Can you stop changing the motherf%&#ing interface all the f%&#ing time?
Firefox just updated. Again. Now you have once again managed to screw the interface up even more. The tabs are back to being pointy, after being curved. The were pointy a long time ago, then you made them curved. Now I had gotten used to the curved ones and of course you had to change them back to pointy. Then you decided to move the home page button and the stop (x) button to the left side of the URL field, and also change the looks of these buttons. This is really annoying. I welcome any security updates and possibly added features (if they really serve a purpose), but these constant changes in the design are nothing but annoying. As soon as I get used to something then you have to change it. It appears you work in the same manners as Microsoft, changing sh!t up just for the sake of changing it, not to necessarily make it better or more user friendly. If people want these buttons scattered on the bar, let them customize the program themselves. It's fully possible to do so, why do you instist on doing it? I reverted back to version 52.4.0 of Firefox because of this and I blocked all further updates.

You should allow updates for the Firefox 52 ESR as it only gets security and allowed stability fixes and will Not update to a version on Release channel. The current is actually 52.5.0 ESR.

Hi !
Unfortunately you can't please everybody - that's near to impossible. What one likes - the other dislikes. What one loves - the other hates. Just like some people might take offence at the language you're using in your header, while others couldn't care less ......
One thing is for sure : the developers did their best and worked hard, trying to please as many users as possible.
Fair enough. Some will like the new design, while others will hate it. So why not let people choose to keep the old looks then? Why force it on everyone? Typical Microsoft mentality, which unfortunately Mozilla are following. Soon all that's missing are forced updates that will require 3rd party scripts and other ridiculous workarounds to keep from getting shoved down my throat. And about the choice of language (which I censored by the way, to keep any sensitive person from being offended) -- I was (and am) upset. I've just about had it with Firefox. I'll keep using the old outdated version and use Chrome for more security compromised tasks.

Thanks for the links, I shall make sure my voice is heard, although I doubt it will do any good. I just needed to vent some steam after opening Firefox today to find that idiotic design update.

Thank you very much for this suggestion. I was not aware of this ESR edition of Firefox. I've installed it and like it much better.
