There are several topics on IE9 but no topics on Firefox 4! That's unacceptable! :P

Firefox 4 was released today (finally), what are your thoughts on it?

I'll definitely get it, as soon as it's compatible with some of the add-ons I have that will likely get updated to work with it soon enough. :)

That's great news. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet and decide if I want to upgrade. FF3 definitely has a few quirks that I hope are addressed in FF4.

FF4 is a trillion times better than before. Love it!

I just finished installing it. It's looking good so far; it'll take some getting use to though. It's looking pretty sleek too. I just had to sack one of my add-ons, that being Screengrab. It seems to be loading faster than normal. I think I'll appreciate this upgrade!

I hope that annoying tab tearing thing is gone. The add-on is incompatible for now.

I really wish there was an option for removing the favicons next to the bookmarks on the toolbar. In fact, every browser should have that option. I can't think of a single reason why that option shouldn't always have been available. </angry>

I really like the new UI otherwise :P

I haven't tried it yet (Ubuntu needs to hurry up and package version 4). Does it still look like Opera with a different menu button?

I welcome the favicons. Makes it easier to identify the links.

The only bad things I have to say for Firefox 4 is the inability to move the link hover to the Add-on Bar to be like Firefox 3 (it's really annoying me) and the fact that when tabs go on top the title bar and tab bar doesn't merge (I would use tabs on top if it did, that's about 20 saved pixels).

Hell yeah, the favicons make the spacing ridiculous, my links don't fit on one line anymore. :(

Just downloaded it. It is so...sleek.
The beta was slow and annoying.

I noticed I can expand text boxes with FF4 too, as I just upgraded to it after upgrading to 3.6.16 caused my Firefox to keep putting itself down. Did anyone else get that problem with 3.6.16?

I didn't update my older Firefox with 3.6.16 yet, so I don't know if I get that issue, but I will say that Firefox 4 is absolutely beautiful. It's my primary browser, which I use for most of my browsing. I love it.
