Just installed Minefield alpha yesterday and love it! This morning, I was prompted to install an update, so I did.

Now -- the zoom-out feature is missing! This is what I love about Minefield, so something went terribly wrong. How can I get it back?

Thanks.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I installed the Minefield update just a few minutes ago.

User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b3pre) Gecko/20100727 Minefield/4.0b3pre ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

"TabCandy is only avaliable on try-server builds, which gets overwritten by nightly builds the next day. If you wish to keep using the TabCandy build change app.update.channel in about:config to something invalid, so updates don't get fetched."

Do you mean that you do not have the View > Zoom menu item?

In Firefox 4.0 you get an orange Firefox button if the menu bar is hidden. Go to Customize > [[X] Menu Bar to make the menu bar visible or press F10.

v4.03bpre - prompted to restart; I accepted. Now the little button that used to be in the upper right corner allowing me to group tabs is gone. "Customize" is of no help. Tools|Options is of no help either.
