Anyone else using Firefox 4??
I just downloaded Firefox 4 today and I cannot believe how slow it is. Web sites load quickly enough, but opening/closing the program, opening new tabs or windows, and even typing is really slow. Uses over 200 megabytes of memory?? And it's already crashed on me twice.

Firefox has turned into junk.

lol they got us again 3.6 takes around 5-6 seconds to shut down after you close it.
All your bookmarks are constantly connecting to the sites to download an icon.
I spent hours going through the bookmarks.html removing the damn icon links after I turned off downloading icons in about:config.
Everything in Firefox constantly backing things up checking things to restore, its like they made it purely for noobs.
They should have a noob version and a pro version.
Its becoming like Microsoft Firefox.

200mb RAM here with 7 tabs open and NoScript

Works like magic when you enable pipelining and 8 pipelining connections by typing about:config into address bar

Full list of tweaks include -

network.http.max-connections 30 to 96
network.http.max-connections-per-server 15 to 32
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 6 to 8
network.http.pipelining false to true
network.http.proxy.pipelining false to true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests 4 to 8
network.http.pipelining.ssl false to true
network.http.proxy.pipelining false to true

Only bad thing is font rendering, but I hear that is a DirectWrite bug Microsoft needs to fix, atm I have just disabled the hardware acceleration

Love Firefox 4

Unticking "use hardware acceleration", or wait till Microsoft fix DirectWrite.

But seriously, all Firefox users should enable http.pipelining

I was amazed how fast it makes it

What it does is makes Firefox be able to load various page elements simultaneously (so with a good connection like everyone has) it loads WAY quicker, also up the pipelining max connections to 8.
