The new format on FF4 is confusing and difficult to use. Is there a setting where I can change it to show the FF3.6 format?
Myself and several of my friends were discussing the new Firefox layout for Firefox 4.0, and we find it difficult to use. We would like to have the option of using the new Firefox with the old 3.8 layout. That would make it much easier to use. One of my friends is vision impaired and having become accustomed to the old layout, is finding it almost impossible to transition.
I have uninstalled FF4.0 and re-installed FF3.8 so that I can have the familiar layout. Others are doing the same.

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.
- 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.
Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end of the location bar. During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button. If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button. You can middle-click that Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab.
In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure? on the left end of the location bar.
