People that use a mouse don't always have their hands on the keyboard.

Anyway, GavinGT can solve his problem by not having the stop button to the right of the reload button.

 

[JaseC]

Maybe it's because I just woke up, but looking at the letter e, a, t, and r (and their capital letter variations) on your first screen. It's the same font? Looks more like a difference between the rendering between FF & IE.

Erm that looks like the exact same font to me... just different font smoothing.

It look completely different to me.

uncheck "use hardware acceleration when available".

That did it. Cheers.

I dont have the title of the webpage at the top of the browser anymore, whats this about? I was running Twentyten (not compatible) and removed it but its still not there. The new skin actually looks a lot like twentyten with the orange tab in the corner and everything, its like they stole it.

So anyway how do I get it back? I dont even know what site I'm on right now, is this GAF??

This is what you look like right now.

Thanks, I think its a downgrade from Twentyten 3.6 visually though. There is TwentyTen for 4.0 now but its not as good, but if you want the translucent tabs its an option.

[Souldriver]

Anyone else have this thing that when they watch a flash video (Youtube, Vimeo, ...), that when they switch/close tabs or close FF altogether, the last frame from the video is visible for a fraction of a second. Even though you've closed the video-tab ages ago and surfed to countless of other sites/tabs?

Such a weird little thing. I close FF and there is a short glimpse of the video I watched an hour earlier.

Just upgraded to 4... I know I'm a bit late, but this is so sexy.

Firefox 4 is a damn mess when it comes to my browsing habits. I can't customize the toolbar the way I want, as they've gotten rid of the option to add certain buttons ("New Tab", "Stop", "Reload"). I managed to get the Reload button back on the left where I want it, but it refuses to show the Reload and Stop buttons simultaneously, as the Reload button becomes the Stop buton while a page is loading. This is infuriating for me, as I don't want to wait until a page is loaded before being able to hit Reload.

Already addressed.

I also like to have a "New Tab" button on my navigation bar, but they got rid of that for whatever reason.

You can put the "New Tab" button there, but you can only have one at a time. If you want it on more places, you'll have to find an extension; dunno about any.

Also, I don't like how I have to right-click the Back button in order to skip back multiple pages.

If you'd rather left-click in order to skip back multiple pages, you can try one of these extensions: 1, 2.

[BoboBrazil]

I'm kind of scared to try it, but when I went to about firefox in 4.1 it just gave me the option to install 5.0 beta. It doesn't say anything else about it...

 

[Polari]

Fuckin' spooky.

Fuckin' spooky.

Yup.

Nice try but my index finger is on the scroll wheel.

Firefox 5.0 Beta available:

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/

If you choose now to be (or were already before) on the Beta channel, you'll always be updated to the Beta version of Firefox from now on, instead of the release version.

But you can change that at any time:

 

[Sharp]

Nope. Hands firmly on the keyboard where they belong.

Yeah, I didn't realise that I was still signed up to the beta, since the last beta turned into the final product.

So I'm now on 5.0 beta - and my Download Statusbar and Tineye plugins don't work

Still, I'll stick with the beta for the moment, although I don't know what's meant to be different.

There aren't many changes, so both extensions will probably work if you just disable the compatibility check (go to "about:config" and right-click to add new Boolean: "extensions.checkCompatibility.5.0" = false). Or you can wait for them to be updated.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Finally decided to get 4.0, so awesome.

The new look took some getting used to but there is more space for displaying web pages so it's awesome.
Definitely noticably faster than the previous version too, they always say it is but for once it's noticable.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Anyone else on FF 4.0.1 having trouble with the URL/image/quote/etc. buttons when posting? They are completely broken for me, and FF seems to register them only as images :|

Mouse gestures are quite handy. My favorite move is to press and hold the right mouse button then the left mouse button to go back, and the opposite to go forward.

 

[Sober]

Just curious, because I installed 4.0 on my laptop but I'm not particularly liking it, so I stuck with 3.6 on my desktop. Have they changed it, or are there extensions that allow me to keep the title bar (not really a fan of the Chrome style with tabs there; I know I can move those) while getting rid of the menu bar, because the new version refuses to let me do that (things like file, edit, etc -- since I can bring it up by pressing Alt)? Because I haven't found a proper solution to FF4.0 yet.

No need for an addon, just right click the toolbar and check "Menu Bar" and it'll give you the File, Edit, etc plus the title bar.

Edit: Oh I see you don't want the menu bar, sorry.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Do you have a screen shot?

They look perfectly normal, but nothing happens when I try to click them. They work fine in Google Chrome, but seem to be borked in FF 4.0.1, for some reason

 

[LQX]

Is FIREFOX 4 suppose to change how the text looks? Just upgraded and now my text looks a bit smaller and and blurry. Something is definitely off.

I go to options, then advanced and uncheck use hardware acceleration, should fix it.

 

[Vipershark]

So...
when is ff gonna get rid of the unnecessary search bar and integrate it into the address bar like everything else?

Worked like a charm - thanks!

NEVER!

You can use Omnibar if your sick it an want a unified address bar.

 

[hateradio]

Do you mean the BBCode buttons? You probably have JavaScript disabled.

Worked like a charm - thanks!

You can also install the Compatibility Reporter. It should make them all available.

You can install this Prospector extension.

I posted this in the Chrome thread earlier, but NeoGAF: Quick Quote, Reply, and Edit has been updated. If anyone uses it.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

The BBCode buttons, yeah. It's not JavaScript though, just checked and it's enabled.

The address bar already work as a search bar so you can just remove the search bar yourself.

There are custom gestures on the site that let you jump to the top or bottom of a page. There's no going back after that.

Hey guys, I'm running the latest stable Firefox on OSX and I've come across two random weird things yesterday. First of all, for some reason, whenever I click somewhere on a page, a blinking line will appear (like when you click somewhere where you can type.) Ex: http://cl.ly/6ycC It happens no matter where I click.

Also, I usually use Command + up or down arrow to navigate to the top or bottom of a page. However, as of yesterday, when I do command up it goes up, but it also goes up when I hit command down. What gives?

You probably accidentally hit F7 which turned on caret browsing. Hit F7 again to turn it off.

 

[Oyashiro]

Unfortunately, that did not fix anything.

Might be a different key on Mac then. Try this:

Oh and as Long Island Nurse points out, pressing F7 isn't the only way. You can also type in "about:config" in the address bar and then type in "caret" in the filter box and simply double click to change the option from "true" (which means turn on caret browsing) to "false" (which means turn off caret browsing). Thanks Long Island Nurse!

I have exactly the same problem, its a pain in the ass when clicking a search bar, sometimes i just click the outline of it :/

And pressing f7 does not help, I even reinstalled (I'm on W7)

Might be a different key on Mac then. Try this:

I will try this when I get home. Hope it works

[robox]

problem: windows 7 + firefox, running in an unmaximized window. the frame bezel is changing around as i mouse over links. the position of where the light and dark meet for the chrome effect is jumping around and it's quite distracting.

not sure if it's a firefox problem, but so far it's only program where i've noticed it.

 

[hateradio]

The BBCode buttons, yeah. It's not JavaScript though, just checked and it's enabled.

You can always take a look at the Error Console.

I'm having this same problem and I didn't even realize it before I saw your post, since I usually browse maximized.

Heh, I have the same problem and I noticed only four days ago since I normally don't use Windows.

i've been a Chrome user for a while now.

But now I'm using FF4 to post this, and I'm loving it to be honest.

Has there been a word of Chromifox for FireFox 4 ?
