[SOLVED]Firefox 4 missing Firefox button

Windows XP Pro SP3
default Firefox theme So I just installed Firefox 4 and expected to see a Firefox button a la Opera's O button. Ain't got no . . . I've tried hiding and showing the menu bar and starting in safe mode. Not only do I never see the Firefox button, when I hide the menu bar, all my tabs disappear, which is REALLY not helpful. With the menu bar hidden, all I have are the back and forward arrows, the wonder bar, the search bar, the home button and the bookmarks button--all these on one bar and there is no other bar. This is an improvement? I know there's Chrome/Chromium envy, but what has been attained is sub-minimal, and Firefox 4 is still much slower than Chrome/Chromium. Oh, I use Stardock Windowblinds. Has Firefox 4 been tested on Windows PCs running Windowblinds? Last edited by moziluser on March 25th, 2011, 12:22 pm, edited 1 time in total.
I think it may be because you are using Windows XP and not Vista or 7.
Right click on the menu bar and uncheck. The menu button will appear. Took me awhile to figure out too
Never mind. I checked the "Apps" toolbar and got a totally blank toolbar at the bottom of my Firefox 4 window. I expected to see some of my add-ons that weren't disabled. That was the last straw. I uninstalled Firefox 4 and reinstalled 3.6.15. Now everything works again.
I'll wait for Firefox 4.3, or maybe 5.3, before I try any newer versions of Firefox. That is, if I don't stop using Firefox altogether first.
+1 to this Pathetically, I have to quote myself:
People posting here make me think this forum is a complete waste of time and a great place NOT to get a problem solved. It looks like no one knows that you hide and show the menu bar by unchecking and checking the Menu Toolbar in the list of toolbars. I was doing this in Opera when the Firefox button was nothing but a dream in Mozilla developers' minds. Sigh. You view or hide the big O Opera button, equivalent to the Firefox button, in just the same way; i.e., mess with the menu tool bar. I better stop typing now. The problem is Windowblinds. By excluding FF 4 from Windowblinds so that the FF 4 window is rendered by Microsoft instead of Stardock, FF 4 works correctly.
Windowblinds renders its title bar on top of the FF 4 tab bar (where the FF button appears), thereby covering it up and making it invisible. That's why I couldn't see the FF button and why my tabs disappeared. Who knows what was going on with the empty Apps bar? The Apps are different than the Add-ons. I am disheartened to read that someone is downgrading because they couldn't right-click on the Apps bar and figure it out.
