Firefox 4

Echo :-). I downloed 4 this afternoon and agree, slate grey and all the familar buttons at the wrong end of the screen. Have you worked out how to get the tab specific most recent history back ?. Very small tab in near the top left corner that listed all the recent pages with one mouse click. May go back to 3 if I can't sort that out, but am also watching task manager to see if they have finally got rid of all the memory leaks that 3 had. Shouldn't complain though. Still arguably the best browser and still free...

Regards,

Same here. It takes a bit of getting used to.

I agree with you both. It might be worthwhile for others who have not "upgraded" to wait for the fallout corrections.

View/toolbars/customize lets you fix some of this stuff. I dragged home, reload, and stop over to the left of the url box, and added some separators, so it's not quite so awful.

I have the full toolbar file/edit/view/history/etc visible, somehow, but that's apparently not the default.

I unclicked [view/toolbars/tabs on top] to get it the way I'm used to it. The tabs are all now shades of grey, too.

Why did they make this so ugly? There is apparently an addon that fixes some of this. What a nuisance.

John

Mine didn't lose tabs, just Home, etc, were on wrong end. Right click on tool-bar, click Customize, then drag to your satisfaction.

Lost a FEW cookies, but not all... sorta strange :-(

Also lost my Personal World Clock Settings, but not the Tab itself :-(

My colors didn't really change significantly. (Yahoo is an "unclick" option at install... requires paying attention :-) ...Jim Thompson

I did the same. They also swapped the order of the right click accessed "open in new tab" and "open in new window", PITA to retrain the brain.

I found it flakier in opening PDFs in a window (using Acrobat). Might be an issue related to my proxy, maybe not. I don't find it more pleasant to use in the default-- but there's a check box for moving the tabs back where they belong.

I don't know why they don't let you close the last tab left with an x in the corner- it's inconsistent.

Help a dummy like me out Sphero, where do I find that check box? Thanks

Sheesh, under tools, options, there is a "tabs" tab. Lots of checkboxes.

Sheeesh! :(

I found that one ok, I was under the impression is was possible to swap the tool bar (home / reload / fwd / back buttons) location so it is above the tabs. Thanks anyway.

Wrong, as always. It's view/toolbars/tabs on top

Cheers - fixed my prob.

You can put them on the left, and put the site string on the right. Maybe make the tabs fall in place from right to left. The eyes just don't want to look "up there" on the left side, for some reason. It is as if we have discounted it being there "that's where the menus are..."

maybe we could cause 4.1 to be released.

They have to think of _something_ so that all those piles of scriptkiddies that they call "programmers" have something to do to justify their paychecks. And they get away with it, because Aunt Tillie doesn't know any better.

Cheers! Rich

I doubt that you know much at all, if anything at all, about Mozilla.

Thank you for your infinite, and oh-so-helpful insight, Mr. Talleywhacker.

Feh.

Hey! You are right and I was wrong. Sorry about that.

There should be a checkbox in options to keep the interface the same as it was in the last version, something which Microsoft should also learn about.

Jon

The guys that develop for Mozilla are not being paid for it, idiot.

How the f*ck do you justify your paycheck if your grasp of reality is so absent? Consider your Tally whacked.
