    I have no idea, at any rate it's not that bad after you get somewhat used to it.

    If you truly believe you need to pick a mobile phone that "says something" about your personality, don't bother. You don't have a personality. A mental illness, maybe, but not a personality. [Charlie Brooker] ScrewTurn Wiki, Software Localization Tools & Services and My Blog

    I don't want to have to get used to blurry text. Is it on all sites or just certain ones, like IE9? In IE9 on all the sites that looked bad there was a compatibility icon I could click that always fixed it (which makes me wonder why they didn't go into compatibility mode when it detected a website that needed it, which they obviously can do). I just migrated to Chrome from Firefox 3.x (after a brief dalliance with IE9) and can't bring myself to try Firefox 4. I have no loyalty, I just want stuff to work. It's a race to see who can piss me off the least.

        Don't worry, I just checked - there is no blur here (I have all font anti aliasing disabled in the OS, and apparently Firefox actually cares about those settings, unlike IE9 etc) edit: Ok I updated my cross-domain referrer blocker add-on to work on firefox 4 (the only change is the maxversion which is now set to 4.*) - it still works, I tested it by googling 'show referrer' and clicking the first link (it shows the google search url with the add-on is disabled, it says "None" with the add-on enabled) Maybe I'm a touch paranoid, but I don't like if sites know what I've been up to. Anyone interested?

          Installed it, liking it so far, although the text antialiasing is blurred (very much like IE9). Opinions?

          Weird rendering issues (viewport gets transparent while refreshing). other than that, nothing yet.

          Watched code never compiles.

              Still twice slower than IE 9 on startup, I have habit of closing windows when I am not using it. and Firefox takes reasonable time to start up even with SSD. IE 9 is very fast. but there are still many websites which will not work/work properly on IE9 so I have to use Fixfox. But the text looks fine to me. (This might be graphics card driver issue, as now everything is using "Hardware Accelaration" :rolleyes: )

                  It might also be a driver issue since if your video driver isn't supported (or is blacklisted[^]), you won't get hardware-accelerated drawing. So I don't see any change at all on my laptop (out-of-date Intel driver), but on my desktop I get smoother (not really blurry, but obviously different) rendering.

                    Thanks for the link. :thumbsup: Sadly most of the users will not get graphics accelaration as they require very newer drivers. (trust me 5 version older drivers are very new to most of the users.) and all the browsers right now focusing on this perticular feature when advertising. :)

                      Been running it all the way through the beta process. No problems with antialiasing here, although I may have antialiased eyes.

                        It's obvious where they got a lot of their inspiration. Cough. <google chrome>. Cough. I'm glad to see the UI change though. After using Chrome for the last several months I've found the FF 3.x UI clunky and bloated.
