If you mean the bottom bar? I actually disagree... i find it more distracting everytime the little box pops up in the bottom left and bottom right now  .

Yup, keeps catching my eye, wondering what's going on.

OK, installed it on my netbook. There's little difference in speed if any as far as I can tell (I messed around with a bunch of sites in 3.6 just before installing 4)  , some of my more useful add-ons are disabled as usually happens (the old compatibility trick isn't working either), and I'd have to rearrange a few things... I think I'm going back to 3.6 Anyone else feeling a bit 'meh' about it?

I just installed it this morning. It kept my theme, including having tabs in the right place. In fact, the only visual difference is that the status bar is missing and I can't get it back. I don't actually have the extra knobs and whistles that the guide talks about. However, it does seem a little quicker. Still has the exact same horrendous memory leak though. After a few hours browsing, it's using over 500MB with just this site open.

It's using about 112MB for me, which I think is par for FF.
Which themes do other people have? I've always been happy with Noia Extreme 2.0 but currently not compatible. May be an opportunity for a change.

I'd actually forgotten I'd installed one on this PC, but it's called "Tranquil Blue" and it fits my blue desktop theme. My media centre has "Black Fox" which fits the, err, black desktop theme. I'll be upgrading that one next, and it might be snappier since it actually has some graphics power.

Black fox isn't to bad - it complements my Zune XP theme.

How do you find out the name of your theme?

Tools -> Addons -> Appearance and it should say which is active

Classic Compact and Office Black here according to my list... EDIT - Went back to 3.6 since the add-ons I use are worth more than the tiny increase in speed

Holy Crap! I've just tried FF4 on my fast internet connection at home rather than the slow on at work. It's unbelievably fast at loading pages compared to FF3.
