Get rid of orange firefox button
God almighty who decides that change simply for the sake of saying something is new means it is good? Please tell me how the hell to get rid of this horrible and totally useless bog ass orange ugly firefox button that is now in the upper left of my browser... Seriously that looks like a retarded kid with downs drew it while smoking crack.

Firefox didn't install the beta software on its own nor can it even do that. You must've made the jump from the 'release' channel to the 'beta' channel somehow.

Mozilla doesn't mess around with your configuration settings nor does it want to.

Okay then. Your choice.
It seems like you've been writing in about Firefox 29 a lot considering you made the jump yourself (or inadvertently) whilst blaming Mozilla for forcing this update on you. You can simply opt out of the Beta, download whatever version your heart desires, and disable automatic updates. Simple. Be aware that as more Firefox versions get pushed out, the one you are using now will become severely outdated and be more susceptible to security holes that have been patched in future versions.

Yahoo toolbar suddenly imposed itself as my log on screen whenever I booted up my computer and clicked on Firefox. Now I can't get to my bookmarks even though it told me that if I activated the new bookmark system it would transfer my old ones. It didn't happen. The toolbar has no bar for typing in a www.http address. I cannot use it and don't want it. I am using Explorer just so I can access my bookmark address, but don't like Explorer. I want my old Firefox screen back that has the little orange button in the upper left corner of the screen. How can I get there? My computer use has been highly curtailed by this unrequested invasion!
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

How to get orange "firefox" button back?
I'm using Firefox 30 (PC) and love the new design, but I miss the orange 'Firefox' button. Is there an add on that will get it back, without replacing the new australis theme? Thanks for your time!
I hope this works well for you.

I installed the new (5.0.1) Firefox version to my laptop with Windows Vista and I can't find any trace of the Orange Firefox Button in the left upper corner. I need this button for normal exploitation of Firefox. And, formerly, I added plenty of websites to former version of Firefox (to orange button of this former version). Tell me please: 1. How may I have this orange button in my Firefox? 2. How to get back those websites written in former Orange Firefox Button?

