Latest update (10/2/24) is impossible to use. How can I get back the prior version for Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 on my Macbook Air?
I have a TBI that really limits my ability to process information. The tabs now have a dropdown that is very confusing and gets in the way of my working. I have to shut Firefox and leave the computer, but of course when I am recovered from the confusion, I come back to the same situation.
I was able to find a way to stop the even-more-frustrating dropdown video preview, but it's not enough.
I have relied on FF for years, but it seem that putting more bells & whistles is more important than providing a functional browser interface. Please explain to me in plain English how to remove the overloaded browser and revert to a version I can utlize without a breakdown.

Type about:config into the search/URL bar.
That will bring up a warning which you'll have to acknowledge.
On the next screen there's a search box at the top. Type or paste browser.tabs.hoverPreview.enabled into it. That will then appear below with the word true next to it. Double-click true and it will change to false.
I don't understand. I do not get the results you said would happen, I don't understand code and I need a simple dummy-proof way to do this. To you, this is probably really simple but for me it's like trying to decipher Greek.
Please understand: I have a TBI from being hit by a bus as a pedestrian. About a third of my right frontal lobe function is broken. I'm lucky to manage "on/off" kinds of things, butthis solution may work for people with a fully-functional processing brain, but that's not me.
