Firefox 4 does not have the traditional tool bar at the top where, normally, there are the functions one would find to format and edit drafts and E-mails - I use Google E-mail. I would like to know how to fix this or how to go back to Firefox 3.6 which worked fine.

Chosen solution

When Firefox 4 is run on Vista, the traditional toolbar (with File, Edit etc) is replaced with the orange Firefox button on top left corner.

To view the traditional toolbar, press the Alt key.

Thanks, Dynamite, that was really fast and I feel a bit daft for not figuring it out. Your solution was really helpful. Derekbarb
