The new version of firefox I have just uploaded displays the page tabs above the URL and search boxes. I would like the layout to be returned to what it was on my 3.6.17 edition. How can I change this?

Right click a blank part of the Tab bar and then click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the location bar.

Other things you can do:

  • 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. 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/
