Do you guys think it was because of Firefox 3?
i use opera so iunno lol
Then you may go about your business, good sir.
How good is it compared to 3?
Augh, I need to get my own computer again. I could be using this new Firefox 4 instead of this crappy Internet Explorer.
My computer's acting slowly. Maybe it's Firefox 3?
FIREFOX 3 GAVE MY COMPUTER AIDS.
One thing I noticed is it seems like Firefox 4 opens faster, especially right after I boot up by computer.
There was a significant performance boost, I heard. According to them, at least.

Oh, huh. Maybe the problem was Firefox 3?
That's what we're thinking.
Maybe I'll give Firefox 4 a try.
For science.
You monster.
For science, a lot of things must be done. Mostly blowing stuff up. Just ask the Mythbusters.
Ooo, we should see if they can breed an actual firefox.
Oh, Mythbusters. The... two(?) times I've gotten to watch them were amazing.

My graceful avatar approves.
Well, I've been using Firefox 4 for a few days now.
Official verdict: Meh.
I like the way Opera works much better overall, personally. The only thing keeping me on Firefox 4 is the FMA theme I installed. :<

Fix'd to reflect my experience.
I think it's worthwhile to note Firefox 4 doesn't work or... well, even
look all that different compared to 3. I don't really see the point of a full new version...

Chrome is amazing. Installing chrome was one of the best net-related decisions I've ever made, next to photoshop and VBA (gameboy emulator).
If you're not using Chrome, you owe it to yourself to give it a shot.
Chrome sucked for me, honestly. It was slightly faster than Opera, and I liked the minimal layout, but every time I've tried it it's been an unstable, constantly-crashing piece of trash.
Part of the reason I tried it was its claim that each tab runs as a separate process, so if one tab goes down you can kill it and save the browser. Well... I guess that was a complete lie? Not only do tabs go down frequently, trying to kill one ends up seizing the whole browser and making it all crash. :/

I've been using it for over a year and it has only crashed one time for me. I've never had
any of the problems you've mentioned. Maybe its your internet provider, or your computer. Whatever the case, I
rarely have a problem with it- and when it did crash, it saved all of my pages.
From a development standpoint, I find Firefox to be top tier. I find it more Web compliant than IE and Chrome (expecially IE). Of course, while Chrome is far from terrible in terms of compliance, it does some things differently, yet noticeably, which is a decent minus on its score. Plus, it doesn't have as much support for CSS3 as Firefox 4 does. Of course, I must give Chrome credit for being lightweight on RAM and booting times. Major plus there.
IE just sucks.

...Really? My ISP is causing Chrome to crash on my year-old high-power gaming rig? ಠ_ಠ
ISP has nothing to do with it. I'd say it'd depend, rather, on the content uploaded or maybe even the OS.
Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit.
It'd crash no matter what I was doing, at random.

Sounds like it might be a problem with your digital signature for it. Win64 is notorious for requiring a digital signing for every damn thing it does.
If Firefox 4 is supposed to be so great then why the kriff doesn't the glow text work properly?

Because it uses the background-color CSS property, not the text-shadow property. You'll see that this creates no glow on any other browser, as well. It's probably the fault of those who created this forum framework, really.
I could have sworn it worked on Internet Explorer, but I just checked again and it doesn't. What the hell...?
It works on my IE
Okay, so I'm not crazy.
