Currently I'm staying on the latest version of 3.x and hope it to be continually supported. Firefox 4.x has a new interface, which mixes chrome and microsoft office (win7) style together. What garbage if you ask me, personally.

Is there any chance 4.x might have a "revert to old style/previous style/etc" option so I can keep the firefox 3.x interface with continued support and still have theme addons work?

Thanks.

Right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Menu Bar" entry to select it, that will get rid of the Firefox button and display the menu bar instead.

To change the tabs to below the other toolbars, right-click on a toolbar and click on the "Tabs on Top" entry to de-select it.

Thanks, Tony!

Is there a way to also bring back the favorites bar between tabs and URL address?

Also, can I still hide the top menu for "Tools, options, help" etc and bring it up as I please by pressing the alt button as I currently do in FF 3.6?
