I was having a pretty old version of Firefox (16?) and decided to upgrade it today. So I updated using the following steps:

1) Click orange Firefox menu button 2) Help> About 3) Click Check for updates and click update

But after Firefox updated I noticed that I'm not getting the new UI. Please take a look at the screenshot. I'm seeing the following issues:

  • The Aero theme is not present. I'm still getting the old theme. Look at the top - there is no space above the tabs
  • Got a huge right click menu (solved after updating Firebug)
  • Buttons and UI is still old. Look at the Back/Forward buttons
  • Bookmarks button is not present (in the website it shows on the right side next to the search bar)
  • The whole browser still feels like the old one only when I'm scrolling around and surfing. I used the ne v22 in my office workstation and that felt more sturdy and crisp. I don't know whether this one is running on the old engine or some update didn't happen properly.

hello, there haven't been significant interface changes between firefox 16 & 22 - your screenshot pretty much shows the firefox interfeace how it's expected to be. the only part different from the default is that you've set the display of small icons (therefore your back/forward button may look differently than on other machines).

Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars

Thanks for replying. I fixed the small icons problem by clicking on "Restore Default Set" under the toolbar > customize settings.

However, that aero look is still remaining. The new FF has a glass-like look but mine is still having the old border. And there is some extra space at the top in the new one (next to the FF orange button). Any idea why that isn't showing up?

Bump. Could someone please help me to restore the Aero look to FF?

Is the Firefox window maximized?

Try just installing Firefox again, go to "getfirefox.com", and it'll replace the old one that you did have.
