Firefox 29 switched from that orange button at the upper left to a 3-bar (hamburger) button on the far right end of the main toolbar. I made some comparisons showing where things moved: http://jeffersonscher.com/res/menu/comp.php

If you want to customized Firefox to have the orange button, you will need an add-on. A popular one is mentioned in this support article: How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox.
