So far, I HATE Firefox 4.0.

[trof]

I have to log in to DU every time I come here.
:-(
The format sux.
Hard to find formerly familiar icons.
I want my 3.5 or whatever it was back.
:-(:-(:-(

1. I'm getting used to it, my dear trof...

I haven't had to log into DU...

But I don't log out...

I do wish they'd stop "improving" it, though...

:hi:

2. There is a cookies file that is corrupt.

Can you find one that has zero size? If so, you can delete it.

[madinmaryland]

5. Heh...

Is it called jerryjones.exe???

Oh wait. That one comes up with three super bowl rings!

:P

[El Supremo]

7. It is as corrupt as Jim Tressel and Ohio State!

Stalker!

[madinmaryland]

8. Heh Heh! The Ace Reporter has taught you well!

:P

[JBoy]

3. Really?

Check your privacy settings. If you're set to delete cookies on exiting Firefox, then yes, you'll have to log in again. If not deleting cookies, you should be OK.

Go to "Tools / Options / Privacy, then "Settings"

23. MANY THANKS!

maybe that worked.

[trof]

24. It worked. Again, many thanks.

[madinmaryland]

4. Completely transparent for my upgrade. NO glitches for me.

:shrug:

6. Locking

Direct attacks against other members (Firefox 4.0) is against the rules.

[kentauros]

15. So, if I tell them

to use Opera instead of that buggy Firefox, I'll be TS'd? :P

9. I don't know what I did wrong when I upgraded but the Firefox icons are ll gray and ugly.

I think I hosed it up when I forced it to include the Reload and Stop buttons. It works, it's just ugly as sin.

[freshwest]

13. Did it lose your preferences? I have my background colors and font, etc. established.

If you want some color, you could pick out one of their skins. It should have given you that option. I kept mine gray on purpose.

[Lasher]

16. I don't know if I lost my preferences.

I've been lazy about checking it out.

Is gray the default?

[freshwest]

19. Yeah, I think it is. I prefer it because my folder and document margins are gray.

I tried out a couple of skins and didn't like it because the colors obscured my toolbar icons, made them harder to see. I set my background color on Firefox and text for less eye strain.

I don't have a white background as it appears most people do when they look at a webpage. They all have to conform to my color, text size and font as I set up my preferences to override them.

Experiment with your preferences and see what you get, I think you will be pleased with the results. Firefox has a huge library of skins to replace that gray that's bugging you. I empathize with you about the aggravation different page styles can cause.

10. That must be the Windows version--I have no problems

:hide:

11. I switched from IE 9 to firefox 4.0, so I absolutely love it, it's so much better

than IE.

[freshwest]

12. Are you running OSX? They keep trying to get me to upgrade, but I keep refusing.

As far as DU, do you check that 'stay signed in' option? Right now I only have to sign back in after I quit Firefox completely, not just close the browser window.

[udbcrzy2]

14. I switched to Google Chrome

It's okay, but I have used FireFox previously. Seems to have more options and quicker browsing with Chrome.

[Misskittycat]

17. I, too, am having severe problems with it, nt

[astral]

18. I'm not making that upgrade.

Hopefully they'll fix all the stuff people are complaining about before I have to.

[GoCubsGo]

20. I like it. My problems have been with some of the add-ons

I think it's Xmarks, specifically. I keep getting error messages that the script from this add-on is what hangs the thing up. But, ver. 4.0 generally boots up faster than the previous version. The previous one used to hang during the start-up. It was a royal pain in the ass to get it going on some days. I just wish they'd upgrade the eQuake alerts add-on, which is not compatible with ver. 4.0.

21. I've been using the beta for ages, I like it very much, sorry you're having problems n/t

[david13]

22. I don't like it either. I'm not going to it over here, but in the other shop

I made the mistake of going to it.

25. I don't hate it, but I can't find my passwords.

I want my passwords. :cry:

[krispos42]

26. I miss the mini-history dropdown menu.

Where you can see the last 5 or 10 pages you visited for any particular tab.



It is very quick, though. Hell, it's quick on MY machine, and mine is 7 years old!

[freshwest]

28. Did you lose both of them? I had two kinds of history on mine.

[krispos42]

29. There used to be one next to the "Back" button

Now it's not there anymore. And clicking the "History" menu at the top shows the last few pages you went to... but it's the cumulative history of the browser window, not the specific tab.

:-(

[freshwest]

30. Major bummer! Does it still let you repeat on the back button to get to previous history?

And does it allow you to keep color and font styles and sizes? That would be a major turn-off for me, like going back to Safari.

I guess the History toolbar *above* the window is still an option? Half the time I go up there to restore closed tabs and windows.

Perhaps for some that have upgraded, if they saved the .dmg in their applications folder, they could drag 4.0 to the trash and reinstall 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6. I'm running 3.6 and only had to re-install a few add-ons.

Actually found better ones to replace those the codex wouldn't work with anymore. And I don't think it has anything to do with Firefox, but I've been getting slower downloading time on videos and more error pages but it may be Comcast.

I'll put off upgrading this thing as long as I can, I hate fiddling with this stuff all the time. It seems like they come out with something every couple of months. And now Yahoo is saying if I don't upgrade in a month or so, they'll do it anyway. So I have to figure that out.

Good luck anyone with this. It's awful taking the chance of losing your bookmarks, etc. I've never changed anything on Firefox that i can't change back by un-installing and starting again.

[csziggy]

31. I missed that too

And hunted through the addons to find the Backward/Forward History Drop Down, which adds the same function. Now I wish the Search box still had its drown down, too. I may have to find an addon for it.

[Twillig]

32. Now you click and hold on the "back" button

to get the history for the tab you're in.

[krispos42]

34. Hey, thanks!

That solves the problem quite nicely!


:yourock:

27. I miss the ctrl-e shortcut to get to the search window

I'm not sure why they took it off. I used it all the time. I can use ctrl-k, but that's not as easy on my primary computer as ctrl-e.

Aside from that, I don't have any major complaints yet :) ...

[IDemo]

33. I hate all of the minimalist-looking browsers

Which is rapidly becoming all of them. I just like having the familiar menu bar and icons.
