[[T:Only in Fx4]] __TOC__ =Why weren't my tabs and windows restored?= If you had tabs and windows open when you closed Firefox, the new default Firefox home page will have a {button Restore Previous Session} button on it.

This is usually due to Windows ClearType not being turned on. # In Windows, click [[Image:Small Vista Logo]] and type ''cleartype'' in the search box. #Click {menu Adjust ClearType text} to open the ClearType control panel. #Check '''Turn on ClearType''' and then {button Next} to fine tune your settings. #After you fine tune the ClearType settings, click {button Finish} to accept them. For more details see, [[Fonts look blurry]]. It's also possible that you are also experiencing issues related to outdated graphics card drivers. See [[How do I upgrade my graphics drivers?]] for more information, including how to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox as a possible workaround. {/for} =Some of my add-ons were disabled. What can I do?= After upgrading, Firefox checks for new versions of your add-ons and disables those that are no longer compatible. By default it will continue to check for new versions periodically. For more info, see [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]]. Some add-ons (like Firebug) have completely different versions for new versions of Firefox so the auto-update feature won't work. To check for a new version: # [[T:Open Add-ons|type=Extensions]] #Click the '''more''' link in the add-on's description. #In the detail view, click the homepage link to be taken to the add-on's website where you can search for a newer version. =Where are my bookmarks?= Relax.
