revanmj Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 What did you Switch to? Google Chrome. Safari wasn't for me because I can't sync bookmarks for free between Windows and Mac OS X version. Opera on the other hand has some compatibility problems with some websites I often visit and it still doesn't have an AdBlock extensions with list subscription support.

You can always use Xmarks for synchronizing bookmarks and LastPass for paswords.

bogas04 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I don't use beta software no matter how stable it might be. Strange , how does it matter? The last RC will be the final version , so why care about the "label" ?

Guest mattburles Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 i guess another reason i wont update to the beta is because they keep making UI changes even tho its feature complete. are there any more cosmic changes coming in beta 11, 12, and rc? or is it just bug and crash fixes from here on out?

Kaoxt Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Does anyone know if fonts are still be affected with the nightlies even if you have hardware acceleration turned off? I'm on http://espn.go.com/ and when I go over a tab let's say in the black background menu and scroll over "NFL" I notice all of the other links such as "MLB" right next to it get noticeably thinner and look odd. Wondering if there is anything to do to fix this? Do not have this problem in Firefox v3.x or Chrome.

Udedenkz Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Here they are for those who are interested, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=blocking2%3Abeta%2Cfinal%20sw%3Ahard After updating to the latest nightly (02-06-11) gifs and flash make the browser too slow, using Chrome for now :/ There hasn't been any work on GIF performance as far as I can see considering I filed the bug on that. There is some Flash performance related stuff that should be landing soon, or at least it should fix black boxed around some flash objects. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/171/#findComment-593674228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilara1988 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well they said that after FF 4 is officially released they are moving to a shorter release cycle(like chrome or something if i remember right).I think that all the "release it already plsssssssss" ppl will be pleased by this.
