The following add-ons have totally disapeared from my mozilla, but are still working since they are popping up. they are: WebMail Notifier, FoxClocks, Download Statusbar Mini along with some others. Not only did this happen, but the whole Mozilla Firefax layout has been scrambled ever since the last update has been applied.

To make v4.0.1 look like the previous version, do the following.


  • Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the location bar.
  • Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top.
  • To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps but choose "Customize" from the menu. 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.
  • 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/
