Firefox 3 was released on June 17, 2008.  It was definitely overdue for a new version.  Now that we have Chrome 10, Firefox 4, IE 9, and Opera 11, I'm going to try all four out to see what I think.  Browsers have really come a long way in the last ten years.

Firefox rocks! Love the new look and it runs faster than version 3.

IE9 has some bugs in it IMO. It seems to hang up every now and then.

Didn't know Google has version 10 out.

I don't mess with Opera.

I have the flu. Going downhill, my temp is up to 103.4.

Taking some Motrin to reduce my fever, but I will probably have to wait a couple days to fully recover from the flu.

I never liked Firefox, it was so slow for some reason even slower than IE8 when it was new. I'm discouraged from wanting to use FF4. I mainly use Chrome which I'm using right now.

Hope you get well soon, Matthew.  That's a pretty serious fever. :hmm:

I understand why Chrome is gaining ground after a trial run earlier today.  If something happens to Firefox, I would definitely switch over.  I actually thought all four browsers were pretty good, but it's the subtle differences that help everyone form their own opinions.

FF 4 came out in beta well over a year ago... it took them a lot longer than I expected for them to debug and release a non-beta version.

I don't mess with IE... it slows down my pc even more than FF.

IE 9 impressed me a lot. I'm starting to use it more and more when it comes to browsing. Now it's my 2nd choice browser while Chrome is the first. I've managed to stay away from Firefox.

Here are a few pictures of my on-camera experience from a couple weeks ago.
