Topic: Firefox 4 Beta 11
Dodongo !ZQvsveEcD6 started this discussion 15 years ago #1,193
No me gusta. :( Some things I noticed:
-It appears to use more system resources than FF3 did.
-Pages seem to load slower.
-There is a pause when switching between tabs (it was instantaneous for me in FF3).
-The tab animation (when opening or closing a tab) is choppy and looks like anus.
Other than that, I'm liking it, but the second and third points really bug me. Hopefully the final product fixes them.
Has anyone else tried it? What do you think of it?

I'm on beta 12 and it's magnitudes better than FF3.

Instantaneous for me.

Fluid and nice for me.
Sounds like you're doing something wrong.

Beta 12? I thought 11 was the newest release.
Also, I don't see what I could be doing wrong when all I've done thus far is install it.

Nightly build. It's on 12.
Must be unlucky, because it's perfect for me.

Installed beta 12 and it is MUCH better. The animation is much smoother, and switching between tabs is just as fast as it was with FF3.

Every new nightly build seems to be slower than the previous one. 2 weeks ago it opened as fast as Chrome and now it's slow again. Chrome is still fast.

Still opens about the same for me.
~3 seconds for opening and loading. ~2 in Chrome.

I admit flaws if I see them and don't defend it where I know it's beat, but it honestly seems about as fast on the draw as it has been for the last couple of betas.

If Firefox didn't have add-ons, it would be Internet Explorer.

I've just started using Chrome and it's confusing the balls out of me.
