Hey, I just installed firefox 4 and the default theme doesn't look like the screenshots I've seen. I have no firefox button (I have a menu instead) and the interface has a dark background. Also, the new tab and homepage buttons are in a different position. 

How do I change this to the default settings?

The screenshot you provided is not working!!

It seems you are on Windows XP.

Right click on Menu Bar and then uncheck Menu Bar option from the right click menu. You will see a orange Firefox Button in extreme left with tabs moving up.

In case you need the menu bar in future as sometimes it is required for some options, you can easily get it by press F10 key. It displays the menu temporarily.

You can customize everything by simply selecting Customize option from the right click menu that I told you and you can drag and drop any button anywhere.

The default theme on Windows XP is very dull. So why not try the personas. These are great and not memory hog. http://www.getpersonas.com/en-US/

I personally use them. Mind blowing appearance of browsing even better than the themes available.

Thnx for using Firefox.
