why not just install gfxCardStatus and switch to the onboard graphics as there's probably some security updates in FF4 that you might need. Just food for thought.

Edit: I don't use FF so I'm not aware of the issues.

I've noticed that ever since I upgrade to ff4 m computer runs slowers and it take up alot of processor space.

How much space does your processor have that it takes up so much of it???

There's an easier solution - in FF4, go to prefs, advanced, untick 'use hardware acceleration when available'.

Or use gfxcardstatus.

so that is the reason that my battery empty so fast. I have only 60 cycles...

I think that make sense. For a few weeks I use FF4, on my MBP, and from then my battery empty so fast. I did not understand why, what about it.

Chrome 11, made me problems. Chrome 10 it work very well in the past. Now, the new Chrome is causes many crashes...

Safari won`t sync nothing...

So what in the hell i have to use...
