What's everyones thoughts on the new Firefox skin and tabs on top seeing it has been out a while now?

I've hated the old default skin for years and finally i can use this as i'm loving it. :)

seems fine on my laptop might put it on the desktop next

I had to show the menubar (I put bookmarks on it, and I do use it) but I do love the new interface and everything about it seems to be much more sleek. I didn't think firefox could get much better; but it has.

Hi
I've got Firefox 4 beta installed (as well as v3.6.8) with Ubuntu.
They haven't changed the interface yet for the Linux version. It still looks the same.

Hi
One of the improvements with Firefox 4 is the ability to handle the new WebM format.
It's true.
Firefox 4.0 Beta 2 will play these files and Firefox 3.6.8 won't.

With Firefox use File > Open File...
There's a sample file attached to try.

These files are also playable with the current version of VLC media player.
I think that these files are also supported with Opera and Chrome browsers too.

This is Firefox 4

I can't upload the sample file.
They are available to download from here:-http://www.webmfiles.org/demo-files/

This build seems faster than the last 1 for me, not that it was slow before though.

Agree with you SnoopZ, one thing i dislike and i`m not sure anything can be done about it :erm: is the top is to opaque and you can see your desktop items through it (looks worse with tabs on top). No biggy just a minor dislike...

Also AddBlock Plus isn`t working in this release yet (Vladimir is on hols), you can use a workaround but i can wait/put up with adds for a bit ;)

Re: [update] Firefox 4 Beta 3
 

I've not tried blocking Ads on new sites but on sites i already had blocked are still blocked.

I think tabs ontop is looks awesome in Firefox and i can't see myself having them below ever again.

Re: [update] Firefox 4 Beta 3
 

Gone back to 3.6.x too often FF stopped responding.

Re: [update] Firefox 4 Beta 3
 

I've never once had an issue with firefox 4 on either of my pcs, maybe it was a dodgy plugin you have?

Re: [update] Firefox 4 Beta 3
 

Was this on heavy flash pages alferret? Stupid flash :rolleyes:

There does seem to be a slight issue affecting some people on certain sites, iv`e had it happen a couple of times but it normally recovered pretty quick...

I think the browser market has really taken off lately and all the major players seem to be upping their game, even the new Internet Explorer 9 which Beta`s in September looks to be a vast improvement.

Re: [update] Firefox 4 Beta 3
 

With Firefox 4 Beta 4 being released on Monday here`s a cool feature that is in the next release. It`s called Tab Sets which basically is a way of grouping your open tabs into sections/categories so you can just access the ones you wan`t/need and don`t have to have all the tabs showing at the same time.

In the picture i had 3 tabs open for Neowin, 3 for cable forum and 2 which where looking at monitors. If you click on one of the tab sets just that set of tabs comes. It`s a pretty nifty feature which i can see being useful if your looking at several different things at once.

If you try the next Beta give it a whirl ;)