This problem has been done before. Break this down into something simpler. You don't need an applet. Just do it on the command line. You don't need a database. Just create a flat file if you need some persistent data. Do the simple thing first, then build out from there.
Click on the special tokens link up above and learn how to use [ code][ code] tags.
Your code is a big, unreadable mess. You've got pare this down into something sensible. If you can't understand it, it's unreasonable to expect someone on this forum to wade through all of that. - MOD -
How do I get the orange firefox button to show up on the top left corner of my page?
So, I've installed, and reinstalled the new Firefox 4. It seems like only half the features have shown up. For example, I don't have the orange firefox button in the top left corner. I also don't have the button for bookmarks. On every other machine that I've installed firefox 4 on has not had issues like this. I don't know why I'm having issues on my laptop. If there's a way to fix it, I would appreciate it. I don't mind how it is right now, but I do like the cleaner look and the orange firefox button, instead of the buttons that show up now that are labeled: "File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, etc."
* You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).
* If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily. -
I use Win7 on a desktop PC. I upgraded Firefox 3.6 to 4.0. Where there should have been the orange firefox button was a grey button 'Firefox' with a small arrow. on clicking this the commands were there, but not properly aligned. There was also no minimise/maximise/exit buttons on the top right of the screen. I checked 'Help' and found no info. I then turned on View/Menu Bar. The minimise/maximise/exit buttons appeared; the grey button vanished and the screen now resembles FF 3.6. However About tells me that I am using 4.0.
BTW, I also tried various Beta versions in 2010 and abadnoned them because the same problem happened.The orange Firefox menu button will only appear if the menu bar is hidden.<br />
Are you using a custom theme (Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes) ?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Orange Firefox Button Is No Longer Aligned With Tabs In Firefox 28
A few days ago I was extremely happy with the browser that I was using, although after I was forced into upgrading to what was probably one of the ugliest and most unusable interfaces ever conceived (really, what is it with the internet and thinking that forcing gigantic changes on users with no option to revert is a good thing? If I had no problems using Firefox before, then I most certainly wasn't asking for a terrible change that would completely move (or in some cases even remove) all of features that I frequently used), I had no choice but to downgrade to Firefox 28 (please don't give me a lecture about the security risks, after trying to use 29 and getting extremely frustrated about how it was far LESS easy to use that 28, I really don't care at this point).
So, since reinstalling Firefox 28, the Orange Firefox button (which most definitely didn't need to be replaced with some other terrible button, as the Firefox Button already worked perfectly fine) is no longer aligned on the same line as my tabs, and instead floats above them for some reason. If anyone can help me fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it.
ThanksThe problem exists whether the window is maximized or not, although I do usually like to keep all of my windows maximized.
Thanks for the reply. -
I really, really, really need the orange firefox button back.
I cannot use Firefox anymore if the orange Firefox button is not brought back. The annoyance and anger caused from this is seriously at the point that it causes me physical pain. I would like to make some observations regarding this change.
1. Only you (Firefox, employees and owners) care about the amount of work put into this update. Work means nothing if the result isn't quality.
2. You claim to make Firefox more customizable with this update, but you don't allow users on of Firefox's most useful and classy features after this update.
3. The new menu button does not contain the functionality of the old menu button as the old menu button gave users the functionality of the full menu bar and the new menu button doesn't. Functionality used to be more important to Firefox than design.
4. I get it that you just want to remove the options that people don't use much, but that is what tool bars and icons are for. When someone clicks on a menu, that needs to be the "end all" when it comes to the functionality for a program. When a user has to click around multiple places for more functionality, there is a poor navigation system. Steve Krug wrote this nice book called "Don't Make Me Think" that does a good job explaining how websites should set up their navigation system so that it aids user functionality.
4. You (the admin/tech reading answering this question) are probably starting to role your eyes and think of how I'm just another annoying user who can't handle change and needs stop complaining and just accept that Firefox is doing something good for me.
5. There is a 99.9% chance that my complaint will get a "I'm sorry you feel this way," response and nothing will get done about it.
6. I didn't think Mozilla was the type of company that worked that way.
Please prove me wrong and help fix this problem. If I want a browser with rounded tabs at the top and a mobile phone styled menu button in the top right I can use Chrome. At least their right side menu button is functional. Also, I don't know where you guys get that heat map stuff, but throughout the history of computers, everyone learns from day one that the top right is where you look to close things, the top left is where you go to find your menu.
P.S. I would hope that anyone reading this complaint would know better than to ask what I mean by less functional, but just in case, I will explain. When I click file on the old school menu system that is still permitted, I can choose New Tab, New Window, and New Private Window. In the three line mobile style menu, I cannot choose new tab. Under the File menu, I can choose Open File, Save Page, or Email Link. Under the new menu, I can only choose Save Page. This is the definition of removing the functionality of a menu button.''''' "An example of a few options that I cannot add to the new menu are Page Setup, Print Preview, and Work Offline." '''''
Are you aware that the original (pre-Firefox 4.0 version) Menu Bar still is just one click away? Simply hit the '''Alt''' key or the '''F10''' key to temporarily show the ''real old'' Menu Bar, which has '''all''' the menu items available, including many that weren't in the orange Firefox button - ''which IMO was a piece of garbage, with the limited number of menu items that it contained, and served to confuse users who were used to older versions of Firefox when they wanted a menu item that wasn't there.''
IMO, that 3-bar menu button and panel wasn't made as direct replacement for the former orange Firefox button menu - its' value is to replace the now missing Add-on bar, otherwise ''IMO'' Mozilla wouldn't have made those buttons so large, and taking up so much space. <br />
Then again, this new UI isn't made for desktop PC's, it was made for Mobile devices and then adapted to function in the desktop environment. Desktop users "got the short end of the stick". -
How do I get rid of the "Downloads" button on my bookmarks toolbar? Somehow it just appeared and I can't get rid of it.
Firefox 20 changed from the old Download Manager to a new Download Panel. You can find a complete write-up here: [[Find and manage downloaded files]].
I suggest keeping that arrow around since it provides handy notifications. You can use the Customize feature to drag it down to the add-on bar where it won't take up as much space. To start customizing:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar > Customize
* tap the Alt key > View menu > Toolbars > Customize
If you really don't need it, just drag it to the Customize dialog. You can always come back for it later if you like. -
I prefer my Firefox 7 layout How do I get rid of this Firefox 8 and go back top my old browser
On my old Firefox I had a button that told me when a new email came to my hotmail account I clicked on it and it opened my inbox straight away, It had a check for new emails as well, this has now gone. I had another that I could click on and it showed me the weather and one that opened a calender, money converter, translator etc. The tabs were lower down on top of the main page not just under the File Edit View etc tabs. I want my old browser back . How can I get rid of this Firefox 8 or how do I change it to I had it set up before
You're welcome

I can't update to the latest version with the orange Firefox button.
On public computers, I've used a version of Firefox that features an orange Firefox button that replaces the menu bar. On my home computer, even though I've used the "About Firefox" link to update the software, I still do not have the orange Firefox button. I am currently on version 18.0.1 on my home computer.
How else can I go about getting the orange Firefox button to replace the menu bar? Thanks.It's easier than you imagine:
View > Toolbars > ''uncheck'' Menu Bar
Occasionally you might want to access the classic menu bar after that. Tap the Alt key to reveal it. -

You are using Firefox 29. The changes used the code name ''Australis''. The Firefox button is now replaced with a new button on the right

As the question states, I tried updating from Firefox 3 to Firefox 4 two different ways and though I see a difference, it's definitely not all of Firefox 4. I updated with the auto update installer and downloaded the exe and installed and it's still not right. I don't have the new Firefox style or the Infamous Orange Firefox button. My Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, Etc...) is still there as well. The only thing that has really changed is the tabs going above the URL bar. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
To get the new style UI you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them. -
Can I get rid of the TOC button on the playbar?
My project is set up to have a TOC and for most of my project I use a TOC button with widget to open the TOC. I am also using the Playback control Pearl for a portion of my project. When in this section where the playback control is active if I choose the TOC button to skip to a portion of the project it keeps the playback control and TOC open even though those slides initially are set to not show the playback control or TOC unless a button is clicked.
Any help on how to get rid of the TOC button on the playback control or to automatically hide this after you jump to a different part of the project?
