--AERO-- colors of windows and aero transparency in Windows 7
Firefox is now at 7.0.1 so going back from 6.0.1 would be two versions back and possibly be on an unsupported browser. You want to customize what you have to change rather than running older code.
The color you used to have either came from a Theme or from your Windows 7. on my Windows 7 page, I describe changes I made for color in item #11 when installing Windows 7
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/windows-7/win7.htm
Turn off transparency in Windows 7
*Personalization (Control Panel): Uncheck enable transparency, Color Intensity (to the Max), Blue Twilight (color)
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Personalization then at the bottom Window color Transparency turn off, and adjust color characteristics. ([http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/w7_window_color_and_appeance.png picture])
In order to WOW users that Firefox developers could carry over Aero effects into Firefox they neglected to check to see if users turned off transparency so you have an eclectic combination of transparency on or off. That said you, may have to change colors yourself with a Style. In the following I set colors for my toolbars and in the description comments you will see additional changes for Windows 7 so you won;t have transparency where you (or at least I) don't want it.

BACK/FORWARD button CLEAR HISTORY -- ''Is it possible to '''clear''' the "back/forward" history of a specific tab? :''
: https://support.mozilla.com/questions/847384 has following answer but cor-el has a better solution though pasting code into the error console ("Ctrl+Shift+J") is awkward to use -- there has to be an easier implementation. ...
You can go back to the earliest entry in the tab and open a new page so that you remove all of the forward history, but you can't remove the original or reduce it to just the original entry in the tab.
App-tabs are pretty much like regular tabs except that the tab is protected from opening a direct link or bookmark to another site within the app-tab -- that does not apply to bookmarks with substitution or javascript as they will open in the same app-tab.
App-tabs provide no more protection than normal tabs against web pages like this site while composing a reply where the typed text is frequently lost during composing and have to start over.
App-tabs are considered part of browsing history so you must save your browsing history for app-tabs to work. '''Tools > Options > Privacy''' you must have "Remember my browsing history" and in Settings where check marks mean to clear things you must leave unchecked "Browsing history". Annotated picture:

''BOOKMARKS TOOLBAR and sorting bookmarks''
I can't think of a logical order within folders that works better than alphabetical in most cases -- one exception is a bookmarks folder containing bookmarks to create a set of app-tabs in a specific order controlled by prefixing by numbers or many bookmark separators. The bookmarks toolbar is a possible exception but I have all of my bookmarks automatically sorted. I make use of bookmark separators to group bookmarks so that bookmarks are sorted within each group but not moved to another group. Here is a picture of my Bookmark Toolbar
:http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx5_before_after.png
Looks something like: [boldface are Folders (blue) vs. Bookmarks (red)]
:'''*5.0* _ Blogs Chaos SUMO''' | # + < > G GV H L Pz Sp Wi |''' K S '''sw| nBk Sc '''BF BugsBML'''| ...
:names are kept very short to save space on the toolbar 1-3 chars for most of them. The bookmarks there are used like toolbar buttons and they are all bookmarklets (contain JavaScript).
The folder and bookmark favicons are removed by a style managed by the Stylish extension:
* '''Stylish''' :: Add-ons for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
* '''Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks''' - Themes and Skins for Browser
http://userstyles.org/styles/46947/
The Sorting of bookmarks is by an extension, you can exclude any of the three major folders like the Bookmarks Toolbar. Don't use the automatic sort though, switch it to manual. Sorting takes about 3-5 seconds for all of my bookmarks.
* '''SortPlaces''' :: Add-ons for Firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sortplaces/
Another place that I use bookmark separators is at the end of huge folders, so that I can review naming, content and keyword assigned before allowing into the main portion of a folder.

