New Firefox 5 Features

Am I the only one who isn't seeing most of the new features described in firefox 5 such as the Awesome Bar and "Firefox Button" (with all the menus embedded in it) after upgrading to firefox 5?

Help -> About Firefox  does say it's Firefox 5, but I don't see any of the new features!

Re: New Firefox 5 Features

right click and uncheck the Menu Bar option and you will get a single button --- btw that's been around since Firefox 4. So its not actually a new feature in FF5

Re: New Firefox 5 Features

The Awesome bar also existed before afaik, that's just the search/location-bar combo. The menu button should be a matter of right-clicking on an empty part of the top bar and deselecting Menu Bar.

Has anyone been able to filter results to open tabs as described here?

Re: New Firefox 5 Features

But it's pretty useless with my layout of:
Follow image posting rules -- Inxsible
-> tOTZ0ZA
The URL bar in the tab panel kind of works but looks not very good because the url bar maximizes and the tabs are reduced to the minimal size even if there are only two, so I can read less on them than before... I'll have to try a bit further...
