One of the nicer features of Firefox are the ongoing upgrades, but after the latest one I lost my "Favorites Icon". When I switched from Internet Explorer there was an option to continue the use of "Favorites" as opposed to "Book Mark" and since I was accustomed to using "Favorites" so chose to keep doing so. Now it's gone and I want it back. I have no desire to waste my time adjusting browsers when I go on line. Bob Wyce

That was not a built-in option of Firefox. Were you using the PlainOldFavorites add-on, if so there is an updated version that works with Firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/plainoldfavorites

I can't get my bookmarks from my AT&T Yahoo tool bar. All my saved bookmarks are there. I have the menu bar with bookmarks and favorites. But I need my other tool bar. How do I go back to the previous version of Firefox? I dont' like this 4.0

Tony I did this and my menu bar now has my Favorites, but I have AT&T/SBC internet service and they use Yahoo... All my needed bookmarks are on that tool bar. I added the Yahoo toolbar and it does not work and none of the icons show.
