I've used it for 10 years..  Still, I'll wait for the automatic update, in case any bugs show up.
  (think I might miss 3.6   :)

Unfortunately FF 4 does not support the "Kaspersky URL Advisor" feature and I chose to roll back to 3.6.16

For die hard Internet Explorer users. IE 9 is already out

My installation failled do to a hang-up during the 2 nd part of upgrading / launching !

Tried 4 times now with different downloads of the Firefox setup file, any thoughts!?

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: saltydog on March 23, 2011, 16:43:20

Are you doing this from IE..?   Maybe it's a Firewall issue..

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: eviss on March 23, 2011, 16:45:14

No I have Firefox for years now , Updates automaticly .  :)

New versions to download and install / no problems before !  ???

Download and install went well, but a freeze came after the launch the new version

There will be checks for Java , I think its went wrong there !

Installed 3.5. .  again (working fine), tried a the new one few times:

NO GO, for the new 4 version !

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: saltydog on March 23, 2011, 16:53:57

I would wait for the automatic update..
In the meantime, check if you have old versions of Java and remove them..

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: eviss on March 23, 2011, 17:01:28

This new version will not update automaticly !  ;D

Java is recently updated, so best thing is wait a week and try again , huh !?  8)

Maybe others have the same problems and it will be replaced then !  :-\

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: saltydog on March 23, 2011, 17:14:43

Java does not overwrite older versions, you must remove them manually..(in Configuration-Software)
Have you tried the official Firefox site..?

THX, Saltydog,  :thumbs:

I stumbled on an article about Firewall / I'll try that first  ::) 

Update:

That wasn't the problem ! / Firewall is controled in Windows Security Centre ! Program was allowed acces

I have AVG 10 now, there is no directions for that program related to Firefox 4 yet !

Tested the java install; all fine / latest version / up and running / no old versions were found !?

Any new suggestions !?  ;D

Yep, even saw it in Dutch ! / Did all the most likely options !   :doh:

Result sofar : NONE  / I reinstalled 3.5 + update to .18, witch works again !   :P

And I read the (Dutch) Morzillaforum, where there is more people like me, to have the problem.  :o

Their answer / solution is not working though !  >:(

THX, for the assistance sofar !  :thumbs:

Title: Re: Firefox 4

You're welcome.. :)    Let's hope the auto-update solves it.. :)

Post by: The Ferry Man on March 24, 2011, 18:23:11

OK, I have Firefox 4

I found the Firefox 3 was very unstable - I got "stop this script" messages in Hotmail, but this one appears quite good for me

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: clanky on March 24, 2011, 18:32:08

I have been using Chromium for the past few years, I used FFX when it first came out, but changed to chromium as it is a bit more lightweight.

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: matt5674 on March 24, 2011, 19:43:03

Firefox 4 looks a whole lot like a mix of Internet Explorer 9 and Google Chrome. Will take some time to get use to.

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: saltydog on March 25, 2011, 04:41:08

Fortunatly there are Personas, so you can 'personalize' the look to some extent.. :)

Update: After many retries during these last month's and weeks, with no results;  :-\

I downloaded the new setup 4.0.1 today again and guess what !?  ::)

It did, it realy did do the job finaly; as I expected, when I was confronted with the problems then.  ;D

The upgrading processed well now and the result: a nicely working Morzilla Firefox 4 !  ;)

I got sevaral noticifications the last few days, also there were alerts that several of my addons were not yet compatibel.. Think I'll wait a bit.. ;)

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: eviss on June 26, 2011, 11:48:22

That is indeed a safe strategy !  ::)   Some time later works as well !  ;D

Title: Re: Firefox 4
Post by: Firestar on June 26, 2011, 17:20:13

I like their new rolling release cycle..  :)

Edit:

Yeah, but Matt, Internet Explorer 9 is a joke, and Google Chrome is becoming more than just a web browser. It was a necessary change since these days a lot of people only care about what software looks like rather than how it operates.

Title: Re: Firefox 4

I have three:

Internet Explorer - Every website makes it "crash" and have to restart
Firefox - Slow, and jams (least I think it jams - it did something annoying)
Chrome - works

Post by: krytsch on June 27, 2011, 20:00:13

I prefer Opera - it's lightweight and fast. Once customized for your needs, it's a pleasure to use. I don't know if the other browsers support sessions as well nowadays, but when I started using Opera, it was the only one to do that.

I never tried the built in mailing feature, because I like OE.

Just got a notice that FoxTab (one of my favourite addons) was succesfully installed in Firefox 5.. :)
