Hi, I would like to point out that the drag n drop feature of Firefox is not really good.
I have used many linux distribution and faced this problem from the day I started using Linux. I thought Firefox team would notice this, and work on this, so I didn't report any bug. But the problem stayed the same.
The Problem: When you try to drag a file from any file manager (I used Nautilus, Nemo, Thunar, Pcmanfm, and Dolphin file managers) on Linux, it will not instantly pop the "Drag files here" on supported websites. For example, when you try to upload files to mega, you have to drag and drop multiple times before getting it working. That doesn't happen with Chromium.
Even worse, if you try to drag and drop hundreds of files, Firefox will crash. I have also tried Firefox Nightly and Firefox Beta. Same. No improvement on them. Here I would like to attach a screenshot of the crash.

I'm running Manjaro linux XFCE 64bit. I have the latest version of Firefox installed from the Manjaro repositories (69.0.3-1). The flashplugin is also installed from the Manjaro repositories and is the latest version (32.0.0.270-1). In my plugin settings, Flash is set to ask to activate, and I've even tried turning off the "Block dangerous and intrusive Flash content" setting. Most websites that need Flash don't recognize that it is installed at all.
When I use Adobe's tools to check if Flash is installed, (https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html) this page doesn't show the ask to activate plugin in the URL bar until after I click on "Check Now" so their tool shows that I do not have Flash installed or enabled. If I click allow Flash on this page and then refresh the page, it seems like Flash gets disabled for that website again, and clicking "Check Now" once again shows that Flash is not installed or enabled.
Another page to check if it is installed is (https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/) which I found from downloading the flash plugin directly from Adobe in a readme.txt file. This page shows the Ask to activate directly on the Flash content, and when I click Allow, it recognizes that I have version 32.0.0.270 installed.
Most websites with Flash content that I want to use just don't show the Ask to activate prompt and show that I need to install Flash with the link to download from Adobe. I've tried uninstalling Flash and reinstalling, then rebooting my computer but that didn't help. This seems to be a reoccuring problem for me on linux, not just with Manjaro, but also Ubuntu, and even with other web browsers based on Chromium, like Brave browser. Does anyone know what causes this or how I can get Flash working on some pages?

Ugh. Even after using the theme restorer add-on, it's still not the same. What have you done, why have you done it?
What did making these changes accomplish, honestly? Stylized tabs? No option to turn them off without installing a theme? Why did you mess with the options? The fact that a theme exists just to revert your awful changes means that I'm not the only one that finds having all their settings and layout choices messed with upsetting.
Why mess with the design at all, without asking users to approve it? If you make the browser faster, great, fine. Why does the shape and placement of my tab bar have anything to do with that?
Seriously, who looked at the new design and thought "Yep! That's what we want! Approve it!"? How did multiple people approve this terrible crap?
Using the HTML Validator for Firefox, I have found that every page I open has errors, not just the ones I have designed; why?
Even using it on this page there are 5 errors geneated. I am using HTML Tidy. Is there something wrong? Am I using it incorrectly?

I've tried to setup sync between to machines. I already had an account and had previously setup sync.
However it's mind boggling difficult and just doesn't appear to work.
Machine 1, the one with the content I want to see on another machine. First off, in the Sync menu you get:
-Set up Firefox Sync -Pair a Device
Unless you know in advance, it's pretty unobvious to a a user which one you are meant to click!!
So clicking Set up Firefox Sync then I Have an Account which gives me a code.
On other PC I click Pair a Device as it tells me on machine 1 and enter the code - click Next and get whirling wheel until I then get options of:
-Set up Firefox Sync -Pair a Device
WTF????
Click I Have an Account
It asks for Account/Username and Recovery key....
I have no recovery key. Machine 1 does not have the menu option stated to find or reset it - WTF again!!!!
Machine 2 has an option of 'I have lost my other device', but it does nothing when you click on it - have another WTF!!!!!
Why is something that should be so simple so difficult?
And what do I need to do to actually get this to work?

I've tried to set-up the new sync with Firefox 30 Aurora, but it won't work since the sync page just displays a blank box. Inside this box is an iframe pointing to some location like accounts.firefox.com, which when viewed in Aurora still is blank, but in Chromium I can sign up and in general it works fine. This means that now, I've got an account, but I can't actually set-up sync on Aurora because the sync page is blank.

So I was just auto-upgraded to firefox 29, and I need to know: What exactly was the dev team thinking when they designed it? Title bar disabled by default? Total removal of the add-on bar? Tabs forcibly on top? Seriously, stop trying to be chrome. Chrome is aesthetically and functionally terrible, why do you keep trying to emulate them? I can't speak for the community, but for myself and for people I know, one of the main reasons we use firefox is because we strongly dislike chromes layout. For the time being, I've downgraded to v28, and disabled auto-updates.

Moderators, please read first before closing/removing this topic right away?
To those wanting to react here on this topic: please, also read ;)
Since my original posting https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/997009 was closed because one of the moderators felt it was going off-topic (although it was red a lot and had 131 "have-this-problem" in just a few days), here a kind of re-opening but on-topic.
Why? Because I feel we have the right to express our feelings on this major change. And publicly there is actually only this forum where that can be done on the Mozilla.org domain.
Sure, the change is there and we have to live with it (if we choose to). But that doesn't mean we can not have our voice here because after many, many years of supporting FF with our use, we suddenly are facing a layout we were always running away from.
So yes, that can cause ranting and so on (within the forum rules of course) because people feel strongly about there beloved browser.
(edit rules link note the whole topic is ordinarily outside the scope of the forum ... Posts in the Mozilla support forum must be either questions about the use of Firefox, ... Users who post about things other than Mozilla support will be directed to an alternative discussion place .... . ~J99)
Plus this way you can centralize all the negatives here instead of a lot of separate postings about the same subject ;)
To the people reacting here in this topic: there is only 1 real way to let Mozilla itself know how you feel on the new lay out and that is not through this forum. The way is to go to https://input.mozilla.org/feedback/ and let it know there.
edit You need to use a supported Firefox to post Feedback so that will soon not be possible from Fx28 2nd edit. I was wrong feedback works with any version of Fiefpx now~J99
And I think when that is done in normal words (so no f*ck you rants and so on) and suggestions, then maybe, just maybe, it has some effect.
Also, there is an Mozilla support page with info on how to get the "old look" back, see How to make the new Firefox look like the old FirefoxBut it will only partly restore the old look, certain FF29 things can not be changed.
And yes, I myself am back to Firefox 28 which is not supported or suggested by Mozilla because it has things (bugs and security) that are not fixed in it. (Edit Please use Official downloads if you must downgrade links in Install an older version of Firefox and the growing list of exploits you will open yourself up to is listed here: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html ~J99)
I am not suggesting or advertising to others to do the same. It is a risk I am willing to take and only say it is an option.
edit My reason to go back to FF 28 is because that version still has the intuitive feel and look Firefox one was praised for. With a logical lay out and a good way to simply customize it (also in about:config).
For those who say/think "Come one man, stop whining! Grow up and just accept that Firefox has to go with its time!", to them I say: nope ;)
