Whatever the tab organizer thing is called, I like it. (the box on the far right of the tab bar)

I'm not shocked or surprised, actually. I've been using the FF4 Beta for a while now. :P

Yes, they did change a lot of stuff and I think it's much better now.

I love how Firebug gets a button.

Before people start nitpicking, remember that you can always use other browsers and that you had ample time (and still have for future versions) to actually suggest changes or point bugs.  Criticizing on a non related forum won't fix an issue.

So, we're only suppose to say positive things and cut the discussion in half?

Is it any better memory-wise or speed-wise?  Firefox seems to be getting more and more bloaty over the last few years. 

(Also, does it annoy anyone else that it seems to want to auto-update like all the time?)


Edit:  And did they hide the menu behind another button?  Why on earth would they do that?
This is my primary stand and motivator to update. And yes, the insistent upgrades are just as annoying as Windows Update. They tend to sometimes upgrade without your full consent at times too. It gets annoying. Makes me want to keep a security scanner thing (like Avast) open just to make sure I'm not being hijacked.

Seems marginally faster, thats certainly nice.

Still cant turn off fancy sliding animations and such, thats less nice.

And am I the only one annoyed by the flaming orange button in the upper left?

Like said earlier, its fairly easy to remove the button and have menus instead.
click on the button >options >menu bar.

Thank goodness. This was pretty much the only reason I was holding out updating. I'll try it now.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

The interface to me is... ehh. I prefer the FF3 interface. I wish there was a bar at the bottom, it just felt more right, now it just feels like the window's actually going off the screen. And I don't like having tabs above the navigation bar.

Ed: And there's a way to change that: right-click and turn off Tabs on Top.

My edit-foo is faster than your post-foo.

And the add-on bar option doesn't do anything at all for me.

Also, I really wish there was a way to disable tab dragging. It's way too sensitive for my tastes.

Also2: Since when was it possible to extend the area you type your posts in, especially sideways?

Edit: Oh hey! Look at this! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ For those of us that liked the status bar.

Meh. Most of these things were already in, and have been in Google Chrome for some time. [/fanboyism]
