Well, I've been using FF4 for the past couple of days on two systems and am switching back to FF3. Too many things don't work as I like them (Google Toolbar doesn't work properly, text boxes don't retain history when clicked on, main forum pages of other sites don't retain topic highlighting when returning to the main topic page, etc)...
Uninstall and reinstall fixed it for me for 1 day, now it's back to not working properly.  Still trying to get used to tabs above instead of below.  It does seem to operate noticeably faster.

There's been "Square" since last September, is that relevant? Or am I way off beam?
Square is correct. Information and link on this Adobe page.
When installed my version shows up in 'Add On Manager' as "Shockwave Flash 10.3.162.28".

You can easily put the tabs below the menu bar if you like.

The plugins are always behind the developer builds...

pdf viewing within the browser no longer works.  Too many bugs in this version, I've reverted back to v3.6.16

Maybe no problem for Win7?  WinXP didn't work.

Thanks, I did that. But I'd also like the 'Home' button in the navigation bar back on the left side like it was with previous versions. Can that be done?
