I totally can't tolerate the new firefox 4!

My Yahoo home page has the "Home" button all the way down to the right.

The "Settings" now involve extra steps.

Firefox has always (up to now) been my browser of choice.

Now that Firefox has said that support for the 3.6 version will soon end, I have decided to find another browser.

Goodbye Firefox

Here are a few tips to make FF4 look like the previous version.


  • Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar.
  • Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top.
  • To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. For example, drag the Home button from its default location on the right of the Search bar and put it somewhere else.
  • You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.
  • To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
