Yahoo and Incredimail have added toolbars I don't want, and someone has moved the tabs to the top. Instead of changing them everytime i start Firefox, can and eliminate them as defaults?

All I want is the standard Ff toolbar with File,Edit, etc, followed by the Google toolbar, then the tabs. I can remove the two unwanted ones and move the tabs to the bottom, but Ff doesn't retain this the next time I boot. suggestions?

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

To restore the old appearance right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar context menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.

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

You can use this extension to get the Status Bar back:
