I'm finding major memory leaks in 4.0 and occasional cpu sucking, so if you're wanting well behaved software on limited resources then 3.6 seems a better bet for now.
There seem to be some issues (what first releases of major updates always suffer from). I have only one issue with 4.0 and that is its combination with firebug.
One pro point with 4.0 is each tab being a process, so flash crashing in one tab won't kill the whole browser like in 3.6, but you have to weigh that against the memory/cpu issues.
That's wrong. Firefox 4 does not use a process for each tab. Only Firefox for Mobile does that (yet). Flash is running outside of the firefox process since 3.6.4 (and always have for 32<->64bit combinations through nspluginwrapper). Please also note that on 11.4 (and sometimes 11.3) the combination of latest 32bit Flash, nspluginwrapper and Firefox 4 has around 90% chance of being broken. I would urge everyone to use Adobe's preview 64bit Flash version which works fine for me. Also the recent Flash players have a lot of issues with different gfx cards. Most of the crashes I read about where it's said that Firefox crashes the whole system I pretty much doubt that. It's more likely to be Flash IMHO.
Usability wise the button repositioning is a pain, but I'm sticking with it for now to see if it really is a better way or not.
Change always is a pain but almost everything can be configured differently. Personally I left it alone and for me it worked out meanwhile. I'd say most of the UI changes make sense in general. And I don't think it's just copying others. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
