I remember when Firefox 3 came out, Frozenfire made a post about it here. That post was the reason I started using Firefox. I changed instantly from Internet Explorer 6 to Firefox. The interface, the addons and the speed made Firefox an obvious choice.

Firefox 4 is set to release on March 22, 2011 and will be the next entry in the Firefox web browser. It promises a new UI that looks like Google Chrome (that can be changed to look more like Firefox 3, which I will be doing), faster speeds all around, and a much faster Javascript rendering engine.

Anyone still running Firefox around here and excited for this new release? All of my friends have moved onto Google Chrome and dislike Firefox now, but I personally love it and don't see myself ever switching.

Yeh man, love firefox and have always recommended it since it was released.. 360-HQ used to have an icon on every page promoting it since it was just so much faster and better.

I love the addons and the community it has built up, let alone the security it provides compared to IE etc.

Im glad frozenfire got you converted.. hopefully some other guys might take note and check it out before FF4 hits.. I can't wait. 360-HQ toolbar will have to be updated but thats no big deal.

I only use firefox. It's reall annoying when you have to use a m$ website that will only work with IE.

I just downloaded Firefox 4 right now and have it looking like Firefox 3 did. So far I'm really happy with the speed of the new browser, and it's not actually that hard to change the UI. You should definitely check it out, you can get it early from here:http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Mozilla-Firefox-v4-for-Windows/1032985422/16

One of the addons I had to get was Tab Utilities because I always do right click => new tab to make a new tab, and Firefox 4 got rid of that feature. Got that addon and configured it and I couldn't be happier.

Below I will attach a few images of my Firefox 3 setup, the standard Firefox 4 setup, and my Firefox 4 setup.
