on the Right top is a star for Bookmarks, below that is a green wheel which I thought would be "Tools", but its not. It's 'Toolbar Settings' I can't find the Tools button.

Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

I guess the green wheel might be the "WOT" extension doesn't sound like something in Firefox.

You can make Firefox 6.0.2 look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.

There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.

Thank you for your response, for someone who understands computer language, Im sure it would help. But, I was lost 3 words into it, and know if I tried what I think you were suggesting, I'd crash everything. But, I do appreciate your trying to help. Please, it's not you, it's me. Ferngully, Maybe I should go back to the forrest.

cor-el: Yeh, thank you so much, clicking F-10 worked. I don't know yet if it will stay there, but each time I clicked it it was there. Thank you. Ferngully2
