Re: Firefox 4.0rc1
Just noticed, while writing an article, that the textarea in the write panel can be expanded with Firefox 4.0.
Another change I’ve stumbled upon, seems like I keep finding little nuggets here and there. Like right click on a tab and select Pin as App Tab, so those sites you want to keep open, but not waste precious tab space, are neatly pinned to the left side.

Not a fan either — though better than it used to be a few years back. Never found it to be very stable either.
However, the little bit of testing I’ve done w/ the latest version has impressed me with their improvements. Snappier. Seems a bit more stable. And I have to say, it seems to handle Facebook better than Safari.

For example, that resizing of textareas: you can control that from within your stylesheet, or you can also apply the resize property to any element with overflow other than visible.
have fun :-)

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the link, and I’m sure those following this thread do also.

I have to admit that’s on of the main reasons I use Google Chrome. It feels more like a Mac app than Firefox.

Firefox 4 is out (if by out you mean available for download unofficially).

Well it’s official now, 4.0 is on the main page for download. With cute cartoon characters representing Team Firefox displaying the total downloads so far (384, 614). Had to use Opera to see the new download me page, cause Firefox 4.0rc2 greeted me with a different page, informing me that I was up to date and a cute bear asking me to spin a wheel.
Yes, it’s like a carnival atmosphere, I can hear the music and the smell of cotton candy :)

Re: Firefox 4.0rc1
Maybe a bit off topic, but for those still using PPC Macs with Tiger (or even 10.5) there’s TenFourFox
Why is this TenFourFox and not Firefox? Because even though it uses the Firefox code base, it’s not Firefox. It uses code tuned for 10.4 (and compatible with 10.5), adds new PowerPC-specific improvements and restores the glue necessary to get most of Firefox 4’s advanced features working on our older computers, offered in separately hand-tuned builds for G3, G4/7400, G4/7450 and G5 processors to get the most from your specific computer.

Re: Firefox 4.0rc1
Is it just me or does firefox 4 really went down chrome’s way and copied how it looks. I know it is not conclusive that they followed the same interface but people could not help but think that way. I do not like firefox’ plug-in container. Yes it was an ingenious idea but failed in execution. Being minimalistic is really beautiful but having a physical tab still helps because the tools there are very significant.
