2: The statusbar has been eliminated. That space has been replace by an optional addon bar, to which supposedly can be added via extension the functions of the statusbar. That extension currently does not work for me in FF4b7.
But the statusbar info isn't lost is it? It took me a little while to notice where it migrated to - for me anyway the main info I used from
The statusbar showed a lot more than just hovered URLs. So far I haven't found any of it except the hovered URLs...
the statusbar was to see the URL a link pointed to... this info is now shown in the Location bar or whatever it's called... to the right of your current URL.

3: The toolbar that contains the traditional buttons and URL space has been rearranged. By default, reload& stop aren't where people expect to find them unless maybe they've been using other browsers.
That one caught me out. I didn't notice where the reload button disappeared to for a while... I was rather annoyed by this... it took me a while to notice it was on the RH side of the Location bar.
A mouse mile away from other basic navigation buttons, same dumb place started by IE7, a definite PITA to a fullscreen browser user, particularly on the widescreen displays that have overrun traditional.
The UI shuffles are a bit jarring to start with, but the overall speed/performance increase more than makes up for any changes.
Your opinion. Whatever speed improvements (none of which I've noticed) for a lot of people aren't likely compensation enough for missing and misplaced features. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
