Default Firefox problem

I have had this issue since firefox forced me to update to its latest version.
The home button, the refresh, bookmarks all move to various spots on the right side of the address bar, AND my ghostery and downloadhelper get GONE!
Now, I know HOW to put them all back and so its all on the left, and bring back my optional items, However, next time I turn on the computer the lil suckers have moved again!
I know exactly WHY Firefox has done this, but I want a permanent fix...... anyone??
Thanks!
PS>> I know HOW to put them all back and so its all on the left. Do I need Gorilla Glue??

32bit or 64bit system? What's your OS?

win 7, 64 bit, quad core, 3.4 Gighz, 16 gig ram..
I know firefox moved the stuff for advertising reasons, I saw the facebook internal memo about firefox changes to follow facebook putting ads on the right and getting people to LOOK to the right. Problem is we are not in japan, we read from left to right....
I wish mine ( reload, home, bookmarks, and of course it cancels out any add on)would stay put where I put them.
thanks for any ideas..

Nice system! When we upgraded to 64bit computers I found similar problems. I switched us over to Waterfox and everything has been smooth sailing. Waterfox is designed for 64bit systems and works well with Win7.
