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! :-)

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.

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.

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.

Easily changed - like the Iceweasel theme, I don't like the Firefox theme.

I'm not sure what was broken in earlier versions (from my perspective).
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.
Cheers
