I tried the update- it changed EVERYTHING, and made it tough to use. Can this be installed and let me KEEP MY CURRENT configurations?

I could not use the new browser. I re-installed the old one. I do not want the update if it changes my settings, the page layout, or functions.

HI, do what ever you want, it is possible it will be force updated. If the Mozilla Maintenance Service installed, uninstall it. Find updater.exe and rename it to old-updater.exe

You are aware of now missing the patch for this from 57.0.4: https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3023893/opera-mozilla-vivaldi-and-more-rush-to-patch-spectre-and-meltdown-security-holes Seek the patches from your motherboard maker or your chip maker.

Layout, you could have changed any way you wanted by dragging and dropping : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-firefox-controls-buttons-and-toolbars Every single thing could have been moved from the back and forward buttons, reload, stuff added.

Firefox can be Customized 245million or something ways using userChrome https://www.howtogeek.com/334716/how-to-customize-firefoxs-user-interface-with-userchrome.css/ so could have put it like this in 5mins : https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis
