Don't you think this Firefox 4 Beta 2 runs quicker
than the other Firefoxes?

    It's OK to have more than one version installed at once.

    I like it so far, seems to be a bit quicker on my oldish laptop.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

  • Hi,

    would it not cause a conflict?

    Would it list my bookmarks, or would I need to import them?

    That usually happens, it takes a while for the programmers to catch up.

    I think they share the same profile, so probably not good to run them both together.
    I haven't needed to import bookmarks or preferences at all.

    I recommend an add-on called Xmarks. You install it, create an account and it syncronises your bookmarks with their server should you reinstall or log in on another computer.

    To simply move bookmarks though, exporting then importing an HTML file works a treat.

    Pretty average. Mozilla are going to lose a lot of market share to Google with this release. Will they be able to stem the loss, probably not.

    Minimally - but I've binned it until the Google Toolbar is available. Fat lot of good bringing out a beta if all the usual extensions you use don't work...
