Let's just hope the final release will be much better than v4!

Obviously, seeing that there's a link ( with a listed release date ) on the first post doesn't faze you to go there, does it??

Let's just hope the final release will be much better than v4!

I can say the same of Opera 11, but a part of me thinks it's finished as far as stability is concerned.

Firefox is what I'd change to if they don't fix the red O, so whatever issues v4 has, yeah, fix them. Thanks.

Yup.
I figured him (the S.P.A.M. invasion-guy,that is) to be barely literate so I figured he might be able to read what I gave him. Good thing Captain Rebound is on high alert.

I figure next time, we could just throw some grenades at 'em and shout whilst imitating Mr. T "It's time to pity some fools!!"

By-the-way, I strongly believe he must've been so low in the ranks, that he could have been no other than Private "Parts", who of course being commanded by Captian "Poopymypants' and sub-commanded by Major " Gasm", Major " Mistake" and General " Fernado Cocheese " overseeing operation "Failure".

as much as i can follow you guys , are u talking about some spammer or what? i think firefox 4 sucks at speed , maybe my laptop is the problem but i cant believe it with i7 intel core and 4 gb ram and 24 mbps connection. Hope v4 of firefox will speed up our internet browsing.

[SomeGuy]

In my case, Firefox 4 has been superior to Firefox 5. The ver 5 is much more unstable than Firefox 4, and has weird bugs, there weren't there on the ver 4.
Still, it's made by humans, so of course they suck sometimes :-)

F5 working fine so far! No problems at all!

[Uninvited2611]

aurora, actually firefox version 6

[ParamouR]

I taught firefox 5 is officially released if not then how come firefox(updates checker) told me to upgrade it when its still in beta from 4 ?

It happened to me, I think it is because they changed the development channel, and added an aurora kind of releases, so if you were part of a Beta before, Firefox will automatically update you to the beta, so that it doesn't seem to take too long for them to update.

Although they deny it, it's a Chrome related thing.

Nop, my friend i can't use some softwears with it.
like IDM, so I have to go back to old version.
always there are a problems with the new versions.

[hellman]

Working fine for me. Did you download the latest update?

[Sazzy]

Not sure why everyone is complaining, but I personally (as well as all the other people i know) have had zero problems with either versions. Some plugins stopped working purely due to version number, but adding a certain key in about:config fixed that straight away, so yeah...
