Re: Firefox version on Ubuntu

I disabled "Tabs on Top" (stupid)

Then I installed "Status-4-Evah" see »addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox···-4-evar/

I was referred to it from an article on Mozilla about the new changes around the Firefox 4 time but I currently don't have it in front of me.

I also installed a Firefox 3 theme for Firefox 4+

Hope this helped!

You solved the problem for me completely. I had already found the tabs-on-top checkbox, but did not know about the addon. It works exactly as I wanted it to!

Many thanks!

Glad to help, that balloon-style status bubble dealio took part of my life away as it reminded me of Windows.

I was on quest to get the status bar back.

Just then Firefox 10 comes out...

... I wonder if 10.04 will continue in the fast cycle. I imagine they would not allow an unsupported browser in a supported LTS and got version 9 out 2 months in advance. But I'm not sure how long 9.01 remains supported.

Glad you guys found status-4-evar. Except for minor quirks, this was my glaring brain-dead change, too. After tweaking that add-on bar for awhile it needed this help.

EDIT: Anyone on top of Mozilla's real goal? I know I've read how Fx 4-5-6 were sort of like the old style 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3. This means 9.01 may not be supported the instant 10 comes out(?) Just wonderin'
