What are your first impressions?

Been using it on my desktop for awhile. My laptop, which I'm using now, still has the previous version. 4 took a little to get used to with the tabs being up on top, but you can move the tabs below, like the previous version. It's working great so far. The only thing I don't like is the Left/Right arrows to go back/forward the viewed pages, there's the down arrow so you can view the history and jump to the viewed page you want. 4 doesn't have the down arrow, but if you right click on it, you have the same options.

I like the speed. It doesn't feel near as bloated as 3.6.15. All my machines are happily running Firefox 4 now. I'm still mixed about tabs. Originally, I said I would immediately change them to below the awesome bar, but I have yet to do so. I probably will in time, because with more than 10 tabs open at times, I often use my mouse to access them and have to scroll further with tabs on top.

Overall, a very appreciated release.

I remember when FF 3 was kinda a big deal :P
First impressions is that I like how they changed the layout.
Its very much like Chrome, but I still like how Chrome integrates the search bar and the address bar.

PS: I am on a mac.

Pity some add-ons aren't working (yet)
Faster than FF 3.6, so I'm back to FF as default browser :)

It's faster. The rest, I really don't care one way or the other.

I forgot all about firefox! Been using chrome for the last year+. This reminded me and I went back. So far I'm impressed.

my tabs are located above the url address bar, search box, etc. Can I somehow move the tabs to be the first bar over the web page? (I tried without success) Current location seems like extra space to mouse over just to switch tabs
