No, I'm talking about the new tab button that you can put by the home button, refresh button ect

TBH firefox 4 has alot of little problems that i don't like this that I don't like. Good thing its the beta.

Been using it for some time now, seems good so far.

After installing be careful to disable themes / addons that could cause problems. Many ppl in this thread some to have visual glitches / missing icons (had it too) because the FF beta uses the settings of the existing FF installation.

I'm very happy with the design changes. The default design of 3.6 is just HORRIBLE. But luckily there were addons for aero glass effect and good themes to make it look better.

Things I noticed I'm missing:
- There's seems to be no convenient way to reopen accidentally closed tabs.
- New tab icon next to the newest tab, like in IE8 or Chrome

Try opening the Customize menu and moving the already existing New Tab button. It let me move it about the toolbars even though the icon itself doesn't show up in the menu. I have no idea if there's a way to place it somewhere while keeping the original in its old location like in previous versions, but I also haven't tried disabling anything that still appears to work well enough.

press alt+v to go the view bar, then go to toolbars, make sure the "menu bar" is checked, then go down to "customize", and drag "new window" wherever you want. The lack of the menu bar as a default is gonna mess with a lot of newbies.
To access it without menu bar checked press alt+f

with version 4 the F6+F4 trick doesn't work anymore... i should use CTRL-L + F4 to easy access the history of most used urls

You can start your normal Firefox Installation and change it to the default theme. When starting the Beta then it will also use the default theme.

You could also install the add-on compatibility reporter add-on and enable it even though it shows as incompatible.

FF3 was such a massive disappointment that I switched to Opera.... is it worth switching back?

That depends on what you were disappointed with and if they fixed in FF4.

You'll have to elaborate on that.

my disappointment was it took me a few mins to set up firefox then firefox would be all memory leaky on my and crash at random moments after a like hour of heavy use or in 3 hours or w.e

Works great, no issues with memory so far like Opera has. Everything is really smooth for me, not 1 bug. Didn't try different themes, imo need to wait until the beta is over.

I haven't experienced anything like this while using firefox, you must have had something running in the background.

It was a pretty common issue with FF, as I recall. Always heard stories of it being fixed, only to have it rear its head again.

For those of you who are using FF4 on win7 (and vista I would assume), I found some cool code on another site that merges the menu and tab bars into one so there isn't all this dead space above your tabs. Save it as userChrome.css and save it in the chrome folder in your Firefox profile folder (type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ into the search bar in the start menu)
