Since downloading firefox 4 I have an orange small rectangle box in the upper left corner of my desk top. How do I delete it and return to my original toolbar which I think was yahoo. I no longer have the little house in the left half of the tool bar where it should be, not in the upper right corner. The orange rectangle has the work firefox in it.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.

  • Click the Menu Bar entry to make the Menu Bar visible.
  • Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

You can find the Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.

You can open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and drag the Home button to its previous position.

Well, this did not work. Shall I just delete firefox? Nor was there a "home" on the customize site.

In addition I lost the home icon completely.

I would just like to reiterate the question with one specification. I don't hate Firefox and I don't want Yahoo toolbar at all BUT I would like to get rid of the orange Firefox button at left side AND the menu bar (both! not just one of those two). It takes room on the tabs and for me it is useless (you just have to press tab to have the menu bar to appear if you need the menu)

Need help for that and thanks,

Christian

(I would also get rid of the bookmarks button that takes room on the bookmark toolbar, but that's another issue discussed here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/818426)
