Re: [update] Firefox 4 Beta 6
 
Ok I had no success with any thing I tried and ended up trawling the Mozilla beta forum for a solution. A member with a similar problem of a missing option had found a solution that I tried and found successful. So just in case it may come in useful to anyone else this is something to try.

Insert an icon from Customize Toolbars option in View on to the menu bar (I reinstalled ABP and used that icon) for some reason that prompts the add new tab button to appear at the right hand side of the Bookmarks Tool bar. Once you close the Customise box the add new tab thingy jumps across to the right of the last tab.

I hope anyone who needs to do this can follow what I did but if not feel free to PM me and I will attempt to talk you through.

I'm glad you've got the + button sorted.:)
It's much more convenient than File > New Tab or Ctrl T.:cool:

Glad you got it working. :)

It was such a small thing but it really rankled so I'm pleased with the result as well and, having sorted it the way I did, has given me more confidence for future problem solving. :)

Which is probably a dangerous thing. :D

Firefox 4 beta 7 is now available! Please update the thread title! :)

This version has a few graphical interface tweaks at first glance and having no progress bar seems strange, however not looked into any other changes yet.

Edit

The progress bar has been moved to each tab and the info of links to the address bar when hovering over link.

Firefox 4 beta 8 is now available, as this is due to be the last beta version maybe the title of the thread could be brought up to date by a passing mod?

The newest beta includes simplified setup for Firefox Sync, Mozilla's bookmark, password and open tabs synchronization service; additional Windows and Mac graphics card support for WebGL, the under-development standard for 3-D graphics rendering; and a revamped extension manager that silently updates any installed add-ons.

According to Mozilla, Beta 8 also sports more than 1,400 bug fixes or changes from its predecessor, which launched six weeks ago.

The new beta seems to have got rid of the annoying blank tabs that remained when I closed a tab in beta 7.

Getting a little fed up with endless Beta updates ... I've removed the version number and opted for the catch-all title 'duscussion' instead. :D

Or even 'discussion'...:p:

Think I'll bung this on my netbook, looks a lot more reasonable for smaller screens

Does anyone have any problems with the way it looks? (Technical term, I know ;) )

All the fonts used on the webpages look different and it gives me a headache when reading the text.

It's putting me off using it.

Installed it this afternoon, fits the screen much better than IE9 and a huge improvement on Fox 3.5

Looks fine here.

What are your Content settings (mine attached for a 1440 x 900 screen)?

It all looks fine to me too, no different to the normal version.
