I am considering updating the household computers to firefox 4, however, the older members of the household dont do changes with their computers very well, to that end, I wish to know how to make firefox 4 look like firefox 3.

If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.
You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.

  • Click "Menu Bar" to place a check mark and make the Menu Bar visible all the time.
  • 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 use this extension to get the Status Bar back:
