Firefox 4

Well, it's here. I'm using it, and it's ok. Seems like I'm stuck in full screen mode all the time, but that's Firefox for ya. Some of the new features are cool. For the most part, I didn't mind how they rearranged it all. Decent update overall. Still waiting for you guys to tell me I'm a terrible person for jumping on the Firefox bandwagon. :P

As far as I know, to get out of full screen mode, just click the box just to the left of the red "X" box in the top right that says "Restore". Tell me if that works for you.

I upgraded awhile back, and it's pretty good.

My only problem with this browser was the awful text rendering, which I managed to fix by disabling hardware acceleration :/

I don't know how it does it in Windows, but Firefox is still so un-native that it renders all of its own antialiasing in Ubuntu (ignoring system settings). Made me laugh. And cry.

Address bar history context still breaks from time to time and is just generally nowhere near as streamlined as Chrome's any more. I also have a weird bug where occasionally my context menus break and I have to close and reopen the browser to fix them. 4.0 is a pretty big improvement over 3.6, but it still has a very long way to go. Will keep me from switching to Chrome for a little longer at this stage, at least.
