Firefox 4 Beta 1: Introducing the New UI

[SabreH1]

Firefox 4.0 a remake of Explorer ? No way will I use it any more than I do IE

[BP90VBhax]

darn. i want to buy windows 7 now

[vampiroy]

anyone know how to add the "Stop" and the "Reload" buttons in tooolbar ?

[lmao4ever101]

Firefox copies the entire google chrome structure!

[Caratris]

Can't you just use CTRL+Tab to switch tab? That just seems easier to me.

[tredgkskate]

just push control tab on chrome to switch wenever

[SalemStorm]

Thankfully 3 was available elsewhere.

4?

Get back to the drawing board before you release it as an update to 3

[Makemefamousfish]

so i download firefox 4 or not? is better than the 3.6? is more faster?

[Protomasterexe]

@Makemefamousfish If you like firefox over chrome and opera, then no you shouldn't download it. Mozilla is now officially just knocking off their competition.

[tanittoo]

how could you do that... its opera with other name

[subtenk0]

the awesome bar? XD AHAHAHAHA! nice

[PhotoShopChannel]

Lookalikes don't matter, when ti comes to speed, features and reliability. Firefox is unmatched.

[AlternativeToItunes]

@PhotoShopChannel lol did you just say speed?

[vediocamera]

Firefox is finally released today :D.

I am testing on my Ubuntu computer and I have to congratulate the Firefox team for making their browser more awesome.

[iAnimationProduction]

Looks so much like opera what a fail.

[ogrejd]

Ugh. Looks ugly. Tabs at the top are horrible and inefficient (strangely enough my mouse is down at the bottom of the screen to reduce scrolling), so tabs at the very bottom are the way to go. Why that ability was removed from Firefox (forcing the use of an addon or chrome-diving) is beyond me.

The "Awesome Bar" is garbage, pure and simple. All it should do is bring up results from your history. Anything more is bloat and clutter.

Fewer exposed menus = more mouseclicks = bad.

Thumbs down.

[Aerex12]

@ogrejd: Awesome Bar sounds very much like the address bar in opera :/.

[enterprise0709]

WOOOT FIRST OFFICIAL RELEASE NEXT WEEK!!!!

[photographylover246]

I like firefox 4 but I have to admit they copied Opera's ui. They are exactly the same.

[248759ful]

im using Firfox 4, and some videos using Flash are really laggy...hopefully it gets fixed

[ratface071394]

This is what all true warriors strive 4

[m057miros]

Mozilla Firefox 4.0 RC 1 now available. Upgrade Firefox now.

[carbonhealth]

stupid firefox 4 and no support for flash video in the 64bit version, what a joke and bullshit stuff your stupid ui and rip off from chrome and opera, big thumps down

[potatoman08]

switching from google chrome back to firefox :D

Only problem I have so far is that the font is a bit bold.

the new UI is cool but not that new/fascinating but the speed increase is faster than chrome which was faster than 3.5.

[Ry5ive]

I thought Firefox 4 was far too different and I wouldn't like it, but really they kept a lot of the same features.

For those who did not download it, all they did was clean it up.

Congrats to Firefox.

[packoftwenty]

Perhaps our resident genius, Alex Faaborg, can make a new video, explaining WHY he and his latte sipping douchebag friends at Mozilla decided to try to do a 'ribbon' (also a terrible user interface) by adding the 'Firefox button'.

Oh, how trendy! We've got a stupid, worthless little 'button' just like Microsoft's 'The Ribbon', and we can HIDE EVERYTHING in it! Yay!

Seriously, these 'designers' are idiots of the highest order. Stop changing fucking interfaces for the sake of it, morons.

[packoftwenty]

My god. Words fail me. 1:35. "The Firefox button".

Oh, what genius! Sheer brilliance! Those damn pull down menus were just so - 'passe', yah?

Why would you want to put ALL the available commands into ONE drop down menu? Because you're stupid dipshits who think that they just MUST 'improve' things, i.e. change them for no reason at all. Fucking morons.

Notice - HE DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY IT'S BEEN CHANGED...

