It's just a full screen bug right now, they need to sort out the padding I think.

Alright cheers, pressing F11 seems to bork the toolbar up, maybe that has to do with the uncompleted GPU tweaks?

Hmm another one, why is it a good idea to completely hide the page title info now all of a sudden? Hmm can only be viewed if you enable the menu toolbar. Would have been better to put the minefiled/firefox button as the first tab imo lol

I just installed the latest hourly, and I'm really impressed by it. :)

Sadly, I cant install Stylish, even after setting "extensions.checkCompatibility.3.7a = false".

I've tweaked FF 3.6 to look like the FF 4.0 mockups (using Strata40, Stratabuddy, Tab Progress Bar & Fission). It works very well & looks almost identical to the mockups, however there's one little thing about it that annoys me. Pic says it all:

Any Stylish script to fix that?

Not so critical though...
Maybe this is because of my theme only ..

Likewise; installed it into a sandbox as I'm not going to use it for real until it's official, but I was pretty impressed with the performance. Especially loving the hardware acceleration. Not a big fan of the glass and such though; I'm old and I prefer ye olde Netscape Navigator style layouts versus the glass and tabs on top and other nonsense, but at least that's configurable. Felt pretty fast and (more or less) stable. Can't wait for it to wrap up and get released.

I think it's amusing how every browser is trying to copy Chrome's layout and minimality now. And, how about a progress bar option on the Mac dock?
I think it's amusing how IE started the trend by removing the menubar and everyone moaned and groaned about it, but now that Chrome is taking it even further everyone praises Google for their innovation...

That is because MS isn't innovative, but Google is. Didn't you know? :p

Just tried the latest nightly...slow and very glitchy. Think I'll wait for the beta.

Guess I'm just starting to realize. :)

Another example is Microsoft was starting to move Windows into being a web-based OS back with Windows 98 (remember Active Desktop, channels, and Windows Explorer being just another IE window - that was supposed to be just the beginning). They got into a heap of legal trouble for it. Now Google is making Chrome OS which is basically the same concept taken to an extreme...

Beta should be arriving any time now. At least the fixed the app button.
