I find FF4 to be very quick, partly that's the way it's installed and tuned on my computer, but even on a different computer it seemed pretty quick.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I am in the throes of the dizzying head rush known as I Just Spent A Daunting Sum Of Money All At Once...on a MacBook Pro! Woo!
The old iBook isn't dead, but the processor speed can't keep up with my media habit, and the hard drive is damn well full, and 6 years is a damn good run. And it's not like I'm getting rid of it; it can be my Emergency Paranoid Backup laptop.
Now you'll have to excuse me while I go hit "Refresh" for 3 days until the laptop is delivered.
Thanks, Beverly. I'm giving up and reverting to Firefox 3.6 - for some reason 4 is running really slowly for me. I've looked at Mozilla's support forums, and it seems others are getting this problem, but not everyone. Hmm.
Steph,
I am looking at the MBP and I would love to know your impressions of the machine after you get it. I can't get one till around Labor Day...
FF4 is the reason I now use Chrome. Did. Not. Like.
Chrome is pretty awesome. I used FF for YEARS and I don't really miss it.
Opera. Seriously. Cures the sick and whitens your teeth.
Yeah, I switched to Chrome too. It's pretty great. The only thing I miss about FF is being able to bookmark RSS feeds. ETA: There's probably an extension for that somewhere...I haven't looked yet.
Sue, you don't read your RSS feeds through google reader?
Nope, I've been using FF's ability to bookmark RSS feeds in browser and reading them that way. I've never used a RSS reader before.