The fact that this DOUCHE is "principal designer" at Mozilla, speaks volumes. God help us.

[photographylover246]

@packoftwenty Well it got me to start using Firefox again.....

[MrSimon510]

i wonder what kind of speed this will give...the new internet explorer 9 beta runs at about the speed of the latest firefox, which is kinda lacking since its still not that big of a deal and IE is still pretty much on the bottom, but its a huge jump from IE8, I hope firefox 4 has some huge improvements and not just a new UI

[kamilm122]

firefox should change its icon :) maybe burning head of fox :D? would be original :P

[DarkHeart311]

I use Tiny Menu and love it.

[23BiGFailure]

I watched this video on firefox. YAY!

[KamenRiderDecadeX]

lol that firefox drop down menu is basically a extremely unattractive rip off of Opera's menu button

[explosionvideo]

Best browser ever! Keep up the good job! We cant wait for the final version of Firefox 4!!

[najeebmarri]

why they are copying chrome??? i love firefox :(

[TheCacashinha]

firefox copied Opera wtf!

[ThreeWalledBox]

@insearchofsunrise100 who cares, chrome is like the Wii of the internet browsers. Its simple and even your mom and little sister can use it.(I'm not implying that Chrome is for girls, but if you use Chrome or a Wii then you probably have a vagina)

[insearchofsunrise100]

sorry guys, but chrome is taking you an increidble advantage in user frendliness, speed and features. I'm really sorry, but, FIREFOX, GAME OVER.

[HumorOfANerd]

it might just be me, but im beta testing FF4 and my UI text is sorta blurry, any ideas?

[langamer101]

look like opera

switch to tab from opera

firefox button ui look like opera

[Wolfgang654]

Firefox pwns

[VeXorian1337]

And this looks like Chrome... how??

[parfumeria33ro]

In my oppinion, THE SCROLLBAR should be displayed only on MouseOver, eventually with a quick fading and still some transparency when fully displayed. The webpage content should stay centered no matter if the content is less or more than window height.

:)

My example page is found at

...

\/\/ \/\/ \/\/ . statuianuda . ro slash no-scroll . php

...

Please don't mark it as a spam.

I don't know how else I can contact the Firefox Team, so I'm just submitting an idea here by showing the exact example.

[qqttee]

The new "features" sounds rath trivial. But thanks for the "alt" trick, I did not know that before, and often had trouble finding the menus on IE..

[IsntPerfect]

Until ff4 comes out, I'm using chrome.

[okasaky0]

o_O es la vil copia de google chrome

[GermanTutorials24]

Bei uns gibt es eine ausführliche Erklärung zu FireFox 4

[alfox9t]

firefox is the best browser!

[Iv1993]

LOL at people saying it's a rip-off.

A user interface is not enough, it's like saying Google Chrome copied InternetWorks on tabbed browsing.

[luner101]

more like opera not Chome

[123qwerty]

yo dawg, we heard you needed to improve firefox, we also heard u have no new ideas whatsoever

so we made it look just like chrome, cool huh?

[bloodnoseThePirate]

@123qwerty yo dawg pull up your pants and get a dad.

[123qwerty]

@bloodnoseThePirate jealous of what you don't have since it left you at the age of 5? :)

[Koloblicin]

I wonder why they don't merge the address bar and the search bar... maybe to avoid legal issues with Google? (cp. Chrome)

[SuperKurt11]

So Chrome.....

[SuperKurt11]

can we sync our bookmarks?(just like chrome)

[SuperKurt11]

104 people don't know whats a browser

[aoshi3000]

looks like chrome



[evilshreyas]

can we pin websites like we can in internet explorer 9. that is an amazing feature on ie9!

[Royalheadshot]

SUBSCRIBE... oh and I love ff4 im running on it now :3

[NoTrollsAloud]

Will it still have personas? I love them.

[Royalheadshot]

@NoTrollsAloud yes we do :) a little different but well find out yourself :3

[forumunix]

not much different with opera UI browser

[lekotar]

Sadly I have Vulpophobia and Pyrophobia and I can't use Firefox.

[Royalheadshot]

@lekotar lol

[Flackon]

Will it have an animated interface like Google Chrome?

[mraudiofanatic]

LONG LIVE THE SPIRIT OF MOZILLA FIREFOX!!

[kakyoinwang]

UI Reference

[SDownloads]

firefox 4 looks shit in xp :(

[Royalheadshot]

@SDownloads get win 7 then

[SDownloads]

@Royalheadshot oh thanks!...Idiot!!

[pendevil]

I'm fine with borrowing some features or whatever but this looks EXACTLY like Chrome. Sad. :( Diversity and originality is good.

[Cloudkins]

Im sorry, Firefox is just really copying Opera and Chrome, And for all who says Opera sucks, no it don't, it really is my favorite browser, Chrome is really unresponsive for me, it's fast yes, but that is it

Firefox use to crash on me all the time, so now i dont run with any plug-in on it now

P.s-im using Firefox right now, because it seem like website only cater to the suppose of firefox

[OwnageTk]

Chrome = Google = SKYNET = CIA = Off Shore Bankers = Total Control Over The World/Internet & Money Supply.

All they want to do is track and trace the hell out of everyone..

Wake up.. Before they shut down the old internet and convert us all over to the new high speed fully controlled internet. We need to fight for net neutrality.

[Coi1221]

Introducing the New UI? You mean Chrome UI, right?

[SMGGM]

@Coi1221 Chrome ripped the idea of losing the menu bar from IE7, IE9 ripped the the basic simple interface idea from Chrome, Chrome/IE/Safari ripped the speeddial feature from Opera, Opera ripped the menu button from Office 2007, Firefox ripped the menu button from Opera,... do you really want me to go on? Everybody steals something from the other one. You can't be creative all the time, sometimes the other one has a feature that is just so good that it gets copied.

[Coi1221]

@SMGGM Well I said that because many people say IE9 ripped of Chrome while this looks more like Chrome than IE9 imo.

Anyways, I don't think Browser UI rip-off's shouldn't be taken seriously, as there is not much choice on how the UI could look.

[hornybudacracker]

Google are going to force everyone on youtube to use chrome. They have started running scripts that detect ad blockers, and are blocking access to vids by way of telling people to upgrade their flash player. They are hoping all the confusion and hassle will make people think it would be just easier to use chrome.

Chrome will take over your PC and destroy it!!

[Reaprar]

Great. You turned firefox into chrome, exactly the opposite of what I want. If I wanted to use chrome al lthe time, I'd do that.

This is not what I use this browser for.

[iFIght4Piss]

@Reaprar What do you use this browser for?

[comments247]

All of the browsers copied Chrome :o

[XSunacX]

and i hate blank new tab page

[XSunacX]

Tabs are NOT on top!

Chrome is the best!

[01iamaprofessional]

opra sucks, google chrome needs more time, and explorer steals others ideas.

[sephirothsoul999]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:2.0b6pre) Gecko/20100911 Firefox/4.0b6pre is working very well :) speedy and i think the feature is back where, if you type something in the address bar, firefox loads the page it thinks you mean straight away, instead of searching via google etc e.g. if i type "filehippo", it assumes (correctly) that i mean filehippo(dot)com and loads it immediately :)

Can't wait for the linux theme to be all sorted! Keep up the great work!

[PirateOfTheInternet]

Make the Linux version compatible with gnome-global-menu!

[gytis156]

windows always wins the 1st place

[nowaydudewtf]

This looks like shit..... I don't want tabs on top.

[CainmosniMirrored]

Google Chrome sucks because if you use adBlock it will make you turn it off to watch youtube videos that have ads. So they force you to sit through the annoying ads. With Firefox you don't even know they exist. Firefox FTW!!!!!!

[mindtwindompeople]

This is terrible. Fix it. Make it faster.

[shownomercyomer]

firefox 2.0 is the best by far.

[Krisler12]

In Chrome if you open another browser window you can easy merge that window with the browser you have just opened into a single instance so that the the opened window become now a tab.

You should make this feature for Firefox too.

Thanks !

[nowaydudewtf]

@Krisler12

You can do that in firefox too. I do it all the time.

[xHathe]

Google Chrome has everything, and more.

[ScOrPiOnE905]

@xHathe then post your comment on google chrome ;)

[mysticdragon38]

@xHathe I had google chrome for awhile and had nothing but problems with it. Chrome would constantly crash while watching youtube videos . its funny considering google owns youtube and their products dont run well together :(

i did however like that when a tab crashed it didnt close all your tabs.. so ++ for that feature. in the end i went back to Firefox as i spend most of my day on youtube.

[1K1NDR3D]

@xHathe not Firebug ;)

[fr1x]

@xHathe

quakelive doesn't work with chrome!

die google

[thefifthlord1]

@xHathe

Google chrome is the slowest of the 3 when rendering the page/images.

[Krisler12]

@xHathe Firefox > Chrome

[timmiafl]

Thumb up firefox that need to pass Acid 3 test

[Kecix93]

Firefox for the win i use this for 3years and got no problem with it

[rexgperez]

Firefox that looks a lot like Google Chrome? Why not switch to Google Chrome instead?

[TheAkatushar]

FireFox for the win

[BuRninsh]

@TheAkatushar Firefox stealing from chrome innovative ideas how pathetic !

[Halo2loverboy]

@BuRninsh You do realize that EVERYTHING in this world is partly copied from another idea. Just like "lv1993" said, chrome may just be a copy of InternetWorks...It goes on and on... Just that one thing doesn't mean it's copied.

[rayzrblayd24]

@TheAkatushar Laugh Out Loud

[TheAztec96]

why you dont just install google chrome

[BronzzNS]

@TheAztec96

FF is a way more comfortable... chrome is very raw... it needs time

[TheAztec96]

@BronzzNS no it isnt

[TheunknowSecretagent]

firefox rocks!

[SleepyWhiteBoy]

who needs an "Home" Icon? Did you even think about that or did you just copy the Opera GUI? Why are there still 2 bars, one for addresses and one for search, WHY not join them? Also where are my fav bookmarks in firefox 4? You can easily put the "Go Back" Button, the "Forward" Button, search&address bar and the fav bookmarks in one row, why dont you do it? Dont you SEE how much userfriendly this would be?

[MrToadful]

@lironcn86 That's unnecessary because, as you said, operating systems have user accounts. Each user can set their Firefox up differently.

[LiLxGHiT369]

Very Chrome-esque...

[j800r]

@LiLxGHiT369 actually, it's more like Opera in many ways.

[fumfulapenguin]

firefox 4 is amazing! im waiting for addons to update on 4.0 

[BlazingShadowOfBlaze]

I Like Firefox 3.6.8! Sorry!

[aminfahim123]

FIREFOX FT!

[jorei1997]

i did the acid test and firefox 4 scored 97/100.It still needs a little to pass the test..

[SuperChalm]

help im stuck in the beta the close and minimize buttons r gone

[MrGibbleChip]

@SuperChalm delete your persona

[ElysisOne]

There will not be a Firefox Button on Linux and Mac? WHY?????? :@

[MatinoAdeAit]

@ElysisOne That firefox button is a feature of Windows Aero. Go reverse-engineer Aero, recode it for new platforms. Get sued by microsoft. Lose lots of money.

Enjoy!

[ytvoice1]

Firefox 3.6.7 is already faster than Chrome. I would like to try the FF4, even its a beta, but when is it able for Linux?

[sk8rked]

@ytvoice1 It's already beta on linux. I'm using it right now.

[iwanaplayagame1]

When will this be out??

[blackram6666]

woooh this is looking a lot like strata40 loving it :DDDDD!!!@!@!@!@

[iTechNetwork]

Lol Vuvuzela - wikipedia

[GopulAnand886]

MOZILLA FIREFOX 4 BETA 1 IS REALLY COOL!!!! =]

[NFSPlay3r]

Where do I download this google chrome skin?

