After upgrading to FF4, and viewing the tutorial, it appears that the only change is that my Yahoo Toolbar has gone away. I do not have the Orange Firefox button in the upper left hand corner, None of the features as described in the tutorials are there. I downloaded and re-installed FF4 3 times, and when I initially open the browser, it is blank, I have to hit the Home button to even get to the default FF homepage. I had problems trying to install the Beta version, and now that you've rolled out FF4, it seems to have way too many glitches, from reading the Q & A section. I am almost afraid that I will lose all my bookmarks, other things if I continue to try to use FF4. I think you rolled this our WAY too soon, without having the bugs fixed.

To get the new interface you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.

If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

Hi, Tony, thenks for your reply. Well, now I have no toolbar, no menu page, and I do not get the new interface. Pressing Alt or F10 does not show the menu bar, I have NO bookmarks, argh! I have tried re-starting Firefoz, rebooting the computer. I am reading all these great reviews of FF4, but I don't seem to be able to get it to work on my machine.

OK, nevermind, I somehow got to the menu and toolbars and hid them, and now I do have the Firefox orange button, so I think I may be in business. Thanks again for your help.
