Why is the new version of Firefox so ugly and not as user friendly as the previous versions?
I've been using Firefox for years now and always loved it because of the simplicity of use and the add-ons that made my life easier. Now the major add-on that I use is no longer compatible, the new setup is visually disorienting, and apparently users have to make all kinds of adjustments to be even decently happy with their browser. Why on earth would you ever consider releasing an update that requires the users to do half the work to be satisfied with the program, or to update their OS to a system with which they're not comfortable? I switched back to 3.6 immediately, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Plan A: Simply "Enable" the menu bar again. Click on the Ugly orange button, Choose Options and then choose "Menu Bar".
Plan B: Install this theme https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
I'm sure changing the theme was a point of major debate to the developers. In the end, I think they only alienated their existing userbase. If we want something that looks like Google Chrome, we'll use Google Chrome.
Google Chrome is difficult to use to the average user. Now Firefox is too. Too tech inclined. Completely out of touch with the vast majority of web users.
As a long time FF user I fully share the sentiment. As users, what could we do to influence Mozilla to make Firefox 8 interface to be better (that is, like 3.6 version)? And its future interface would stay simple and elegant, currently as polybrite said "visually disorienting" and just plainly UGLY, to a degree, it's quite upsetting.

^ It's clear that you didn't read the posting above yours.
What's truly sad about some Firefox users is that instead of asking a simple question like "how do I make Firefox 4 and later look like Firefox 3.6" and make good use of this support forum, they would rather make stupid comments rather than get a solution to their perceived problem.

One wonders if some users deserve a fine browser such as Firefox .....
"how do I make Firefox 4 and later look like Firefox 3.6" you think that's called "progress"? You are truly intelligent!
And what does the recent browser market share stats inform you?
