That sounds like the difference between the new Firefox home page about:home and the previous Google Search page which has GMail at the top if you used GMail.

You can change your home page so that it points to what you had before, which It would be something like:

Note on Google pages

  • They won't show GMail at the top until you have gone to GMail

Directions to reset your home page:

More on Search and on Keyword Shortcuts

But I don't really understand why you or anyone else would want to use such a page for a home page, it is redundant. You have as many search engines as you want in the search bar, the default search is Google.

You can invoke GMail, any search, any bookmark, any bookmarklet with a keyword shortcut .

You're not stuck with how the toolbars have been changed in Firefox 4.0, this is Firefox, you can customize it. That is why Firefox became so popular, you can customize it how you want it with Customize Toolbars, Extensions, Themes, Styles.

You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)
