how to go back to old google
I have just reinstalled firefox because MSN/Bing had infiltrated it as a serch enginge default. As a result I have an ugly and cumbersome Google page on startup. How do I get "plain and simple" back? ("Plain and simple was one of the attractions of Firefox in the first place)

Try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the Safe mode start window.

If you are talking about the G search page without the listing along the left side of the page, see http://theoldgoogle.blogspot.com/ . Google changed their page, that is not something Firefox can control. See the section "Latest News" for a statement from G about no longer supporting the old search page design.
Sidebar removal tool is great news! Still left with tabbed start page and info pages; equally maddening! Any ideas on this one??
Not sure what you mean by "tabbed start page and info pages"
Maybe a screenshot would help along with more detail.
Not Hank N., are you?

Hi, sorry, not Hank!
Hope these screenshots help; recently noticed that if you "Google" Google you get the old page shown!
Cheers,
