I don't have the new Firefox button

I've upgraded our XP pc to Firefox & I don't have the new Firefox button - I've still got the old File - Edit etc menu at the top. The Tabs etc have all changed - it's just the button that hasn't appeared. My husband has a different XP user on the same pc, and he does have the new button, rather bizarrely (since, presumably, we're both running the same software!).

Chosen solution

The Firefox button is only a default feature for Windows Vista and 7. To have the Firefox button in Windows XP, go to:

View > Toolbars and UNCHECK the Menu bar. Then the Firefox button should appear. Please read this article for more details:
