Upgraded to FF 4. Most of the expected FF4 traits, features, etc., are present and accounted for. My MENU BAR has stayed exactly as it was, with no FIREFOX BUTTON to be found. No instructions anywhere I've looked for troubleshooting or changing this behavior. SECOND PROBLEM: FF4 supposed to be way faster, right? Not happening. I have awesome net connection speed, web page loading is just a little better than dial-up.

You need to hide the Menu Bar to make the orange Firefox button appear.

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.

I see above someone else said their firefox button problem was solved. I'm out of town today, so I can't try this suggestion out on my home computer until Sunday. But it certainly sounds like a good idea. Thanks, cor-el. I'll register my satisfaction when I see the fix in action.
