God, Firefox 29 is ugly.

You can tweak it to look better. :)

This may come in handy if you want some of your old bits and bobs back.

First thing I did was to put the title bar back and then go and get the latest 'status4evar' extension.

It looks more like Chrome with every update.

I ditched Firefox for Chrome recently. I found FF had become slow at page rendering an was hogging memory. Chrome is running much faster and isn't dragging down my whole system performance.

I have tried the addons to make it look like the last version but they don't fully do the trick. I am on a mobile connection this weekend so will stick with firefox and then change to chrome when i return

Thanks very much for the link, I've just installed it. Why did they have to change things just for the sake of it? They would be far better off (and keep more users) if they just restricted themselves to security and essential updates.

You could always go back to v28 or swap over to Waterfox. :)

If I go back to the older version would there not be a security issue and would it not keep trying to update

Re: Firefox 29
 
I was using 29 as a beta version so had quite a while to kick it about and once I tweaked it found it to be better than I expected. I am currently running V30 and it again needs some work arounds to make it feel comfortable. I understand V31 could reverse some of the more irritating aspects of V29 but nothing is finalised as yet.

As far as I know Sirius you can go back a version without a problem. I have done so in the past and not been pushed into updating to the current version, but, I do keep both versions on my computer so that I can compare them so maybe this stops Mozilla nagging me.
