It's total mess on Mavericks (OSX), the UI's a joke, not to mention plain broken in a few ways... Any idea how to get it back to the way I had it configured, if not possible, then I'd like to go back to the prior beta release.

Thank-you.

Update

Note this thread relates to a user that was using Firefox 29 in advance of its general Release whilst it was still in development and testing on the Beta Channel.


For now just move back to the Release channel and use Firefox 28. When you do that take care NOT to delete the Firefox profile, or use any options to remove personal settings.

Moving forward you will meet the same problem again shortly and may then wish to consider using an addon to try to change Firefox to be more like it was

I am making the assumption that what you are seeing is intended changes. There is a possibility that you have actually found something that is broken but you will need to give more details so that can be checked.

Ended-up disabling all the add-ons that reinstate old UX paradigms(1), have mostly adapted to the new UX now, w/a few twks here & there. I won't get rid of those add-ons entirely, just disabled, for now. Wunderlist add-on still doesn't work well in the new UX, so it's disabled too, hopefully that'll be resolved eventually.

(1)except The Addon Bar, it's enabled but I currently don't have the toolbar activated, trying that for a while
