Firefox 4.0.1
Has anyone tried Firefox 4.0.1 yet? It claims to be much faster than previous version, but I disagree.
I downloaded it yesterday, and wished I hadn`t bothered. It is much slower than previous versions, and in my opinion, is far inferior.
I`m back to v 3.6.17, and am happy again. :D

Whatever the "option" is, they can keep it. I`m normally a FF fan, but I plan to stick to the tried and tested version like you Mikee.UBT - Mikee wrote:Tried it a couple of days after it came out. I found it too slow as well and uninstalled it. Found out later that there's an option hidden deep down which causes the slowness. Didn't bother re-installing to find out though!

Call me Mr. Picky if you like, but I don`t much care for Chrome either.UBT - The Prof.... wrote:Now running Chrome.

I agree with Mikee, it`s FF v 3.6.17 for me too.
Nobody's mentioned Opera, so I'll throw this in. I've got Firefox, IE and Opera on 3 different machines. I find Opera to be the most reliable, although it has a problem running a couple of scripts on 1 website I have to use for business purposes (but at least it 'owns up' instead of hanging or, as Firefox does, crashing). Firefox I find to be the fastest, but crashes if it's overworked, whilst IE remains steady, rarely crashes, allows me to get everything done - but is often too slow!
