Downloading it now. It's 11mb.

Well don't know what happened there. It downloaded, then said it would be installed at next re-start. I closed and re-started, or rather tried to with nothing obviously happening. then finally get a box showing FF is checking for compatibility with settings and add-ons.
No other messages, that box closes, then nothing so I manually start FF, it took ages, lost all my Persona settings and is still only version 3.6.15.

I had to completely uninstall FF including personal folder and setting to get FF 4 to work, installing it over the top of 3.6.15 caused problems back button would not work other items would not work. A complete total uninstall of 3.6.15 Then a com-[lete new install and everything works fine except I had to put in all my extensions themes/personnas and various other tweaks.

Mine was easy peasy, lemon squeezy except for the Themes I had to change and adjust my Aniweather toolbar.

It went perfecly smooth for me, too. I updated each beta, then finally the RC, and now have 4.0, w/o reinstalling anything.

I like it, some of my addons changed a little (only 7 of them), but it looks good to go. For now, I'm using it on my XP notebook, as it's the best browser for that OS.

Looks as if I should do a clean install then. I'll get around to it.
Current FF does me ok for now.

Well trying FF4 the first time seemed to have killed my existing FF at next time I started. Had to delete everything to get it to re-install, tried 4, didn't like it. Change for changes sake imho. So deleted everything again and went back to 3.6. FF4 hung in any case saying the FF server was offline.

FF4 installed/upgraded without a hitch on my PC, although I had very few plugins installed from FF3.6.

I really like FF4, it's much better than previous versions - especially in terms of layout (IMO) .
