Why did Mozilla remove the icon and text option in Firefox? They have made using the browser harder for disabled (brain injury) users. I am really upset.
The way my mind works after my brain injury I find it very frustrating to use Firefox now that Mozilla has removed the icon AND text option. Why did they do that? Contrary to what they claim, they have NOT made it more accessible to disabled users. Please bring the icon and text option back.

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore the feature to have icons and text for the toolbar buttons. You can find this setting in the Options/Preferences of the CTR extension on page 1 of the Toolbars settings window.

Thank you for your suggestion, but that won't work for me.
I use the Aeon Jumbo appearance add-on to see Firefox toolbar better and, if I use the Classic Theme Restorer, it puts the icons back to tiny little things which defeats the purpose.
At the bottom of that CTR page you see Navigation toolbar attribute 'iconsize'.
Is it sufficient to set the icon size to large?
Hmm. Using that setting doesn't seem to have much effect. Setting the iconsize to large via the top menu works, but then you do not get the text.
Try to ask in the CTR support forum thread at the mozillaZine forum site to see whether the CTR developer (Aris) has any suggestions.
Thank you for trying to help me. I do appreciate it. However, I've given up. Firefox on the Mac has just become a dog's breakfast. It's so unMac-like now as to become unusable to me. What was once a great program (eg version 28) is just so much garbage now. The development team really needs to give its collective head a shake.
