I have upgraded to Firefox 4 on both my laptop and my netbook (both running Windows 7) but can only see the new interface on my laptop. Firefox 4 on my netbook continues to show the old interface but has now disabled the add-on I used to collapse the menu bar. The screen resolution of my netbook is only 1024 x 600 so vertical space is definitely at a premium. I have already tried rebooting and reinstalling Firefox. Please advise.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.

If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.

You can place the Tab Bar on top.
