Just loaded Minefield nightlies 4.0b1.

Initial comments:

1 – I have lost Addon Compatibility Checker, and BarTab, both now disabled. This means Firefox has gone from < 4% CPU to 30%-50% with 200 tabs open. Can we have clear instructions on getting Addon Compatibility Checker working again? Correction – Selecting Addons and check for updates turned both of these back on. Well done…

2 – Firefox Menu when turned on is sluggish to respond. (Windows 7) there is only a single column with a few Menu options. Some buttons are nowhere to be found as others have noted – there is nowhere any options for Bookmarks or the "About Firefox". There is no Page Title or X or Minimise buttons on the right of the Title bar. On Windows 7 I can minimise or close a window using the task bar, I bet the missing X and minimise buttons is not intended. I can use the option "Customise" to turn the old menu bar back on – this is needed at present!

3 – Is there an option to turn on Page Titles either with the Firefox menu turned on?

4 – This one may be a Windows 7 problem – opening a PDF gives a dialog "Cannot use Adobe to View PDF in your web browser. Reader will now exit" Does this in all browsers – but in Chrome for instance it then does show the PDF. Firefox usually does not.. Anyone have ideas on this?

firefox 4.0 b1: why not “print preview” icon in Customize Toolbar? Just only Print icon :/

firefox 4.0 beta 1

I not use the Menu Bar (take a seat), and i missing the “Bookmark This Page” here

I not like the – Star icon + Unsorted Bookmarks method – , i think this “Bookmark This Page” is easier for the begginer of firefox’s user.

FLASH settings manager 3rd party cookies must be enabled.

However, where the “accept 3rd party Cookies” setting in Firefox 3 is located remains a mystery to me.

Those three MS files are what permit Windows Media Player to plugin to FF to play media embedded within web pages. They are easy to disable by renaming with an x appended to the beginning of the file name.

What may be the cause is the toolbar thing. It is not uncommon that third party toolbars are not maintained appropriately to keep up with FF versions.

Oh joy … FF developers figured out how to eat up even more RAM and an added process for a useless feature.

Is there a way to completely disable this recklessly implemented feature?

Hello, today I installed FF 4.0b1 x64 edition on my Mac. Obviously many of the extensions were not compatible and so I manually disabled the compatibility requirement in about:config to get most of them working again.

HOWEVER, I am having a major problem with a very important plug-in: Adobe Flash 10. It does not work at all and it isn’t even listed under “plugins”…I uninstalled, removed it from my system library, reinstalled, etc. and it simply won’t show up in FF 4.0b1 under plugins anywhere.

Can someone help/advise?
