Why is firefox 29 so ugly?

What made you guys decide to release an update that forces the interface to smash everything together in a terrible mess at the top of the window?

I appreciate that you guys did research to arrive at the new layout but making a release that forces the change is quite dumb. The fact that I have to use addons to get my original interface back is frustrating and ashame.

Terrible update, much dissapoint!

I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla .But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting.

Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:

Or if you want to go back to a previous version, completely feel free to use the old versions. Remember that this puts your machine and personal data at an increased risk.

Note: Please remember to be wary of what sites you download from as they may advertise Firefox 22 for example and package it as a Beta, RC, or other pre-release version and may have malware/adware or other unwanted items.
