Firefox +1 Mega Thread

I've installed my FF4 without any problems, but there is still one issue I can't solve.

My menu still looks like the one in 3.x.x with File/Edit and stuff. I want to get that new button to the left of the tabs with "Firefox" sign. I saw few screenshots in this topic that some users had this feature enabled. Can anyone tell me how to change it ?

Right-click over the toolbar and untick "Menu Bar". The new menu should appear. If not, which happened to me, then right-click in the toolbar, select "Customize", then click "Restore Default Set" in the customization dialog. This should make it appear.

It says that it's still in development but the article links to some installation instructions.

Okay, so know i have to wait for 11.04. Actually, i am quite cool with that.

Has anyone else noticed that the app tabs don't really work too well? if you navigate to a new website from within an apptab, they update to that website from then on. is this their intended function??

As far as I can tell, they should prevent you from navigating away from the domain unless you explicitly enter a different URL in the location bar. Clicking links to other domains should open them in a new tab, and opening a bookmark while on an apptab should open the bookmark on a new tab.

Yup, except that its only happened to me once and I haven't duplicated it again.

I also notice that group tabs is pointless because it changes to whatever you navigate to, so there is no grouping.

And what do we do about there being no tiny menu add-on?

That's correct.

One of the things they should have implemented is the ability to reset the tab to the original pinned url upon restart. That is one of the reasons I barely use it.
