I loaded the new Firefox 4.0 on April 1, and reloaded it today.

All the introduction videos show, top left corner, the word Firefox, with a drop down arrow for a menu to all the features. I am not getting that word or drop down arrow.

Just spent a few minutes, it looks like the rest of the top of my screen looks like that shown on the videos, so this is the only thing I am missing. Where is it?!

Then, a feature I used A LOT, seems to be gone now. I go on 3 forums regularly. I am used to using the forum search for New Posts Since Last Visit. I will click on a thread, post a reply, and then there used to be a drop down in the upper left area, I could click back to the SAME list of search for New Posts Since Last Visit. I can't find this now, it saves me a lot of time on the forums.

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP 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.


If you are referring to the drop-down list of previous sites visited, you can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker
