Is there anyway to make Firefox 29 go back to the old layout?

I chose to use Firefox because I loved the layout of the UI and it didn't look like Chrome. In this new update I may as well just switch because they look almost identical. This is really concerning to me, as I love Firefox and this new UI looks terrible to me.

Can't we just have updates that improve the code and QoL issues without being forced into using a browser that is a 1:1 clone of Chrome?

Isisombulu esikhethiweyo

I switched to Pale Moon browser today. Because Firefox has been open source there are clones of it available. Pale Moon is literally everything Firefox was(down to each individual option) before Mozilla decided to break their own product and replace it with Google Chrome 29.

Looks the same, works the same, won't be updating and breaking itself all the time. Cheers all.

Try this add-on:

I mean, I have the add-on, and it does what it is supposed to do.

But my problem here is that I shouldn't have to have the need for an add-on that makes Firefox look like Firefox.

I just wish they would have listened to the feedback they were getting instead of throwing out something nobody wanted.

Hi there, if you tried the add-on and don't like it, you can always revert to Firefox 28 by using the Install an older version of Firefox link but my own personal user opinion (not as a Moderator) I would suggest you switch to another browser rather than stay at a Firefox version that will be old and insecure in a few months.
