I just upgraded to ff 6.0.2.

My old version of ff had a change to the userChrome.css file:

  1. FindToolbar {display: -moz-box !important;}

This causes the find toolbar to appear on ff startup.

I want this functionality with 6.0.2.

You help is appreciated!

Using this code in userChrome.css
#FindToolbar { display: -moz-box !important; }
can cause a problem with the text label (Find) on the search bar that only appears if you press Ctrl + F.

Does not relate to your question, but...

You have multiple old Java Console extensions that Java did not clean-up during updates. You need Java Console only if you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages. You can see them in Add-ons > Extensions, but you can not remove them from there. Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites. You can manually remove them, if you do not do Java development work to avoid future, possible problems/conflicts:

Your old Java Console versions:

  • Java Console 6.0.15 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0015-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
  • Java Console 6.0.16 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0016-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
  • Java Console 6.0.17 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0017-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
  • Java Console 6.0.20 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0020-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
  • Java Console 6.0.21 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0021-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
  • Java Console 6.0.22 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0022-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
  • Java Console 6.0.23 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0023-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
  • Java Console 6.0.24 {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0024-ABCDEFFEDCBA}
