This might be what you're after to fix your status bar issue:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/

It's apparently incompatible with locationbar2 though.

Thanks, but that's probably more than I need.

I was looking more at some Stylish code to solve it. Maybe removing the border/background and move the text down or something? Don't even know if it's that simple...

The only benefit to using 64bit at the moment is that you can access slightly more registers.

But the other side of the coin is that there's random bugs, plugins don't work, random extensions don't work, etc.

Some plugins do work and you should check out the extensions you use to see if they are x64 compatible. Some are.

[*]I like the idea of hiding the menu bar but I miss the "Tools" menu option. I'm looking for some addon (or something) to add a Tools button to the toolbar (with Firefox 4 look and feel) but can't find anything...

I'm using this

https://addons.mozilla.org/af/firefox/addon/personal-titlebar/

When I open a new tab in FF4 (home page is google.com) it has the focus on the address bar whereas FF3.6.15 had it on the google search box -- the one on the web page not the toolbar. How can I make the focus go to the search box again? It is annoying to have to click on the search box to find anything.

On a separate note -- Why does the bookmarks drop down button disappear from where I want it to - next to the home button - when I display the bookmarks toolbar?

whats happening with an RC2 build then? What page on bugzilla shows the bugs to final before 4.0 can go final? I get high memory use and freezes using RC1 still :( not as bad as with beta 12 but its still nowhere near stable enough to be called 4.0 final.

Similar situation is with me.

Even with a clean profile?

I like the tabs-on-top + no menubar, but it leaves no place to put the searchbar. Having a tiny search box to the right of the urlbar doesn't cut it. I went back to showing the menubar and putting the searchbar to the right of the menu items. Retro. Then I found out you can put the searchbar in the addon bar. That may work for me.

You could try using keywords. That way, you can just get rid of the search bar.

I use that one already but doesn't do exactly what I was looking for. I can add the "Tools" menu to the personal menu (orange firefox button) but what I really wanted was a toolbar button to just open the "Tools" menu so I could add it to the toolbar.

I guess there isn't a way to do this for the time being...

You can place the menu bar anywhere you want and disable all of the unwanted buttons so you're just left with the tools menu.

But will that add a good looking button with an icon or just a "Tools" text label? I want a cute button, not just a label (haven't tested the extension yet).

They might release Firefox without some good improvements for IE9 demos.

I don't understand why this wasn't a priority before FF4 went RC.

Why would Mozilla prioritize a Microsoft demo? Regardless, the IE9 demos run fine here on RC1. Looks like RC2 is going to make a showing after SiteAdvisor is blocked, but things are looking good for a release.

I just use a multiple searchbar add-on where I highlight any word or type any word then have it search a single or 100s of sites all at once. Not a problem with not having the search engines I want because I can add and organize them to it easily. So I have one group for all my image sites, dictionary sites, web, so on.

Positive reputation for "FF4 vs Competition" articles?

Is this not obvious?

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
