Had I known that You were going to change my User Interface (skin) I would not have updated! Now that the URL toolbar (something I rarely use) is attached to the tabs I have lost a quarter inch of my view. I Keep that toolbar off by default. I wish that you had warned me that your toolbars were going to crowd out my tab viewing area. Seems like such a small problem, but not to me. I wish you offered to let me and all of us the option to keep the same interface and just download the security fixes. As it stands Firefox 22 was fine and I knew where everything was. When I turned off the menu toolbar in 22 I got a full half inch of viewing area. Now its less than an eighth. So please tell me how to get 22 back and keep my collected information intact. In the future please offer the skins separately from the security updates so people like me who like the interface they have can keep them. Thanks David

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

That includes the option to hide the Navigation Toolbar.

  • You can check out the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
  • You can find extra toolbar buttons and more toolbar settings in Customize (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

I thought I sent in a reply to say thank you and that if I had more questions I would start a new thread. Not sure what happened, but thanks. I have already down loaded "classicthemerestorer" and it's set to run as soon as I restart Firefox. Once again Thank You David
