The somewhat useful posts from the previous thread

When you install "nightly tester tools" you can force the installation of add-ons, and the most I have just work.
Its been very very very very (very?) stable I cant remember when it crashed on me last. The only bug i have had in a previous beta version was with copy/pasting broken. Its not totally fixed I think either.Cyan said:Release Candidate usually means that they stop adding new features, and now only fix remaining bugs before official release. it's still considered beta but a "freeze" beta.
There can be RC1, RC2, etc. up until they think it's stable enough for a 4.0 final.
development usually goes through this steps : alpha > beta > RC > Final.
4.0b12 has a major bug in the webpage printing feature (no layout at all, only letters).
I forgot to test if it was corrected in the RC1.
For me, this RC1 means I will have to work on my add-on for a final release soon, or more users will complain that it doesn't work on 4.0
more work for me

Users are reporting that their currently installed add-on are not compatible, while the developers already know it and usually have already a new beta version available, but users just don't check if there's one, they just complain and Mozilla report their comments to tell us to work on a new version (which is already done).
There's another way to disable add-on version checking without installing this add-on, but I guess it's easier for the common users to use it.

The I'm using works fine, except only allows them on the left-side.SylvWolf said:Jan1tor said:I'll be sticking to my current version of Firefox.

1. I'm not sure what you mean by "multi user agent." Profile manager? There's probably still a way to do that, if that's what you mean.
2. Icons don't seem that much bigger to me, but I've been a different theme until now, so maybe I'm just not seeing it. Also, themes (will also solve your color issue).
3. Status bar. You can add this back in.
4. Tabs. You can change them to be where they used to be.
5. Options. Not sure on this, there doesn't seem to be anything missing, at least not that I was using a lot.

anyone else have same problem?
Holy crap, you're right. I don't actually use my touchpad but the scroll no longer works.
Overall, I like what they've done. I always had a few issues with 3.5 and 3.6, but they've been corrected, or so it seems. FF4 from now on!

Tabs can be swapped under the location bar with one click.
EDIT: If someone wants to recommend a good FF4-compatible addon for vertical tabs, that's the only thing I'm really missing (although Hide GUI Bars would be nice too).
EDIT2: Topic creator, its Firefox, not FireFox.

Oh well. It's acceptable.

Also there have been multiple reasons as to why it's taking so long to reach "stable" status, they're all in the changelog. Mozilla isn't very good at scheduling releases.
I've been using the FF4 since beta 1, and pretty much all of my issues have been resolved (such as tabs being on tab bar in fullscreen, no aero-peek etc...). Design-wise, I just wish that the menu button wasn't coloured orange. It's rather distracting.
