    One major problem i have is that the refresh function doesnt work! is anybody else having trouble with this? that button along with the stop and back/forward buttons are "greyed out". to go back a page i have to right click on the back button.

    this begs the question of how much testing they did with this version.

    Heh, I say you must wait at least a week before complaining about a new software release! :p

    I'm not suffering from that issue...even with the beta/RC builds.

    Try re-installing? Did/do you have a theme installed? Might want to remove it.

    Sorry you're having problems but I've been trying out FF4 all day on three different computers (one XP, one Vista, one W7) and I'm not having any of those issues, so I don't think the problem is FF4.

    -> I never had that problem either.

    On that note, I think Firefox accumulates a fair amount of junk during upgrades, so it can be a good idea to reinstall it every now and then.
    Firefox Synch makes life easy with respect to your bookmarks in that case, just make sure you write down the synch key (preferable on paper)

    USAPatriot, normally I'd agree... except this software was supposed to be released in November. It's hardly "new" it's been delayed for months.

    if everyone waits a week to report bugs in new software releases, all fixes will be delayed by one week. :p

    joking, but serious.
