Does Firefox 5 support the Firefox 3.x layout fully? Firefox 4 did not.

I dislike the Firefox 4 (& 5) layout with a vengeance. I would prefer to keep the Firefox 3.x layout. Firefox 4 didn't support this layout properly, leading to odd visual glitches. Does Firefox 5 support the Firefox 3.x layout fully?

Those tips did not work (fully) for me, hence this question. Thank you for your link, however. It may work for some others. I'm looking to use the 3.x frontend for the 4.x/5.x backend. Like a total replacement. The 4.x/5.x frontend is horrendous and I can't work with it for more than five minutes before throwing in the towel and moving to use a 3.x version of Firefox on a computer where I still have it installed.

If nothing changes, I guess I'll be stuck using the 3.x versions for a long time to come, until an alternative browser comes into view. (I'm actually considering going back to Opera.. *shudder*)
