Is Mozilla just going to abolish all customization and remove all features? I don't get it.

I used to like Firefox because it let me set my browser up in an intuitive and comfortable way, and it was able to easily do the things I wanted to do. Then simple and useful features (e.g., tabs under the address bar) were hidden in about:config. Then they were removed completely, and you had to use third-party extensions to restore them (e.g., getting the refresh button on the address bar). Then, the third-party extensions were blocked so that you had to copy and paste third-party code into userChrome.css (e.g., restoring "View Image").

I hate updating Firefox, because it gets worse every time. This browser has turned to absolute garbage, and it just keeps circling the drain. Wasn't Firefox supposed to be the customizable browser? Mozilla seems to have decided that customization needs to be completely wiped out, and features need to be removed for...some reason?

Why is this happening? I shouldn't have to be afraid of the update button, but it's become a "make Firefox even worse" button. My only consolation now is that Mozilla won't have any more major updates for my operating system, so I might be okay for a few months.

Why is there zero zilcho nada discussion about this?!? Thank you, Mozilla Firefox, for your consideration.

A few days ago, Firefox updated itself. Suddenly, every link opens a new tab that says "Anti-phishing Protection is scanning your link..." and the original tab opens a window that says "Anti-phishing Protection - You are attempting to open an insecure link. Are you sure you want to proceed?"

I cannot find anywhere to turn this off or fix this ridiculous situation?
