistics page (bottom left corner).

Probably the most productive HTML5 application I've seen so far.

just found a good one searched it and apparently they already know flicking minimize button. freaked me out lol other than that its alright. Not seeing that big a diff in permformance tho.

I stoped using orbit downloader tho at least the plugin part of it cause that never worked for firefox. Grab it does tho.

I tried it again today and I still think Chrome is better in pretty much every way possible. The only thing Firefox is better at, is customization.
Pretty disappointed, used to love Firefox.

The refresh button needs to be on the left side of the toolbar, near my most used tabs, or have one put on every tab. I can't frigging stand having to go to the opposite side of the lousy browser to hit the one button I use all the goddamn time. Browsing is soooo slow this way. And the pinned tabs don't refresh when you start firefox. They just resume some kind of previous state, which is fucking useless. What good is a newspage or google homepage pinned tab if every time you open firefox it doesn't refresh the page? Might as well make it a goddamn regular tab, that way I can actually pick the icon. I can't believe it, I have loved firefox since before it was even popular and now they ruin everything for me. Great.

Like I said in a previous post you can freely customize it. Right click on it, choose "customize..." then just drag the button to where you want it. Like I'm doing here:

My other hand usually has a writing implement in it.

Maybe I should reinstall it?

n-ster · Mar 23, 2011

refresh button is the X button. (stop button)

sorry I didn't understand what you didn't get in my previous post (that I delleted cuz it made me look dumb lol)

As you can see, after it is done loading, it becomes the refresh button again

At least all my addons work with FF 4.

erixx · Mar 24, 2011

I have no time to check whatever old/new features, please somebody make a proper review. IE9 is blowing my mind, but I still use Opera

Just realized all the fonts were blurry. Disabled HW accel and the fonts are back to normal.

Unfortunately my Atom + ION system seemed much faster with HW accel on. Its running a 1080P screen.

Oh well, I'll look at HW accel again once they fix the blurry fonts.

its tied into video drivers, IE9 gets it as well. we need driver updates.

Interestingly, When I get a subscription notification from tpu, under ff4 the links don't direct to the page...I'm wondering where the problem is.

i had some weird issues where it'd take me to the wrong page of a thread, logging in and out of TPU+GN solved it.

If you have Blurry Text on AMD 5K or 6K Series cards turn off "Morphological Filtering" in the Gaming Tab in CCC
