How do I stop the update alerts (they slow my system)
I updated Firefox on my system and was immediately lost. I could not find the controls I'n accustomed to and the only way I could get it off my system was to rebuild my system from a restore point. Is there any way to update my Firefox and retain the screen exactly as it is?
Chosen solution
Photon is a new design that creates a fluid, native experience on every operating system. There is more room above the tabs, the search bar and address bar now have the option to be combined or separated, and the menus in Firefox are organized by common tasks.
In order to customize all your favorite functions, you can use the ‘Customize’ setting in this new menu. See the Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars article for more info.
Where is the Downloads button?
The Downloads button is not shown by default, but will appear when you download a file from the web. If you want to permanently add it to the toolbar, follow the steps in this article to find and add it to the toolbar.
How can I reorder my New Tab Preferences (about:newtab)?
Currently you cannot change the layout of the new tab page, but I recommend having a look at the addons.mozilla.org website where you may find an add-on that will help you customize that page.

Your question is confusing what was lost and how would you get something back that wasn't there?

You can click the Download icon on the Navigation Toolbar in customization mode to show the selection whether to autohide the Download button. This only works then the Customize palette is visible. Open the Customize window and set what toolbars (Show/Hide Toolbars) and toolbar items to display.
- Right-click empty toolbar area -> Customize
- "3-bar" menu button -> Customize
- View -> Toolbars
*you can tap the Alt key or press the F10 key to show the hidden Menu Bar temporarily
