Works fine here, and I have a refresh button to the left of the search box. Didn't spot it straight away.

I'll take that advice ;)

I had Google's Chrome on my machine for all of 20 minutes.

I'm using Firefox 4 and I love it so far. The app tabs was the only thing I was missing from Chrome. :)

Review Attempt #2:

#1 complaint: It messes up the KVR 'what's new widget' formatting compared to 3.6. Unforgivable.

#2: Font anti-aliasing was messed up badly by default.

#3-1000:

Bizarrely, the right search bar is non-functional. I'm assuming it's because it decided I've searched the entire internet already and there's nothing new going on.

It still crashes with 30+ tabs open while using a little over a gig of RAM. A little better than 3.6, but barely. When's the 64bit edition arriving? Maybe then it could use 2 gigs before crashing.

The irony of moving the Refresh button over to the right side of the address bar when IE9 finally moves it over to the proper spot on the left is not lost on me.

Some of my fav themes and plugins are incompatible. And personas still suck. Oh, well, maybe this HTML5 thing will be worth the pain.

Had high hopes for improved stability and more accessible and extended user tweaking from 3.6. Hopes dashed.

Can't wait for Firefox 5. I like the odd releases much better. FF2 was full of hurt.

Firefox is still my main browser. But, 4 might push me into becoming an Opera lover. IE9 is much better than IE8. So was FF2. Chrome doesn't count, because I won't knowingly install spyware.

I miss 3.6 already. Without NASA Night Launch, the world is a brighter, uglier place. :cry:

And in a delicious twist of self-aware browsers - it crashed while posting my rant about it. Does this mean Apple is buying out Mozilla?

It shouldn't! I use Firefox 4 and KVR works fine. Try a Ctrl+R to force the page to reload and see if that fixes it.

I'm happy so far, no issues. I like that you can remove the menu bar, that gives more space for viewing pages.

Post

And what's so new about that?
I had a 1-line menu bar with menu, nav buttons, bookmarks, address bar, search bar etc. in v2.x already. (no add-ons used.)

Really? Hmm, I didn't know I could do that in v.3.

Post

Yup, you can.
Right-click somewhere on an empty space on one of the bars, or the "go to" button, and a small popup menu will show up, where you can select which bars you want to see and which you don't.
At the bottom it says "Customize..." (or whatever it says in English; German version here) and that lets you move stuff about, so you can put the menu, all the navigation buttons, the "bookmark bar", the address bar, etc. all (for example) in the menu bar and then select just the menu bar to be shown.

This is mine in v3.x

(In the office, of course. The one at home looks much more poweruser. ;) )

The Menu, BTW, is hidden in the little skull icon on the left. It's an add-on called "TinyMenu". All the other rearrangements are "native" Firefox.

No it shouldn't, but it does. Ctrl-R, F5, F******5. Re-boot, re-install. It all ends in this:

If you have a tip about the broken search bar - love to hear it. Or failing that just pm me if something new happens on the net. :D

Have you got the page text zoomed? Ctrl+0 would reset it to the default.

Nopers. That's at normal zoom. The nice thing is - it looks that way at any zoom level. Consistent bugs.

I expect it it's one of my treasured plugins like Greasemonkey or MeasureIt that is troubling FF4. That or there's a GPU display bug with my particular rig.