[Mohazesh]

just like chrome, Fuck you firefox

[besie0]

@Mohazesh, firefox didn't copy anything. Google stole firefox's persona's idea. They also stole the addon idea. Only chrome addons fail. Adblock doesn't do shit on Google chrome for example. Adblock for firefox. Works like a charm!

[JoeyJoeJoe5000]

It looks alot like Opera. I hope FF4 fixes all the problems that FF3 had.

[Iyoulikeyoutoo]

Firefox 4 OSX should look similar to the windows version. Plz don't dissappoint osx users with the look.

[defaultname365]

err... tabs on top = Chrome?

[besie0]

@defaultname365, it's a preference. You can have the tabs on bottom if you want too!

[briant14164]

Lo he descargado y es un poco inestable pero es muy bueno, esta versión esta completísima, hasta tiene diccionario sin necesidad de descargarlo. Hasta que salga la versión final uso chrome. Repito es el mejor navegador de mundo.

[xJessiexJenocidex]

I love you firefox lol i can't wait till the new one comes out so i can test it out lol

[hitman7112]

Its like a hybrid between Chrome and Opera.....no thanx ill stick with Chrome

[Theboxset]

well mozilla... i hate to say this but you guys are getting behind.

[Tenshionnanoko128]

Both Opera and Firefox are great web browsers ;)

[omaifakingad]

@Tenshionnanoko128 opera has been and is better. If that' won't be the case in the future, I'll happily switch to something else. Until that happens, Opera is KING.

[Tenshionnanoko128]

I really don't understand why anyone complaining about the new Firefox browser...

Anyone can change back the interface to the OLD LOOK, just click on the BIG orange button at the top of the browser, click on Customize... And switch on the Menu bar - that's easy (the ugly looking orange button is gone)

[resistenciaposee]

i use firefox in mac & pc .simply the best.waiting for 4!

[psyteamZ]

Firefox 4 is getting exactly as Opera !! AND THAT"S WRONG!

[DreamsofMajesty]

scribd (dot) com/nb812

[piertrix]

Firefox 4 will be great, i have total faith in that.

[bloody0411]

FF looks like chrome now. But i still love the solid UI of chrome than those glass-aero stuffs

[Ofifo]

Looks a lot like a copy of Opera and also features that Chrome has since day one. FOr me this new Ui looks a lot like Opera ayayaayayi! Will see

[WiiWareReviews]

@Ofifo firefox had mockup of their UI a day or was it a week before opera released theirs (was on an engadget article) so... firefox did not copy anyone

[WiiWareReviews]

@WiiWareReviews well.. maybe chrome :P

[WOLFT3CH]

OMFG isn't it just great using a program with loads of bugs and things that need fixing / improving =)... Wait a minute, thats not fun... Liar =(.

[TerroFT7]

LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOLLLLLLLL COPY OF CHROME !!!!

[panterua2008]

now i like more firefox

[Thushan44]

The navigation bar isn't aero!

[harlysorto217]

Just like the Safari 3 Beta.. Tabs on top.

[ab30494]

@harlysorto217 like safari and chrome, if you dont like it in firefox4 you will be able to move tabs back below address bar

[lionhartpld]

@harlysorto217 Hate to break your bubble but Chrome has had tabs on top since release in 2008. It's definitely not a Safari-first feature.

[M4t94]

Where's the video about why the tabs are on the top? I can't find it on the channel...

[deicidejan]

I love the new firefox, it looks sleek

[abclololol]

looks like a piece of shit mix made out of opera and internet explorer

[navekeinan]

looking great i love firefox :D

[iwanthalo3]

this "designer" needs to stop ripping off opera.

[AIeexx]

Well i just see advatages with the new beta ;)

Its a further explain on sweclockers ofc :D

[samdramtheory]

lol, looks like opera now! lol

[YamiNogun]

i have question! does firefox 4 has removes the stupid plugincontainer.exe?

[kreeddem]

@YamiNogun I hate that, I had to uninstall and reinstall FF3.5
