Now seems the official release ....

It is now. Mozilla claims something like 3 million downloads in 4 hours.

I believe it was still 4.0 RC when I posted.

And "Minefield" (the Mozilla nightly build) announces itself as 4.2a1pre. They have an ambitious release schedule planned.

Not sure about any others yet, but that's apparently the prime potential issue.

have to check my exif viewer as that's about about the only other thing I have besides Xmarks and standard Java stuff...

There are always issues with installed extensions when a new release arrives. Some are an easy fix, and some are not. Problems tend to be greater when the upgrade is a major version, as that changes things under the hood that an extension may rely on.

In going from 3.6 to 4.0, I only lost two extensions. One was Doron Rosenberg's GMail Notifier, and the other was Mel Reyes Total Toolkit. GMail Notifier is dead - Rosenberg announced he has ceased development and is dropping support. Reyes promised an update for Tech Toolkit when FF 4.0 got a production release - he didn't feel like trying to hit the moving target a beta represented.

I'm currently running 35* extensions, and all work fine. Some are new to FF 4.

The quick fix for addons problems is to install the Addons Compatibility Reporter. That lets you submit reports on stuff that either still works or is broken, but has the side effect of turning off version compatibility checks, so FF will enable and attempt to use your addons even if it thinks they don't work with the new release. Most will.

Every addon has an install.rdf file, and the install.rdf file has minValue and maxValue fileds that specify the oldest and newest versions of FF the addon is certified to work in. In most cases, when you install an upgrade to FF and it thinks existing addons aren't compatible, they actually work just fine, but FF doesn't know that because the maxValue filed in the rdf file is for an older version.

You can install the Addons Compatibility Reporter or the Nightly Tester Tools addons to turn of the compatibility check, or you can get the XPI file for the archive (it's a Zip file), extract the install.rdf file and edit maxValue with a text editor, then stuff it back in the XPI and install from the local copy. I find it easier to turn off the compatibility check.

Er, why should it be the default? One of the side effects of Private Browsing is to clean up traces afterwards. Note what is not saved when you turn it on: (from http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Private%20Browsing)

Quote:

What does Private Browsing not save?

Visited pages: No pages will be added to the list of sites in the History menu, the Library window's History list, or the Awesome Bar address list.

Form and Search Bar entries: Nothing you enter into text boxes on web pages or the Search bar will be saved for Form autocomplete.

Passwords: No new passwords will be saved.

Download List entries: No files you download will remain in the list in the Downloads window after you turn off Private Browsing.

Cookies: Cookies are files created by websites that store information on your computer, such as your preferences when visiting a certain site. These will not be stored. For more information on cookies, see Cookies.

Web cache files: No temporary Internet files or cached files from web pages will be saved until you turn off Private Browsing.

Is that really what you want as normal behavior? (It's certainly not what I want.)

Thanks, Dennis. I may go ahead and upgrade now. I understand the Norton add-on isn't yet compatible, though.

Never you worry. There are very good reports about that lighted cover and Amazon has an excellent customerservice, so I wouldn't worry. You'll love your Kindle. I do (got two).

After using it for some 36 hours (no not straight through) I'm really liking Firefox 4. Very fast! I have no issues with plug-ins. My Xmarks and EXIF viewer work fine. Have not had any crashes etc. It is different and takes some getting used to but ...

One thing that annoys me is the "reload/refresh" button is on the wrong side of the address/location bar.

Dennis, Gmail Manager works fine with FF4!
