I just switched to firefox 4 and I don't like it. Can I switch back to what I had before, and how do I do this. I am pretty bad on computers...

I am terrible with computers... I just "downloaded" Firefox 4 and I don't like it. How can I go back to what I had before, which, I assume, would have been Firefox 3? Thanks

If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.

You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.

  • Click the Menu Bar entry to make the Menu Bar visible.
  • Click "Tabs on Top" to remove the check mark and place the Tab Bar at its original position just above the browser window.

If you want to revert other changes then tell use and maybe we can offer a solution.

Thanks so much for the response. I told my husband that I hated it and he was able to somehow delete it and reinstall whatever version of 3 I had. I am much happier now....I resist change. He did, however, inform me that not everyone likes the new and improved 4.
