    Default Firefox home page

    Hmmmmm,
    Today I seem to have lost the orange drop down ff button from the left top corner, as well as my bookmarks drop down arrow on the top right.


    I have toggled around trying with right clicking the top menu/toolbar area, but still can't find it?

    Clues

    Browser is version 29.

    edit
    This didn't help either


    edit 2

    Seems it is not an option now

    Yeah mine was 28 just updated to 29 and orange tab is gone.

    Bookmarks Tab on mine is the icon next to the star icon on the right hand side of the address bar

    Here you go.


    Open Firefox then click Ctrl + Shift + A or going into menu tools and select add-ons.

    On the right hand side type into add-ons search bar Classic Theme Restorer once it comes up in the drop down list select install

    Classic Theme Restorer 1.1.8

    Once the install is done you'll see the option restart now click it and when Firefox opens you'll have that orange tab back and a few other tabs.


    Worked for me

    Yep it's still the new version just with classic style add-on.

    Cool thanks for saving me time to work that out as mine will probably update today as well.
    Cheers, Tiny

    I needed to do this as well, as otherwise a new tab/page would not land on my home page

    Thx, personally I prefer the New tab as the 9 tiles of most used pages.

    Are you talking about the bar that sits below the address bar ? If so just go Alt V, toolbars then tick Bookmarks Toolbar.
