Walter, my screen looks like your 2nd pic, except I have a KML link to the right of "Write a comment".

I'm using Classic GM, and I have the KML link on 1) desktop with Win 2000 Pro OS + obsolete version of Firefox, 2) laptop with Vista OS and latest compatible version of FF and 3) tablet with Android 4.1 and FF app.

BTW, you can select Classic GM if you choose, google for help.

I googled a bit for missing KML link:

Good luck figuring this out.
