How To Make Firefox 4 Look Like Version 3

If you’ve upgraded to Firefox 4, you’ve undoubtedly noticed there are several changes to the layout of the user interface. If you’re not a fan of it for whatever reason, you can make it look like Firefox 3 with an add-on and a couple of other tweaks.

9. Another thing you might need to do is go back into Customize Toolbar and move the Home icon from the right side of the screen to the left.

10. That’s all there is to it! Now you have Firefox 4 with all it’s under the hood benefits, but it looks like Firefox 3 which may be more familiar for you.
