I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 .0 and in the process I lost the option to search either world-wide or 'Australian websites only' which previously used to appear in the centre of the page. Also now I have to go to the top right of the page in the section marked 'Google' to print my search topic, instead of in a large box in the centre of the page. Why has this changed? and can it be restored to the previous format please? Thanks JF

Firefox 4 uses a new build-in home page called about:home
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com.au or www.google.com.au/firefox used in Firefox 3 versions.

I do not want google.com I want the aussie google.

I do not want any google as my homepage either.

How do I remove firefox 4 and restore the previous version.

Or do I have to migrate to opera to get a decent browser and decent service
