Seems very buggy. This is what mine looks like:

Also, here are a few other issues:

* Navigating to www.google.com gives me a 302 page before redirecting me to the localized version (seems like it does this on other sites as well)

* The AdBlock icon is missing

* No status bar means I can't access my NoScript, MultiProxy Switch, or FireBug addons easily

* Sometimes tabs just refuse to close

* It didn't seem to want to upload the above image to imgur.com. Might have been some other problem but it worked in IE8.

* The back button doesn't work (backspace does though)

* ctrl-shift-t doesn't work ("Restore recently closed tabs" is greyed out)

* When I submitted this comment I wasn't redirected to the comment page - a blank page was all I got (same thing that happened on imgur, so I'm assuming it's a related issue)

* Sometimes I get stuck in the Tab Groups window and I can't return to the main view

This is all within 10 minutes of installation, so I'm expecting to find more bugs.



The status bar has been replaced with the addon bar. If it’s not showing up for you then look under View / Toolbars / Add-on Bar. Regarding your other problems, something’s definitely wrong because I can’t reproduce any of them. Maybe try with a new profile?

Is there some alternate way to check where a link is pointing with a mouseover?


Yep, look in the location bar. Link targets are shown on the right hand side.


Aha sure enough! That's actually quite elegant, thanks very much.


Looks like it was because of an incompatible addon.

Edit: NoScript appears to be problematic


You got lucky. Mine turned out like this:

Had to start in Safe Mode, resetting toolbars and themes didn't fix. Resetting all User Preferences did fix the appearance, but broke 1Password. Reinstalling 1Password (which supports Firefox 4 betas) didn't fix. (Adblock+ and Xmarks worked okay.)

TimeMachine backup from 2 hours ago to the rescue: App, Profile, and Prefs, all's good.


I'm curious to see a Chrome screenshot on those wm settings. Obviously you try to minimize the the os memory footprint, so most of the UI enhancements are not really targeted for you.
