We came up with the collection of great add-ons too that only works with Firefox 4 as we know that every new version of Firefox has compatibility issues with the old-version add-ons. Firefox 4 is undoubtedly fast than its previous version with some new great features and totally revamped look. I am sure loyal users have already played with this new version of Firefox and pretty much happy with it. However, other than fast speed and better looks, it has some quirks which has been reportedly issued by some of its users.
