Tried and really don't like it.

They really made a huge overhaul to the UI and its gonna take some time getting used to.

For now I stick with 3.x

I have a smokin' desktop and a crappy old laptop which I use on the road. The desktop runs Win7Ult and blasts through crappy code like a hot knife through butter, but the laptop, an old single core running XP chokes on IE8 (totally unusable), and barely got through FF 3.6.15. On heavy Flash or Java pages, the CPU would hit 100% for 10s before allowing the page to slowly move.

Long story short, the GPU accelerated FF4 has fully rejuvenated my old pile. It literally flies though the heavy coded pages. In one word - AWESOME. I tested it on all the troubling websites and call me impressed.

just installed it. the new GUI is....different but unique. I will have to spend some time using it before giving it a final verdict though.

I just tried opening 79 tabs at once (by middle-clicking my 'latest headlines' newsfeed) and it didn't crash!

Looks like they "learned" from chrome. Looks much cleaner.

[_dangtx_]

lower memory usage my heiney! its 50% more with the same 50+ tabs open lol~!

No complaints here. Its running fine and has a few tweaks that I have noticed and like so far. I have always been a Mozilla user, since it has always run well and doesn't give me any problems. Keep the updates coming to keep it competitive and functional and I will keep running it.

I no like change!!!!

Thank goodness I still have palemoon 3.6

Going to take a bit to get used to the new UI but I will try.

I do like the idea of using the GFX to help with speed.

We will see what I think after a month or so, one thing at least is 70% of my addons work, they didnt last time I used the beta.

If you enable to the menu, enable the bookmarks toolbar and disable tabs on the top, it's essentially the same interface.

Bingo. I disabled tabs on top (right click the tab bar) and now the only big change is moving the home and reload buttons.
