| 1188885 | 2011-03-25 19:18:00 | The only thing that annoys me with FF4 at the moment, is the new behaviour that saves open tabs when a downloading window is open. What I mean is if I have say 20 tabs open and I start downloading a file then close the main window but leave the downloading window open. If I then open a new FF window all the 20 tabs I previously had open come back up again. In FF3.x that would open a blank window. This is really annoying when I download a large file over many hours and open and close FF many times over the course of that download. |

That is probably because there is still an instance of Firefox running. What happens if you close the download window before running Firefox again. You should probably use a download manager anyway. |

| 1188888 | 2011-03-25 21:33:00 | I note that Netguide say that FF4 beats IE9 hands down. Then you note it's the number of downloads. :) This does not say how many downloaded and then dumped it. |

| 1188893 | 2011-03-25 22:37:00 | A slightly irritating characteristic is occuring with FF4 that didn't happen with 3. It tends to leave traces of text on the taskbar at the bottom of the page, or on the desktop. If for instance FF4 is full screen and I open Bookmarks which reaches down the page and overlaps the task bar, then bits get left behind. If FF4 is not full screen then a chunk of Bookmarks gets left behind on the desktop after Bookmarks is closed. A refresh is needed to clear the detrius away. Maybe this is something to do with my setup, I'll have to investigate further. |
