Oh! and FWIW.. since updating to the b12 version, either the font issue with that M$ direct 2D problem(or whatever it was called) is either minimal, gone or now I'm simply used to it.. but as that link implies(that Richard posted), page rendering is faster when you leave the D2D config file enabled, and slower when disabled.
I have got up to 87 or 89fps on that spinning rendering link thingy, but that in itself isn't important, page render times are visually quicker in many cases(compared to v3) but that also depends on connection speed(my cable connection is more than adequately for that).
I only just uninstalled v3 and am now running only 4 beta on this PC. Have yet to check out how well/fast it runs on my old problematic PC, that my son uses now.
The current beta of Firefox has certainly improved alot. The earlier versions from as early as a month ago were flakey with credential holding.
I used to use Flock alot for the way it handled social networking and RSS feeds, but with the improvements of Firefox and the transition of Flock toward a Chromium based browser (which does not allow mouse gestures on all page types) - I found I havn't opened Flock for a long time now.
It looks like I am going to make a full time return to the Firefox fold.

FF4 doesnt like some embedded video. I visited the www.news.com.au site yesterday, and found in FF4 I cannot view or watch their videos. They are just big blank black boxes on each page. Opened in FF3.6 and they are fine.

Its not like we are dealing with old platforms (XP/IE6), but the latest and greatest.The attack successfully bypassed DEP (data execution prevention) and ASLR (address space layout randomization), two key protection mechanisms built into the newest versions of Windows.
