How can i reconfigure 4.0 to look and act like the old version? If I uninstall 4.0, can I reinstall the old version and have all of my book marks , etc available. A personal observation: Interface to new version is terrible!!!

Having opened my browser (after an absence) I was asked if I wanted to upgrade to Firefox 4.0. I said ok without really thinking about it (my mistake).

I find the new interface confusing. I assume that the commands available under the version are available somewhere, but I have to go hunt around for them.

I was comfortable with and liked the old interface. Can I either reconfigure the new version to look like the old interface or can I simply reload the old interface (preserving bookbarks, etc)?

Firefox is highly customizable, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://redherring2.wordpress.com/2011/01/17/firefox-4-restoring-firefox-3-ui
