Coloring the back/forward arrows when history is present, how?
When the back/forward buttons have history FF3 used to color them in, FF4 shows them in slightly different shades of gray as it seems, but I can't really tell. Is there any way to change that back to FF3 behavior?
In general, is there a way to plug the FF3 UI on top of FF4? The more I use FF4 the more I think the user experience is much worse compared to FF3. The UI was never FF's problem, now it is. *sigh*

In Firefox 4 you can press F10 or use "Firefox > Customize" to make the Menu Bar and other toolbars visible and remove the check-mark on "Tabs on Top" to place the tab bar in the old position.
You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.
You will have to search for a theme that has a better color scheme if you do not like the new look in Firefox 4.

I'll wait until a few more themes are available and pick one that suits best. Thanks!
The theme makes no difference, I've found as the buttons are 'ingrained'. Moving the tabs is a doddle and I didn't find anything wrong with the History or Bookmarks, but what is maddening is that the Refresh and Home buttons are all over the place - why do they have to do that, just when you get used to something? It's like a supermarket, changing things to make you look around - except there's nothing new to see and it just takes up more of your time!! ;-þ I've reverted back to v3 until they get this sorted out; there's no tangible difference as far as I can make out and the so-called 6x speed increase is not apparent - yet! It still takes an age to open.... <yawn> :-/ Still better than IE tho'! lol
Not at a all a fan of this "improved" UI. Slowly figuring out how to get things where I want them.
Not being able to customize the forward, back, home, and refresh buttons is annoying.
Not being able to drag and drop them without opening the customize option isn't intuitive.
The fact I couldn't just drag and drop them where I wanted had me ready to look for another browser.
