When I select a drop down menu - Feedback, say, the drop down flickers in and out of visibility as I move down the menu. I can select an item, even though I can't see it, but it is hard to use menus I'm not familiar with. Same thing happens in the address bar with the drop down address 'help' - the bar constantly flickers in and out, and, in this case, when I attempt to use the drop down, the menu items disappear just as my mouse approaches them, then reappear as the mouse moves to the next item.

I have tried this with all addons (I don't have many) disabled. I have tried the nightly build. Nothing has fixed this problem so far.

Too bad, since I'm definitely liking the speed and the new look.

I would consider this a showstopper. I'm amazed that it hasn't been reported before.

In FF 3.x two commands: "open in window" and "open in new tab" have got just this order. But - I don't know why - in FF 4.x the order is reversed. Every time when I click right button of my mouse and select the second option - where in FF 3.x I've got "open in new tab" I can see web site in a new window, not in a new tab.

How can I change it? I tried editor menu and I edited userchrome.css, but it's not working or I don't know how to change it. Without it I must uninstall FF 4.x because it's unusable.

I have given the new FF4 betas a shot but I really hate the lack of a status bar. I would think that the fact over 32,000+ people using a BETA have downloaded an extension that emulates the old Status Bar is a pretty clear indicator that this was a UI mistake. Leave it off be default, fine. Bury the option in About:Config... fine. But don't remove the option entirely, this has completely messed up the UI experience for me.

I don't like the Chrome UI and I LIKED that Firefox felt different... why are we making it a clone? If you remove my options then I may as well just use Chrome then since it'll feel the same. FF has always been about choice, and it seems that has been forgotten in FF4. I for one am highly disappointed.

It's great that the menu can now be displayed in the tab bar with tabs-on-top, but it would be even better if the titlebar itself could be hidden! I believe this is already the case on FF4/Windows 7. Maybe I have just not discovered how to turn on this feature?

This condition showed up on a Sudoku site

http://www.websudoku.com/?level=2  

If I enter a non numeric character (\) in one of the boxes, the box gets outlined in red and when I hover the cursor there is a message saying "Please match the requested format". This did not happen in 3.6 and is very distracting so I would like to know if it is an option that can be turned off.

Thanks

After installing 4.0b5 i noticed that the Add A New Tab button is moved all the way to the right (right next to the panorama button) and is not right after the last opened tab. After opening enough tabs to fill out my url bar the Add A New Tab button suddenly went in a position that was right after the last opened tab. That effect lasted until i closed Firefox, after what the Add A New Tab button was again at the far right. Is this how it suppose to work or is it a bug ? Since i would do anything to have the Add A New Tab button right after my last opened tab is there a way to make it stay right after the last opened tab or ill have to wait for a another version ?

The bookmarks that were previously there still have their icons, but anything new will not have one. I tried both FF 3 and 4, both of which have the problem, which leads me to believe it's on my end, not firefox's

The font-rendering in Firefox 4 RC doesn't look quite right; the fonts are too light and seem a bit blurry. With hardware acceleration disabled, they look much better, but I'd rather not disable hardware acceleration if possible since I would lose out on the benefits of it. Here are some comparisons: Internet explorer and Firefox 4 RC font-rendering and Firefox 3.6.15 and Firefox 4 RC font-rendering You can also see how the spacing is a bit odd with Firefox 4 RC.

This is on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit with a Radeon HD5850 (latest drivers) if it makes any difference.

Is my only option to disable hardware acceleration?

In Windows7 the user can drag a maximised window from one monitor to the next by dragging the titlebar. However, Firefox now places tabs in the titlebar. This means that when I try and drag my FF window to the other monitor I end up dragging a tab instead of the whole FF window.

There should really be a few pixel gap between the top of the tabs and the top of the titlebar to allow for dragging the window.

Under Windows 7, it was possible in Ffx 4.0b8 to see a preview of all tabs in the windows taskbar and select a tabs from the preview to show it. It was usefull, for example, only to check if the iGoogle page updates and there is new mail or this kind of things.

The taskbar icons looked like several pages when several tabs where opened.

Now, in 4.0b9, all this disappears, I can only see the preview of the actual active tabs and not the others tabs. I can't select an another tabs from the windows taskbar. The icon in the taskbar doesn't look like several page when several tabs are opened

Win 7 64 bit FF 4 b12.

Why does the return key not work after typing a url? Its annoying to have to use the mouse to click on the "go" button.

Also there is no "Check for updates" button, not so much for FF but for addons.

Thirdly, the addons bar does not show my addons eg Flashgot, Addblock.

Thnx
