Why can't I access new upgrades in Firefox 4?
Just upgraded to Firefox 4 and completed restart, but nothing has changed. The browser looks the same as version 3.6.16. I see no Firefox Button, the Awesome Bar does not work, the Reload/Stop have not been combined into one, the Home button has not been moved, etc. When I check About Firefox, it says I have version 4. I even restarted in safe mode with everything disabled and still nothing.
Any ideas why I'm not able to access the new features?
Thanks

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
To combine the stop-go-reload buttons, right-click on a toolbar and select customize. Now drag and drop the stop and reload buttons onto the right hand side of the location bar in the order reload-stop

That solved the Firefox & Reload button mysteries. Still not sure about the Awesome Bar, but I'm satisfied with my current search window thing.
Thanks
