Some people have expressed surprise that I am still using Firefox
3.6.17 and have not yet looked at FF v4.[1] So, has anyone on the list
moved up yet? If so some questions please,

In OpenSUSE Firefox 4   is now the base Firefox inclusion. As I am not
adventurous in using, mainly browsing to customer sites searching for
documents, I see no notable advantage over past 3.x.x versions for my
usage.

I have found FF4 to feel slightly faster and "smoother". This matters when on relatively slow 1.6GHz Atoms. Javascript is certianly faster, although not as fast as Chrome for the sites I visit (mostly gigaset VoIP phone interfaces which have a stupidly slow interface)
