The editors didn't like
Panorama tabs are eye candy rather than a useful interface and the improved performance isn't competitive
Abstract: Mozilla Firefox 4.0 is one of the toughest competitors ever for Google Chrome, as it is one of the fastest and safest web browsers of all time. That's because this version brings safety to a superior level, and more than that, it comes with a whole new in...

The fastest Firefox yet, Peerless tab management, Excellent sync, Improved add-on management, Protects against failing plugins
Not the prettiest, No faster than rivals, Tabs don't get separate processes, Rivals are evolving faster, The Mac UI doesn't quite work
Firefox 4 is a vast improvement, and if you're a power user there's lots here to tempt you: App Tabs are superb, Tab Groups are useful and the enormous add-ons library covers every conceivable eventuality. Being able to sync open tabs is handy, and enc...
