    Firefox 4 settings

    So I used Firefox 3.6x for a long while now, but since I opened the PC and seeing it not starting, not even the process in Task Manager, I had to take teh easy way out and download FF4.
    My question is, how do I make it look like FF3? I need the tabs to be shown lower and the addon icons in upper right corner to be smaller.
    Also, why are al the links in bold fonts? wtf
    Thanks.

    Right click on where the tabs are and uncheck Tabs on Top. Although honestly it looks better with them on top, you'd get used to it fast. For addons right click on them and click customize and click the use small icons check mark.

    Edit: Derp I fail at instructions, fixed. I have no idea about bold font, haven't noticed it.

    I agree, it took a bit for me to get used to but I definitely like it better now.

    Also, if you right-click on the toolbar area, you can choose "Customize". This lets you drag things around to your liking.

    In order to fix this, uninstall FF, install Chrome

    If anything, right click on the right of a tab (where there is none) and enable the Menu Bar. That should make a thing or two look similiar.

    I know many that couldn't when they should because they didn't want when they could.

    For me when i switched to Firefox 4, all text was Italic looking, i read on some forum that it was cause of hardware acceleration.

    1. Click on the Orange firefox button in the upper left corner

    2. Then go to Options, and click on it.

    3. A window for options should have popped up now, Go to the "Advanced" tab.

    4. Look for a ticked (or unticked) box called "(if possible, use) Hardware Acceleration"

    5. If the box is ticked, untick it and click "OK"

    and then you are done.

    However if that box isnt ticked, then i dont know.

    It's, mostly looking like 3.6 now, thanks.
    The issue remains with bold fonts and some new addon icons.
