Originally posted by RichardS I've installed it and it's enough to make me abandon Firefox for ever. I've tried it on XP-Pro and Win7-Pro.
I think I have to rate it very highly on my list of the most stupid, useless, rubbish "upgrades" ever. Not #1, but close. I've been developing software for over 40 years, so I've seen some shockers.
Just one example: with the previous version I could click:
Bookmarks, Personal, Pentax Forums.
With this one, I have to click:
Firefox, Bookmarks - aaagh another window opens - Personal, Pentax Forums
That is
NOT an improvement. What were they thinking of?

Right click anywhere in the top area and check "Menu Bar"
I agree, I hated the Firefox menu box instantly and had to go back to the old style.
My likes so far:
-Don't need a plugin to make the top "clear" like glass
-Toolbar is pretty configurable...I need my Home and Refresh/Stop buttons to the left of the address bar
-My main addons carried over without a hitch (LastPass, Xmarks, etc)
-Seems faster most of the time
-I like the circle that spins in the tab when you click a link...spins one direction and is gray when the packet is sending, turns green and spins the opposite direction when downloading
My dislikes:
-Tabs open in random order. I want newest at the right, not next to the current tab (anyone know about that? FF 3.6.15 started doing that, too). Seems when the new tab is the same domain as the tab from which it's opened, it will load next to the current tab...it will load to the right if the domains are different.
-Mouse over a link or when a page is loading, in the lower corner it's a popup, not inside the menu bar (super annoying to me)
-The top toolbar has a sort of translucent border around File...Help instead of being totally clear
