Firefox 4 has a new look and new features

I hope it fixes the slowing down problems with Firefox 3. I have to restart my Firefox every few hours because it just gets slower and slower. I have already trimmed it down to the bare minimum of add-ons.
 
"The other big features aside from the interface are less obvious to the casual user. These include the crash-protection which isolates processes so that if one tab crashes it doesn't bring down the whole browser."

lol. i never knew crash proofing your software was a feature...

Maybe it's one of the remaining add-ons? Disable them all and see if it helps?

Also keep Adobe Flash and Shockwave player up to date.

I think it is more the way in which they made it more crash proof.

Yea, so if badly coded flash or whatever makes 1 tab freeze up, you don't have to kill your whole browser.
 
The interface seems different when installed on WinXP and Win7?
 
Isn't this old news? I had the beta a week ago. Maybe it was a pre-release. Love it though, much faster than previous versions too!
 
Mybroadband is slow as usual to announce this. I downloaded it 6 July, when all the other tech sites announced its release. It's awesome, only problem is a lot of the add-ons don't function on it yet.
