I installed Firefox 4.0, but I don't get the Firefox Button. Instead I get the old menu at the top. Plus I don't get App Tabs or Panorama

After installing 4.0, I only get half of the new look. The tab buttons are at the top now, but above that, all I get is the old menu style instead of the new "Firefox Button" that I have seen demos of. Also, I don't have the features called "App Tabs" or Panorama.

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.

If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.


When you right-click on a tab you should see the option "Pin as App Tab". For more details see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-app-tabs


Panorama, also known as tab groups is quite hidden. For details of how to access it see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups
