I just downloaded Firefox 4 but there is no "connection scale" on the right hand bottom of the screen and no icons on the top left of the screen like a "home" for home page etc. top
On the old Firefox 3.0 I had a 'connection scale" on the bottom right hand corner (just above the time) which shows you the extent of connection. I also had icons on the top left hand corner of a 'home' for home page...etc. On Firefox.4.0 these are missing. Can they be obtained by the "settings"?

I'm not sure what you mean by "connection scale". If you are referring to the padlock, this has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
The Home button by default has been moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar, you can move it back. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
If any buttons are missing, you can restore them as shown here - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing
Adding to what has already been mentioned, perhaps you are looking for the progress bar which used to show at the bottom right corner of Firefox while opening a website. In Firefox 4, this has been replaced by the rotating wheel on the left side of each tab.
If you wish to get the progress bar back, you can install this Firefox add-on: status-4-evar.
Hey thank you very much for that info. Yes that sounds better a "progress bar"..I called it a 'connection bar'.
...I'll tell you when I download and install them
