I was shocked that it was already out. I thought the 4 version is excellent but it was getting a bit slow in the afternoon, so im hoping thats better with this version ;)

I've put it on, I'm still annoyed by not being able to middle click the final tab to close it. Other than that it's almost as good as chrome for me, but it seems like it'll only be my backup browser though.

I'm still on 3.6 was thinking of going to 4 soon but going to delay this as a 4 to 5 jump this quickly worries me.

Got the new update from the repos today. Can't say I'm impressed, 4 of my plugins don't work with it and all it has is a couple of bug fixes.

GhostMjr it is definitely worth upgrading to FF4 unless you depend on a plugin it doesn't support. FF5 is not worth having, it should be called FF4.1 or even 4.0.1

EDIT: FF4 will no longer receive security updates. http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/06/22/172229/No-Additional-Firefox-4-Security-Updates?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Slashdot%2Fslashdot+%28Slashdot%29

Looks nice but until Firefox Sync can match Chrome Sync it can't become my main browser.

Whatever's gone wrong it's not my fault.

I've gone back to xmarks now, since they've been bought out by lastpass :)

Yeah me too. Found it to be less resource hungry.

I use Xmarks for bookmarks too, but I like to keep themes, plug ins, extensions and the new tab layout in sync across my browsers, which Firefox doesn't do yet.

For incompatible add-ons, I can recommend the Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on by Mozilla. It allows you to enable add-ons that appear to be incompatible. The truth is that many of them will actually work, and the add-on has a feature where you can report if the add-on is broken (or if it works), so that the developer can adjust the version requirements, or take necessary steps to fix the add-on.

Cheers Bob, I have hyperwords working but I'll use your recommendation to sort the rest :D
