True. See the blue cross on the right-hand side of the tab? Clicking on that will open a new tab. One click instead of two! :-) > - When right-clicking on a link, the order of "Open in New Window" > and "Open in New Tab" are reversed. With Iceweasel 4 on KDE4 and no themes or addons I have it as the first choice, followed by Open in New Window, a divider, then Bookmark this link. Ditto with Firefox 4 on Lenny with KDE 3.x many addons, no themes. > - Tools->Addons opens a childish-looking Tab instead of the current, > functional window. I don't have that! I used to have that with earlier versions of Iceweasel and Swiftfox - now it is a window in a new tab that opens. > - The "Old Location Bar" doesn't work anymore. Not sure what you mean by doesn't work. Both of mine do. Though the location bar is covered when the add-ons window is open. > - The new theme is, I think, stupid looking.

While the UI has some small changes - and it "seems" to run quicker, I'm yet to see any reason to migrate from 3.x to 4.x. Note: I'm referring above to Iceweasel 4 on Squeeze, and Firefox 4 on Lenny - I run a number of add-ons which might influence things, my previous theme (KDE) didn't survive the upgrade.
