Firefox 4.0.1

For those of you who haven't already changed to the new version, I strongly recommend you try it before you upgrade. There are many changes in this version, sadly, all of which have made my usage of the program more unproductive.

The bookmark menu is such a chore to get at, you might as well type the whole name in the browser or let the auto complete pick it up. This is horribly inefficient for me as I use bookmarks all the time, or at least I used to.

Flipping the navigation through tabs to the top doesn't serve a function for me as well. They also lost the information bar at the bottom, another something I didn't like. I like to use the saying here, if it isn't broken, don't fix it.

Speed is improved, and it seems to utilize graphics better, font's seem to look better as well as webpages. Although, that doesn't out weigh the rest. Looks like it's time for a new browser, first on trial will be Google chrome, I'll check it out and post back when I find something I like.

If I'm lucky, I'm not the only one who doesn't like the changes and Firefox will revert back to the old look and feel with the improvements, here's to hoping.
