Yesterday I downloaded 4.0. Multirow Bookmarks dissapeared. Pity. With 3.6 I could type a URL, and if I alrerady had it in Bookmarks, it would appear automaticly. This is not the case with 4.0. Pity. My cursor vibrated, and videoes would make my PC to freeze. One hit at Ctrl, would unfreeze. Pity.

Is Bill Gates working at your lab? Pity.

If you are still willing to give Firefox 4 a try then try these suggestions.

The Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar extension is no longer supported by the developer for Firefox 4.

You may have to disable hardware acceleration to stop the vibrating

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In Firefox 4 Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.

  • Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"

If you want to try out Firefox 4 then you can do a custom install in a separate program folder ("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox4\"). That will allow you to keep the two versions separated from each other.

You also need to create a new profile exclusively for the Firefox 4 version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Thaks for your exelent answes, cor-el. I have already rolled back to 3.6, and everything is perfect, beside the oprator of the PC.

I found 4.0 to be a little VISTA-ish, if you understand what I mean.

Greetings fram snowy Oslo.

We have updated Multirow Bookmarks Toolbar to work with Firefox 4.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multirow-bookmarks-toolbar/

We have included Autohide and the ability to turn off the text on Bookmarks and Folders.

Please let us know how it works for you.

Thanks for your answer. Before I do anything, I neeed to fix my vibrating cursor. If I hit Ctrl it stops, and then start after i while. This "came" with 4.0.
