I downloaded it, looks real nice, seems to have a few compatibility issues, but other than that, its great.
But the reason I posted was, I found this article about their mkt share and my guess is the author is an idiot that didn't do his research.
Check out this little piece.

"Despite the rapid uptake, downloads have been slower for version 4 than its predecessor."

I downloaded it as a beta a month ago.
And for those that downladed the beta, those numbers were also in the millions, but weren't included in the total because the completed product hadn't been released yet.
I would be willing to bet the number is closer to 6 million.
I could be wrong. ::)

Firefox 4 is OK, but I am not a big fan of the new consolidated menu-bar and tabbing system.

You guys ever try Google Chrome? Not as many bells and whistles, but it's fast and light...

If I knew how, I'd revert back, too many issues yet.

To be blunt, screw Google, they simply can't be trusted.
Besides, they backed Hussein.

That's exactly why I haven't even tried Chrome.

I'll be glad when a better search engine knocks them off their perch.

Chromium is open source. There are several other browsers based off the same code with Google's data mining crap removed. SRWare Iron is one of those.

As for FireFox 4, it now looks like Chrome only it doesn't have the speed.
