After installation of Firefox 4.0 I cannot find the Firefox Tab, which should be above the "awesome bar". Neither can I find the button for the bookmarks.

On the other hand I still have the convetional menue bar with Datei, Bearbeiten, Ansicht, Lesezeichen, Extras and Hilfe. How to I get the new design ov Firefox 4.0?

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.

If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

The bookmarks button that displays if the bookmarks toolbar is hidden is by default is on the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.
