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 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 installed 5.0.1 version and I can't find the Firefox orange button. Previously I added in this button many web sites. I hope I didn't lose them. How may I get this orange Firefox button back?

    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.

  • 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.

  • I upgraded from 3.6 and could not get the orange Firefox button but only a grey one with misaligned commands. When I hit View/Menu Bar even this button has vanished and the screen resembles 3.6

    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.
    See:

  • Desktop XP Firefox tab on Google homepage, laptop HP Win7 not! I need the Orange Firefox Tab. Help!!!1

    I have been using Google for my home page. Google has gone to Google +. I am not interested. When I open my Google Home page, blank of course, on my HP laptop, Win7, I do not see the orange tab at the left top that lets me do 'good stuff'. On my desk top, Win XP, I still see the orange tab. Why is this different? I really need that Orange tab a the top left. It is the portal to many features I use. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for your suggestion. I woke up at 3:00 am and that really bugged me, so I finally found an area to click, and discovered I had accidentally hit the 'full screen' button. It is next to the +/- for text. Given how Google is messing around, I erroneously suspected them. Anyhow I will remember that. Yes, it is Firefox. Thanks again.

  • Where is the orange Firefox box

    I don't have the orange Firefox button in the upper left corner.
    I just downloaded Firefox and the button was not there.

    If the tabs are at the top (default position), you can move them underneath the location bar where you type in a web address by right clicking either the Home button, or the Tab bar (tab bar is where the tabs appear) and then click "Tabs on top".
    Other things you can do:<br><br>
    * To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.<br><br>
    * To replace the status bar at the foot of the page, install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/<br><br>

  • 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.
    Thanks

    The 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.

  • New firefox installed - didn't give me the option of not installing it before telling me that (essential to me) add-ons were incompatible. How can I get the old firefox version back?

    I would not have installed the new firefox if I had known in advance that two of my essential add-ons would no longer work. Now I want the old firefox version back so I can continue to function until the add-ons are updated. Suggestion: when you notify user that add-ons are incompatible, give the option of reverting to an earlier firefox version.

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Why doesn't my Firefox 4.0 Beta 3 Look like the beta 1 in the video? Like, where is the yellow firefox button?

    Ok, so i've been looking froward to the new beta, and i always wanted the yellow Firefox button and the smart download section, instead of the old pop-up one witch is annoying by the way.
    I'm currently using the Firefox 4.0 Beta 3.
    And the only thing that is changed is that the taps on the top..
    but it's not see through or anything like in the preview videos.
    Please help!

    Some of the new things are not shown by default in XP but easily established.
    Right click on a toolbar space and
    * Uncheck the Menu Bar; this will hide the Menu Bar and show the orange Firefox Button in the top left hand corner. You can toggle from one to the other.
    * Check Tabs on Top. This will move the Tab Bar above the Navigation Bar - remember you are not showing the Menu Bar. I must admit that I prefer tabs in their traditional place where they are nearer the web page action.
    For moved and combined buttons this will help -

    Hold on,
    Have you talked to your carrier to confirm the unlock?
    What was the procedure you did to unlock the phone?
    Standard unlocking procedure once processed by the carrier:
    Backup in iTunes
    Erase the phone (ignore restore terminology here)
    Plug the phone to the computer and then launch iTunes
    Wait for unlock notification.
    Restore the backup.

  • Do you really need the shoes to make this product work?

    I just saw some information on the TV about this. My question; if anyone can help with it, is do you REALLY need the shoes to make this work. I mean all it is is a little disk and a wireless plug-in for the Nano. It would really help me out if someone can tell me.

    You do not need the shoes to make it work. Check out this thread for ways people have gotten the sensor to work with non-nike+ shoes: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=559827&tstart=75
