Default Firefox 4.0

If you have downloaded it yet, you need to. I'm flying right now, I can't remember the last time my internet was this fast.

I installed it this morning and have had pop ups all day that I never had before. They seem to come at random from clicking links. Adblock Plus is running and I'm scanning my computer now. I really like the looks of it, but so far the speed is about the same. I am running it on my new computer which is fairly quick to begin with. If I can get rid of these pop ups then I'll be happy with it.

That's weird, I haven't had any pop ups. My computers about 2 years old though, internet has been slow but I noticed an increase in speed for sure once I downloaded it. I like the look as well, it's not as crowded.

Tried firefox for a little while since I was getting tired of IE. It wasn't bad. Then I tried Google Chrome and haven't looked back.

Just loaded 4.0 myself as for the ads its cookies possibly gained from where you downloaded it or prior and switched over as one rolls everything to the new version,like pw ,names etc.
Had chrome while back at first that was good then less over time.
Been using ff for years as ie is just to microsoft oriented,complete with microsoft partners via updates.

Firefox with Greasemonkey scripts can't be beat.
