> Curious... why is FF4 so evil? Don't want to get into a big off-topic thing, so let me just stick with:
· breaks JREs · various kinds of memory corruption · laughably choppy rendering with some video cards Since we run a web app and are known to have been OS- and browser-agnostic for many years, we had a chance of our users trusting us on this one. A couple of months ago, we sent out a mail blast to our (then-current) userbase telling them firmly not to upgrade, for their own protection as well as ours. This was after some support tickets resulted in multi-hour troubleshooting/restore sessions (a couple of local house calls, even) that we really can't afford to do in quantity! Of course, now we have new users, and many had already upgraded before they started with us. So it's a losing battle unless we can get them to go with the 5 beta, which in our tests (same lab hardware) is not prone to disaster (or at least not the same disaster). YMMV, but FF 4 is a clearcut dud from our perspective. -- S.
