Firefox from 3.6.18 to new on Windows 7

more options

Just bought a new laptop (Windows 7) installed Firefox 4 but miss features on my old 3.6.18 especially the toolbar with the back button, ability to add and delete frequently used sites to the toolbar, hidden toolbar icons (file,edit,history,bookmark) that isnt visible all the time and can't switch from yahoo search to google search. I liked my old firefox better. Please provide me with instructions. Thank you

Your question is basically the first ten numbered steps in the following:

You can make Firefox Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.19, 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). Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.
