789854 2009-07-07 23:13:00 I suppose I should install it, I use 3.00 at the moment.
They keep bombarding me with it.
Has anyone tried it yet and got any comments ?

789855 2009-07-07 23:14:00 Yep. Been using it since launch. Can't notice any difference. :) Richard (739)
789856 2009-07-07 23:15:00 Yes - one new "feature" bugs me, which is the inability to close the last open tab (and replace it with a blank tab). The "X" is completely missing, and Ctrl+F4 (which usually closes tabs) will close the entire window. somebody (208)
789857 2009-07-07 23:18:00 Been using it since it came out, addons are slowly being updated, got a few good features, few annoying ones, over all not much difference. wratterus (105)

I hate that as well. My friend also hates the new Add Tab button (like IE's) as he can't hide the tab bar.

It's faster, yes. :D

I think its always been ctrl+w for closing tabs. Ctrl+F4 will close the entire application.

789860 2009-07-07 23:30:00 It's Alt+F4 that closes the entire application. Ctrl+F4 has always closed tabs. pcuser42 (130)
789861 2009-07-07 23:33:00 It's Alt+F4 that closes the entire application. Ctrl+F4 has always closed tabs.

Yup - incidentally, if you leave one tab open and hit Ctrl+W, it closes the entire application.

789862 2009-07-07 23:35:00 Turns out there's an about:config entry for it: lifehacker.com

EDIT: Just tried it, there's still no close tab button but Ctrl+F4 works, as does middle-clicking it.
