New FF 4 - Two questions: 1) Icons in main tab are gray and too small (small icons not checked); v.3.6 had a better readability of icons. 2) when bookmarks column is visible, the first window tab in the tab bar is just over the bookmarks. Really hidden in the overall UI graphics. I considered lost the tab with the source of my navigation many time. To move the tab bar over the address bar doesn't solve the problem, because the tab bar has no contrast over the background. Apart that this is not its natural position. At present I came back to 3.6.15 Some suggestion please?

Dell XPS 64 bit/Win 7. My issues are several with FF4, this one seems to address visibility. The whole interface seems smaller. I am a senior, use the text zoom extensively. Always far superior to IE. Various sites handle it differently, but the basic FF interface remained consistent. Didn't overlap buttons, adjusted to site frames settings, etc. Now it is SO small, it is definitely an accessibility issue. Uninstalling v.4 seems unadvisable. Seems running two FF versions at once isn't possible. This is huge for me; wish I'd never accepted the upgrade. FF has always been so reliable.

Hi! May be a solution for small buttons is here: Firefox 3 theme for Firefox 4 . I've found some advantage as the buttons are just the same as Firefox v.3. Note: Buttons are larger only if placed on the "Navigation Bar" (see Pic.1)

Some customization to the layout , keeping only the most used commands, gave me other benefits (see Pic.2) In Pic 2 I have hidden the "Menu Bar" and "Bookmarks Bar" (If needed I could temporarely restore them with easy.) More: moving the "Tab bar" over the "Navigation Bar" I see better what happens with the tabs. I admit that this lauout is quite compact but all what I need is clearly visible. I hope this helps someone
