Re: [update] Firefox 4 Release Candidate 1 now available
Hi joglynne
I think you'll be safe to use Firefox RC. 
I'm running Beta 12 on Ubuntu without problem. 
You've still got Firefox-3.6.15 installed to fall back on. 
In a few weeks when Firefox-4 is released it will be OK to do a permanent install and then maybe un-install Firefox-3.6.15.

Re: [update] Firefox 4 Release Candidate 1 now available
Cheers again Ronald. I have been determined this time to try out each new development as previously I have just posted the links to each new beta so that the more adventurous members could try them out. I have even taken part in the Test Pilot studies so I would like to carry on with the release candidate if only to prove to myself I had the nerve.  I guess getting the hang of unbuntu has shaken my flaky confidence So I shall have a stiff G & T and go ahead and install it. ....... Tomorrow.

Re: [Update] Mozilla Foundation releases Firefox 4
Upgraded, then had to hammer Google to find a page where I could get 3.6 to immediately downgrade again.
Mac users: You need something better than OSX 10.4 in order to run Firefox 4, a fact that is very, very deeply buried (in fact I have yet to find anywhere they state system requirements for Mac or PC). It could require either 10.5 or 10.6 as a minimum ... there seems to be no way of knowing, without downloading it and trying.

Re: [Update] Mozilla Foundation releases Firefox 4
I have reverted to Firefox 3.6.16 as 4 is a joke.

Re: [Update] Mozilla Foundation releases Firefox 4
I quite like it as they have definitely speeded it up, they've finally (like IE9) got rid of a lot of junk off the screen and it works fine with all my websites..
The KLM issue (which works fine in IE9) is probably a case of a non-compliant site more than an issue with FF4

Re: [Update] Mozilla Foundation releases Firefox 4
Apart from the issue of not being able to use the hardware acceleration, which is not a problem for me, I like FF4. Like what has been said, a lot. of stuff has been cleaned out to make it look a lot like opera and it is a lot faster