''Google black Navigation bar at top''
You can make that black Google navigation bar a lot easier to read, along
with fixing the indistinguishable visited/unvisited links that you encounter
at Google, mozilla.org, mozilla.com, and mozillazine sites among others
with a style.
First install the "Stylish" extension

In case you weren't aware the "Yahoo Toolbar" is the scourge of most Firefox users
who encounter it. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
Basically the same applies to all third part toolbars as well.
If you want to wait until all or most of your add-ons have been updated to 4.0
you might want to monitor the progress right on your addons list in 3.6.* or 4.0.*.
Is It Compatible? :: Add-ons for Firefox, Are your add-ons compatible with the
next version of Firefox? Find out straight from the Add-ons window!
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/is-it-compatible/
You may have to read the developer notes and user comments, and developer's
home page and/or forum for more information about an add-on. The Firefox 4
beta was a beta for over a year, many minor changes do get made near the
end but many developers to avoid duplicate work on their part refixing things
wait until about a week before final release to start updating their add-ons if
they expect little change. It is basically not up to Firefox to wait on developers,
as addons are not part of Firefox. The monitoring of addons for Firefox 4 was
greatly improved by Compatibility Reporting by beta users, where addon developers
could quickly see what problems users were having which included operating system,
the beta version of Firefox, and more. I have 19 of my 83 extensions that
are "not compatible" but I use them anyway because I know they work.
http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/infolister_listing_fx4.htm#extensions
but I have checked them out in Compatibility Reporting based on the GUID number
that you can find in the about:support list

I use a bookmarklet to help me with that.
Once you are again on Fx4 you can make changes to make it appear as much like

Open your profile folder and go up one level to see if you have multiple profiles ...

:note the filename, then go up one level to see if you have additional profile folders.
Check the dates of places.sqlite (new in Fx3) for update date just before you went to Fx6 Since it is updated each time you close your session that would be a good place to check.
If you find one then note its filename (the profile name is part of the filename) and then start the Firefox Profile Manager and open with that profile.
To prevent the problem in the future don't let Firefox start up for you after downloading and installing a new version. Instead exit the install at that last point, and restart Firefox in your normal manner.

You can block the site yourself with the "'''Adblock Plus'''" (ABP) extension with your own filters
||mylife.com^
||reunion.com^
Neither site is blocked by the subscription filters "EasyList US" or "Fanboys". Adblock Plus will do nothing without filters and a subscription or two is easily added after installing ABP. The extension is large but well worth having on your main or only Firefox profile. I don't think either site comes close to being a hijacking.
A nice feature of Adblock Plus filters is that each subscription, and your own additions are maintained separately. Another is that you can bring up a "blockable items" report to see what can be blocked as well as what is blocked, and you can see the specific filter that is blocking an item.

The answer that you are probably looking for is what Google calls the '''I'm Feeling Lucky''' Search. Not quite what you describe but if there is one result that stands out as the most common result, you will get taken directly to the page. (Wouldn't work for me, I seldom find what I looking for in the first five hits.)
This will involve a change to your '''about:config''' configuration variables.
'''keyword.URL ''' default string
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
The '''&gfns=1''' is what gets you the I'm Feeling lucky search.

'''Cached files'''
You can change the location where they are stored via your about:config, by putting them outside of your profile, you will not be backing up files that don't belong with your profile. If you backup changed files, you might be retaining useless files that are no longer in your profile.
I like to put the cached files into a temporary file folder c:/temporary/ and within that a directory named for the profile and then the Cache directory for that profile, so for the '''default''' profile and Firefox-Five profile they would go into:
* c:\\temporary\\default_cache\Cache
* c:\\temporary\\Firefox-Five_cache\Cache
If you don't know the name of your profile, you can find it via '''about:support''' typed into the location bar, then click on "Open Containing Folder". The "default" profile would have a filename like xxxxxxxxx.profile, only "profile" is important to you, ignore the generated hash in front.
Next change or add the variables and vaues into '''about:config'''
CAPTCHA:
It's called a "captcha" but you have given no hint at what url (/site) you are seeing this at.

There may be other ways to depict an image and they might be blocked or missing a plug-in.

Firefox and Google Chrome look very similar as distributed, but Google Chrome is not very customizable compared to Firefox.
