This past week, the Firefox tab on my google screen disappeared.

After some effort, I found a message that Google was no longer

supporting Firefox. I choose Firefox over my i-Google homepage.

Not being adept, it took me two (2) hours ! to remove Google.

I WANT GOOGLE TO COOPERATE WITH YOU, FIREFOX.

I tried to send Google an email, but it is too big.

I think an online petition from the Firefox community would persuade even this giant Google to bend.

I don't think much will happen and if it does it's into the future, that's just rhetoric and positioning, you've heard, and you will be able to choose your own search engines in Firefox and in other browsers in any case.

What do you mean by the Firefox tab, do you mean the orange "Firefox" button, that button disappears when you have a menu bar, and the menu bar disappears when you have the "Firefox" button or at least that was the intent, and that is strictly Firefox.

It sounds like you like the Firefox button instead of menus. You can restore the button by using "Alt+V" > Toolbars > uncheck Menu Bar

You might want to take a look at the following to understand what changes were made so you can make your own decisions about what you want do keep or change of the changes after Firefox 3.6.* see

You can make Firefox 8.0 look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, 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.

There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
