Firefox 4 downloads break 8 million

Not surprised but that is impressive!

What isn't impressive are irrational, bad decision-making Finnish people.

Not one to complain but why does the slick animation above feature farting zeppelins?

lissenup3, are you going to be a good boy or do i have to keep banning you?

Because farting helicopters didn't look as funny.

Nice to see Microsoft getting spanked around by Mozilla.

Thanks for clearing that up KB. :D

And ditto on the spanking.

I had to go back to 3.6.16. I can't stand to surf without Adblock Plus, Flashblock and NoScript.

Hopefully they get updated for 4.0 sometime soon.

Eh ?, i have Adblock Plus & Flashblock working fine under 4.0 across (so far) 4 machines. I don't use NoScript anymore so can't comment on that one...

Yipe! Thanks for clearing that up Creaks.

I can't cope without Adblock Plus & Flashblock either.

I was under the impression that addon makers were given plenty of time to update for the FF4 release. Addons are what make FF in many ways so they would want to get that sorted beforehand imho.

Strange. It disabled them and they won't update or reinstall. Guess I'll have to uninstall everything and try from scratch.

Thanks for the info.

It's installed perfectly well for me too. And heck FF4 is so much quicker! (And with AB+ even quicker.) I know what your problem may be skeil.

Installing from scratch I noticed a new "addon bar" at the bottom of the screen when I installed AB+. You may have missed this. It can be closed/opened through View>Toolbars. The red ABP icon is at the bottom right. You can move the icon back to were you used to have it via Customise but I don't think you can shift toolbar itself.

I had to install from scratch because I ticked that bloody do this with all files like this in the download prompt. And all the internet instructions to reset the curesed thing amounted to bollocks.

It appears in most browsers on the far right side of the "Awesome (Address) Bar". It's also the Stop button now. You can shift it by selecting "Customise" then you will see two buttons appear which you can reposition. If you keep the Refresh/Reload button to the left of the Stop button they will merge together into a single button when you exit Customise.



I am loving FF4 sick now. I've managed to lose about +75% of the clutter! Many things are a single extra click away but it's worth it. It doesn't have to be like that it's just my personal choice. Down to a minimal button sleek two bar look now but packed with features. Full Screen (F11) is really workable now I've addoned Movable Firefox Button and Personal Menu to restore the useful Tools menu into it ~ Tho I'm buggered as to how to get the Place toolbar-buttons and bookmarks toolbar items inside Firefox Menu feature of PM to work.



PS: Try the Tab Mix Plus addon- it has awesome features.
