Anyone notice pdfs not loading anymore...wtf. I don't know if it's a FF problem of adobe, but, given the crappyness of flash in FF3 it might be on their side
And changing the position of Open in New Tab and Open in New Window is going to take some getting used to...

It wasn't a complaint as much as it was something that I noticed. There are many "S" icons instead of something creative.TheEastonator said:

Something similar to AutoHideStatusbar, which is now missing from the main add-on site, is the one thing I need. I would like a button to toggle the status bar on and off.
Use this extension to remove the navigation bar when on an app tab:

This is useful so that you don't accidentally navigate away from what you have the app tab set for.

I knew I should have shut up. I've been praising FF4 for pretty much everything it's done but now with the latest "click video to make it play"-bullshit Youtube's been doing, the videos won't load.
Is anyone else having these problems? It works on IE9.
edit: this is such a fucking weird ass problem. SOME videos seem to works (maybe one out of ten), rest just won't load when I click the play button. After I downloaded the latest Flash on IE9, every video seems to be loading properly.
edit 2: even more weird shit. When I watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmlKLHdRi2c
It's not working. But when I click on his profile and it links me directly to the video through his channel, it works!

My God, this is fucking weird.

You know what bugs me? Two things:
1) Firefox still doesn't shut down properly after closing it. Yes, even using the "Exit" button. It hangs around in your processes for a random amount of time until it decides to shut down. So if you try opening Firefox again it says it's already running. Not sure why they're not able to let you shut down Firefox when you tell it to.
2) "Back button history" - now instead of having a separate arrow to click you have to hold down the back button to see a list of previous pages...that sucks :\ But I suppose I can get used to it.

What do you mean "click-to-play"? YouTube videos still play automatically for me as usual. The video works fine for me too, using both links.
Edit: Oh you mean WebM videos.

That's the weird thing. What's WebM videos? Some videos seem to play without having to be clicked on, but videos like this (example):Treefingers said:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an6aySEv6_c&feature=feedu
requires you to click on it...
edit: just found out, if I have "Private Browsing" enabled, I can watch all the videos. WTF!!!!

Sounds like some sort of addon behavior. Your link goes automatically (to an ad) for me.Yoshichan said:

If you've joined the HTML5 trial you'll get WebM videos instead of Flash videos (I just tested it & only some show up as WebM, the rest load fine using Flash though). See if you've joined it:

And try leaving the trial.
I don't know why you're getting any videos that you have to click to play, everything plays automatically for me.

So this HTML5 bullshit is just another Youtube experiment? I haven't signed up for it... in fact, when I click the link in your post, it says:
"You are not currently in the HTML5 trial."
Are you using FF4?

There are also themes (Strata Reloaded is pretty good) that give you back the little arrow thingy.upJTboogie said:

Ah okay, so it's not a WebM problem then. Yeah I'm on FF4 (OS X) here, all the links you posted work fine for me. Weird..
Edit: Do you have any extensions? I would try disabling each one seperately to see if any of them are causing it. Otherwise I have no clue.

God damn it, just disabled everything including ad block and thought it might be it... apparently not.

edit: Gah, I've tried everything right now. I don't wanna browse in private browsing to be able to watch YT videos... Google Chrome INC?
Another thing:
When you switch tabs sometimes (mainly to tabs you haven't visited for a whole, like 15 min or so) to a graphic intensive page, do you notice a "flash"? Like the browser rendering the page again, instead of the page just being there. It's very quick but old Firefox didn't do this. I assume it has something to do with the hardware acceleration stuff.
I notice this a lot on pages with dark backgrounds.

It's most likely a YouTube problem. I had a problem where it was rendering videos differently if I went directly to the video page compared to when I watched it on someone's profile. If I right clicked a video on the page for that video, settings was grayed out and scrolling was shit on the page. Watching the same video on someone's profile, I could click settings and scrolling was perfectly fine. At some point, it just fixed itself without any updates to Firefox or anything. Try clearing your cookies for YouTube and clearing your cache and see what happens. You could also try uninstalling flash using the official uninstaller and installing the latest version.Yoshichan said:

I really hope they stick to their quicker release schedule because they've already sped up stuff like this on the nightly builds. They just recently started using a new library for JPEG compression/decompression which is at least 2x faster so switching between image heavy tabs is a lot quicker now.Korey said:
Finally got 4 looking good at work, only problem is the fact that it doesn't remember my visited websites. For instance, if I type in www.engadget.com and hit enter it goes right to the website, but next time I start up Firefox, that website isn't there when I start typing eng... BUT the links I clicked around on the site are there (different news stories ect). Issue is the main website doesn't show up AT ALL, even though the main website is visited 5x-6x more than any of the stories. Sucks, but until that is fixed (already did a total uninstall and reinstall) I'll be sticking to 3 at home (even though I've had 3 crash twice in the past week on OSX while surfing gaf... I think it is some ad that is doing that though).

I wouldn't be surprised if your profile is corrupted in some way at this point or one of your extensions is causing this. It's never a good idea to go back to an older version using the same profile and I don't think uninstalling Firefox removes your profiles. Try creating a new profile and see if you run into the same problem.rhfb said:

won't happen unless they remove the page title from the top center of the window.kaskade said:One little thing I wish FF4 would do that chrome does.
A little space saving.
which I hope they don't.
sounds like a plug-in issue. but I guess if you need all the plug-ins, I'd wait.rawd said:

does anyone use the flashgot extension with flasget?
I never had problems when I was in 3.6, but with 4.0 some times; when I use the mouse's middle button to open a link a new tab, it tries to download the link, instead of just opening, its annoying because the link isnt even a file, and it happens randomly. This happens in both my work PC and my Home PC.

Two problems that are driving me nuts. Can anyone help?
1. When I'm filling out a form (user/pass, for example) and press enter for it to go through, it doesn't let me do that on some sites.
2. The address bar ONLY shows the latest address you've gone to, even if you switch tabs. For example, if I go to yahoo.com after neogaf.com, I can switch back to the neogaf tab and it'll still say yahoo.com on the address bar.
Any fixes for either issue? I've tried disabling extensions, etc. and nothing works.

right-click any empty part of the toolbar until this menu pops up, click customize, and you'll be able to add/remove or move anything in the toolbar.

There is only one option for the bookmarks toolbar, which is the items in it (and this button), that button only appears when you disable the menu bar and have the firefox button on.

I've never experienced this, so to test it I just clicked the X to close and then immediately clicked my FF shortcut. It loaded with no problem. I then tried again with six tabs open and it said FF was already running, but when I closed that and reclicked the shortcut it loaded. So in my experience we're talking like one second of wait time.Korey said:
