The Menu bar & status bar are gone, but worst of all the tabs are all at the top of my computer. This is very annoying! How can i uninstall Firefox 4 & go back to the old one?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

If you do not like the new appearance of Firefox 4 then you can change some setting to restore the Firefox 3 appearance.
You can right click the orange Firefox button to open the toolbar menu or use (F10) View > Toolbars.

  • Click the Menu Bar entry to make the Menu Bar visible.
  • 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:
