using 3.6 to avoid unwanted Firefox 5.0 changes to the toolbar user interface

You can make Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, 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.

See Original Poster's image in the requested to be LOCKED duplicate thread https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/862052#answer-231345

This should duplicate the image that you posted as your preferred appearance for Firefox 5 in the above (request to be LOCKED) duplicate thread.
