You can make Firefox 4 look similar to Firefox 3.6. Press the alt key inside Firefox to bring up the menu bar then choose View > toolbars > check the menu bar option and uncheck tabs on top.

If that is not to your liking Firefox 3.6 will continue to be offered from http://www.firefox.com till the 4.0 release and http://www.firefox.com/all-older after the release.

When is FF5 coming out or will it just be even worse than 4?
