I didn't notice this issue with earlier betas of FF 4 so I guess the problem came up when I upgraded from version FF 4.0 Beta 4 to Beta 5. I don't have this problem on Chrome 7.0.517.0 dev or IE 8.

Just an FYI: My video card is an XFX Radeon HD 5850 running the ATI Catalyst version 10.8 driver.

I've totally tricked out my Firefox 4's appearance like this. Did it with a bunch of addons and about 4-5 Stylish styles (note: The add-on bar auto-hides).

Problem is, when I start the browsers, sometimes the settings seem to have changed: the bookmarks go back to the bookmarks bar, the awesomebar goes beside the navigation and home buttons, tabs go bottom, and worst of all, going to customize shows all the add-on buttons missing, like the StumbleUpon one in the upper-right.

I've saved a copy of the localstore.rdf with the settings I want, and whenever the above problem happens, I overwrite it. If it happens again, I double-overwrite the file and it gets ironed out. Thing is, I don't know when the problem is going to come up, and what, if anything, is causing it.

I'd like it if the settings in the localstore.rdf were frozen and didn't change unless I specifically made any changes to it (from Firefox). Any ideas? I tried read-onlying the file while using Firefox, but it seemed to remove the read-only tag when I checked it later. Will try it again if anyone thinks it works.

When the update to ff 4 version 8 happened the add-on bar moved from the bottom lower right to the lower left of the the browser and I cannot find any feature that will allow me to move it back to the right side.

Using MF 4.0 Beta 8, just updated and the icon from noscript has moved from bottom right to bottom left and a small x now appears on the add-on bar. Not sure how to fix this, when i try to move it to the right corner it just moves back!!!!, as well as this the (hoping people from MF reading this) the cross on the add-on bar that is now used to close it is pointless and infuriating me at the moment, really really annoying, a question here also am i able to remove this cross from the view of my eyes???

Just installed FF 4RC1 on Win 7; nice, and seems much faster. One minor thing has me a bit perplexed: I'm missing the small "+" tabs at the end of each tab that are used to open a new tab. I just have the "new tab" icon on the toolbar. I installed also on my wife's Win 7 computer and the small "+" tabs are shown on hers. Can't seem to find an option that would control this. Anyone know the answer to this little puzzle?

For the right way to handle this issue, just look at chrome - when you close any tab with its respective x (except for the last tab), the remaining tabs stay the same size until you move your cursor away from the tab bar. if you close the last tab, they all resize so that your cursor is now over the x on the last tab.

In both cases, you're left with the easy ability to close multiple tabs by clicking in the same spot multiple times. I really wish firefox was like this but I don't see how to make it so.

I just upgraded from Firefox 3.5 (from Debian Lenny) to Firefox 4.0rc1. I noticed an annoying change in behaviour: I often use the middle click in a window to directly open an URL from the copy/paste buffer, and since the upgrade I have to it no longer accepts URLs in the form "domain.com/foo/bar": a "http://" prefix is now required. :-(

When the FireFox is maximized, all the tabs are placed to the title bar and it saves additional space for the page content. However, I do not use FF always maximized.

I wonder if there is a way to place tabs to the title bar if FF is not maximized.

On previous versions of Firefox, when the window width is less than the amount required to show all your bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar, you had a drop-down "Show more bookmark" arrow at the end of the toolbar to reveal them.

However, in this new beta it's gone, and I can't find anywhere to bring this functionality back.

(On the machine I'm writing this on, it still has Firefox 3 so I can see this feature, however on my Macbook Pro I've installed the latest version of the beta version, and it's not there)

I know the status bar was removed and an and on bar replaces it but Where did the Secure Site Icon go ? Will not use FF without it !

I cant find anything about it. ( FF 40b7 ) How do I get it back ? Not so little things like this will hurt FF. And YES I understand this is beta but come on guys/gals this is IMPORTANT ! I probably just missed something stupid but I could use some help please.

First: I LOVE the 'group your tabs'-screen.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the 'group your tabs' screen? It would be a great improvement if FF would have this, since a lot of people do almost all their browsing with their keyboard...

Thanks

Address bar and search bar are too large in Firefox 4.12 Beta. I can make one of them smaller but it makes the other one larger to refill the space. Any way to make them both smaller so I can acquire a little more real estate to add one or two more icons? I'm already using "small icons" in the "customize" section. Also, can I move the "home" icon to the left of the address bar since I use it regularly?

Firefox 4.0b.11 -

How do I adjust the positioning of the toolbars. I currently have them at default view, in that I have the "titile bar" on the top, then the main menu bar underneath that, and then the URL bar that also has a few add-ons at the far end. Then below that is the bookmarks bar..

My problem is that I would like to put either the title bar next to the main menu bar.. not underneath it (or visa versa), as there is about 3/4" of blank space (you can actually see my pc desktop) between the title bar and URL bar... How can I reduce this wasted space??? TIA<
