Hi all,

Firefox 29 was released today.  This is one of the biggest UI changes in a long time.  It takes some getting used to, but at the core it's still the same ol' Firefox.  (if you haven't seen the update yet and are using auto-update, you'll probably see it in the next day or so).

The most obvious change is the addition of a new Menu button, and the removal of the addon/status bar. If your ReminderFox icon is not visible after the update, it's easy to add. 

1) Click on the Firefox menu button in the top right.  That will open a popup dialog; at the bottom click 'Customize'.
This will show a Window with "Additional Tools and Features" which displays all of the available buttons/icons supplied by all of your addons. 
2) You should see a Foxy icon labeled Reminderfox, as well as a red ribbon icon labeled ReminderFox.  Drag the icon of your choosing (they are both the same; just different icons); you can now drop it anywhere on the top toolbar, or alternatively you can drop it on the popup menu.  The difference in these placements is that icons on the toolbar are always visible, whereas icons on the popup menu are only shown when you click the Menu button. 
3) Once you are satisfied with your Reminderfox icon placement, click Exit Customize and you should be all set.

If you need additional details, see this Firefox help page showing how to customize the new Firefox:

I hope this helps; let me know if you run into any issues with the latest Firefox update.
Thanks
Tom
