I recently installed the newest version of firefox and I am not happy at all. I would like to 1) get rid of the star in the address bar, 2) not have my bookmarks in the drop down menu of my address bar and 3) I would like to be able to click on my drop down menu and easily see other sites I have typed into the address bar. Currently, the only way I can have a commonly used site appear in my drop down menu is if I have it bookmarked. Isn't that why I have the handy dandy "Bookmarks" button? Any help on how to reconfigure these changes will be appreciated!

Have you tried changing your settings under Tools/Options? If cannot change there - you can always save your bookmarks (export and save to your desktop) uninstall the new firefox, and then redownload/install Firefox 2.0.0.16 which is what I have, and everything is still where its supposed to be. I thought about d/l the new 3.1 version but after reading your issues, I dont think I will.
Perhaps by customizing your browser you may be better pleased with Firefox. There are many plugins go to TOOLS then select ADD-ONS. Some of these plugins may have been installed.
