Firefox 4

So far, I have helped three people remove Firefox 4 and go back to Firefox 3.6. None of them liked that FF4 ditched the menu bar.

Crimus, if people wanted to use a browser that looks like Google's Chrome, guess what they are going to do?

Phil said...: I rue the day I downgraded to Firefox 4. It was like trading a perfectly good year-old Lexus for a '47 Chevy.; 5/22/2011 3:00 PM
Bridget Magnus said...: How the heck do you get anything accomplished without a menu bar? That's like having a car with no dashboard.

Well thanks for the warning. I really only update the crap Apple or the Xbox makes me update.; 5/22/2011 4:06 PM
Comrade Misfit said...: Phil, most of my friends had Windows 7, so it was easy. I picked a restore date that was before I knew they had "upgraded" and used that.

Firefox 3.6 was there. Then I merely reinstalled Windows updates and antivirus updates and they were good to go.; 5/22/2011 4:10 PM
Life As I Know It Now said...: I have a menu bar with Firefox 4.0
It is at the very top and smaller but does everything I need it to. But yes, it took me awhile to get used to it.; 5/22/2011 4:29 PM
Jim_Pickering said...: Right click in a blank area where the tabs are located and put a check mark in the choice marked Menu Bar. That's all there is to it. And it also works the same in Firefox 5.0 Good luck.; 5/22/2011 6:18 PM
Phil said...: Thanks for the tip, Comrade, but I'll hang with FF4 for a little while longer. Firefox updates fairly often, and I'm curious to see if they'll remedy some of their glaring omissions (such as restoring the AutoFill feature, for instance).; 5/22/2011 6:25 PM
Comrade Misfit said...: If Firefox 5 is being released in a couple of months, then why even bother with FF4?; 5/22/2011 7:31 PM
Ken said...: I got used to the lack of toolbar pretty quickly and it can be returned easily enough as stated above.; 5/23/2011 1:49 PM
