I want the Firefox/Google homepage on my new laptop to show a line of search options like "images" "scholar" etc like my old one did.

I have set my homepage to Google. On my old laptop, right below my toolbars, there would be another line that showed a list of search options: "Web" "Images" "Video" etc. For my work, I use the "images" and "Scholar" options constantly. I got a new laptop, and that line has vanished. It seems simple, but I can't seem to figure out how to get that line or toolbar back. I miss it!

Not being maintained by Google any longer, it's telling everyone that they're "not on the latest version of Firefox".
Mozilla changed the default Firefox Start Page to about:home back in March with Firefox 4.0.

Google changed the look of - http://www.google.com/ - and other "branded" search pages within the last week or so. See Google help for information about how to get the older look (that was introduced in June) on that new laptop.
