When a web browser like Firefox update itself it can be expected that there will be tons of complaints. Internet users are creatures of habit and do not adapt well to change. So when Firefox 4 was rolled out a month and half ago, experts braced for a slew of complaints from longtime Firefox users. The good news is there were relatively few complaints.
Here’s a look at some of the disadvantages or complaints Firefox 4 users had after downloading the latest version of this web browser.
Not Compatible With Some Add-Ons

The latest Firefox version is not compatible with some add-ons. While this wouldn’t be a problem for those that don’t use the add-ons it can be problematic for those that regularly use some of these popular add-ons. Add-ons that are not compatible with Firefox 4 include Delicious Bookmarks, RealPlayer Browser Record and NoScript.
This add-on issue is probably a temporary problem as most add-ons will update to so it is compatible with Firefox 4.
Address Bar Copying
Firefox has offered computer users the chance to copy web addresses by pressing the F6 button. However, Firefox 4 does not have this option. Instead, Firefox users are forced to use the mouse and copy and paste the web address they wish to use.
After eight months in the beta stage it is no surprise that there are relatively few complaints and problems with the Firefox 4 web browser and that there are more advantages than disadvantages for the web browser. The majority of the problems are superficial or ones that will be easily fixed in a matter of months.
