I'm not sure what happened to your menus and toolbars. Did this happen after a Firefox update, or a change in your add-ons?
(1) You can switch between the orange Firefox button with its abbreviated menus, and the classic menu bar, using the following:
Alt+v (opens the classic View menu) > Toolbars > Menu Bar
(2) On the new tab, did you want it to be blank? Does it currently have the AVG-powered search? If you want to get rid of the AVG search, you probably need to disable to remove one or more add-ons from here:
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Does that make any difference?
(3) The reload button is nestled at the end of the address bar, after the star icon and the drop-marker. If you prefer to have your reload button on the bar itself, you can do that using the Customize feature.
Alt+v (opens the classic View menu) > Toolbars > Customize
In order to prevent the reload button from sliding back into the URL bar, you can do any of the following:
- Move the reload button to the left side of the address box
- Move some other button between the address box and reload
- Move some other button between the reload and stop buttons
- Switch the order of the reload and stop buttons
Can you get it the way you want?

jscher, Thank you that fixed my problem. I had sort of gotten there but you helped me the rest of the way. Thank you(:)!
Current Firefox versions only show the "Tabs on Top" menu entry in the "View > Toolbars" menu and in context menus if the tabs aren't in the default position on top.
If the tabs are on top and the menu entry isn't available and you want to move the tabs below the navigation toolbar then you need to flip the browser.tabs.onTop pref to false on the about:config page.
You can set the String pref browser.newtab.url to "about:blank" on the about:config page to get an empty page if you open a new tab.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
You can start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
