Hi I have downloaded FF5 - however, the browser doesnt look like version 5 - it still looks like the previous version browser window. For example, I dont have the new style orange button on the top left. Under "Help" it states version 5 - it just doesnt look like it.

I have downloaded version 5 on my home machine, so I know what to expect.

Can anyone advise me?

That is because you are on Windows XP your settings weren't messed up by default. In the future you will have to use "Alt" to see the menus, or use the "Firefox: button which puts the menu in two columns.

View > (check) Tabs on Top

View > Toolbars > (uncheck) Menu Bar

Whether you make changes or not read the following to understand what was changed, and what you have to do, such as use right-click on the Back/Forward button to see history, or how to get back your previous session under history.

You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6).
