How can I get back the way the older versions look. I hate the way the 4.9 looks and I am unable to find anything. Also the screen doesn't even go all the way to the top. I can see part of my background showing in a very enlarged way. I am going to give up on Firefox and go back to something else. Hate this new version.

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.

  • 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 postion just above the browser window.

You can try to find a theme that doesn't have transparency.
