Anyone knows how to change the size of the google search bar? is too large !!Solid_Tango

You can get rid of it completely

View > Toolbars > Customize.

You don't even need it since the url bar can be used to search stuff now.

[QUOTE="thriteenthmonke"][QUOTE="Agent-Zero"] They did. I keep opening new windows when I want a new tab!

Any reason you don't center click instead?

Because I didn't know you could.

Not sure if you can just shrink it. Then again, I've only been using it for a couple of hours.

Don't know why they even have that bar when you can already search in the address bar.

You can resize the search bar by dragging the separator between the address box and the search box.

Also, I've been using Firefox 4 back when it was still considered Firefox 3.7 The only thing that still annoys me is that you can't hide the new "Firefox" menu thing (using the layout editor). I had to make a stylish theme to hide it.bededog

There's an Addon to fix that.

Middle mouse on links opens a new tab. Or at least it does in Firefox 3

I already have an addon similar to that. As it says in the notes, it can't hide the button it can only move it around. To completely hide it you need to edit the userChrome file or use a Stylish theme.

I was honestly considering ditching firefox for chrome until now. Firefox4 is faster, looks 10x better then before and I love how all I have to do is highlight a link and click "open in new tab" now instead of having to copy and paste all the damn time just because somebody forgot to make their link clickable. The only problems I have with it so far is the status bar at the bottom that pops up every time I hover over something that can open a new page, it's kind of ugly.

Well, I do have IE9 on there :P

Thing is when FF3 came out none of my plug-ins worked with it so I just stuck with FF2. As time went on I started using other browers and never upgraded. O well.

You could just install the addon Linkification which automagically links things for you.

I started with beta 8 and it has been a wonderful experience. The new tab groups are going to come in handy, but they may lead to sloppy web browsing habits.

It hasn't been updated on the addon page yet, but the Linkification website has a newer version that works with Firefox 4. You can also disable addon compatibility check to force older addons to work (doesn't guarantee they will work just allows you to use them as is).

Seems like when I installed it, FF became slower. Did this happen to you?

On my current version of firefox i have an addon that lets me have multiple rows of bookmarks instead of it just going to a list. Does anyone know if this is possible in Firefox 4?

I got FF4 and I still prefer Chrome. It's just more cleaner than FF for me. For all your options just click the Wrench icon on the top right and done. But I guess it's just a matter of preference.

I like it. My only complaints are the window shouldn't minimize when I click next to a tab for a new tab (can't be bothered to click the tiny button all the time) and I would like to change the color of the Firefox button. It's perfect once I figured out how to set my bookmarks toolbar. What's with people saying FF is copying Chrome? Nearly everything about chrome was copied from FF. Also, the refresh button needs to be put back infront of the address bar. Overall, I Love it. This is definitely the most sleek, clean and organized web browser available. You can make it as sleek as you want.. you can even take away the address bar, or make the browser full screen.

You can move the refresh button if you wish, most of the new firefox is customisable. Just click the Firefox button at the top left, click the arrow next to options then toolbar layout. :)

You can move the refresh button if you so desire. Also, many users say that Mozilla ripped the new design straight from Opera so it's a tad amusing that you deem Firefox to now be the most sleek, clean and organized web browser available when it looks a hell of a lot like Opera now. Removing the address bar is also available in Opera, mind you.
