When exiting Firefox with multiple tabs open, no notification is given...

How can I go back to Firefox 4?

I had the google toolbar when I had firefox 4... I upgraded to 5.0 and it still works... My friend tried to load it and it doesn't work.

Do you mean that Privacy options can't be accessed in the Options dialog, or Private Browsing doesn't work??

Could you test with a new profile to see whether the update might have caused a settings problem, or you have an incompatible add-on?

First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See Backing up your information. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)

Next, close Firefox and fire up the Profile Manager to create a new profile: Managing profiles.

If that work, you can migrate your bookmarks, saved passwords, and other key settings to the new profile, see: Recovering important data from an old profile.

Hope this helps.
