Installing Firefox 4 made the Home and other icons I used frequently disappear and changed the access to Google. Now, after I finish on a website and want to return to the "Start" page, I have to close the tab and start all over. Not a great design, ya know?

The home icon by default has moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.

If the other icons that you miss are the stop/go/reload buttons, in Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.

When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.

If you want separate buttons stop/go/reload buttons, or want to move the home button, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again.
