To many of my Addons do not work in version 4 at present and surprisingly I miss them.

There's an about:config setting to make most of them work.

My desktop looks completely different, since I upgraded it the other night. I actually prefer it with the acceleration off but I'm going to leave it on because changes tend to grow on me.

How come mine doesn't have the menu button? It has the old menu bar.

Right click at the top bar and deselect MENU BAR, then you'll have the menu button

That does not enable the addons and nor does Nightly Tester Tools, below is the about:config link.

Yes it does.

Go into about:config, then create a new boolean, call it "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0" and set it to false.

Restart firefox and the compatibility check will be off BUT that might mean any addons which genuinely don't work will probably break firefox unless they are manually disabled. That said most of them do work even if they said they don't.

Hi
I did similar to nffc above.

This is how I did it.

Using firefox 3.x go into about:config
Right-click anywhere....
New > Boolean

In the box I put
extensions.checkCompatibility
and set it to false.

Then when you install firefox 4 again it won't check them.

But in 4 the syntax has changed to extensions.checkCompatibility.<version>

That's correct.
I was using out of date info.:dunce:

I've been back and changed it to:- extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0

I also dislike the layout and the default text and could not be bothered with it and just reverted back to 3 instead where everything worked again instantly.

They will sort it out soon but until then I will just wait.

On my wifes laptop running Vista, the toolbar that contains icons for open new tab/open new window/displaybookmarks etc is missing.
Tried all sorts to get it to show, but I am still running XP and not to familiar with Vista.

Sounds like the navigation bar is turned off. Have you tried right clicking in the blank space at the top of the window? It might just be that the toolbar you want needs turning on.
