Firefox and LibreOffice

Postby billhedrick » Sat Jan 15, 2011 12:58 pm

I wonder if anyone has played with Firefox 4? I went to download it and it's not a deb yet. Also I am reading a little about an OpenOffice branch called LibreOffice. Apparently it is going to replace OO in 11.04, has anyone looked at it yet? Any real differences?

LibreOffice is mostly the same as OpenOffice. But it's a community project, not controled by Oracle like Openoffice.

I barely notice the difference. I have used Chrome and Chromium - don't like how they handle the tool br. I think 4.0 is fine
