Continual removal of options that were already in the browser for no reason other than contempt for the end user

Yeah, if you guys could stop removing customization options with every update that'd be swell. It's like every time Firefox updates it does something new I hate, and I look for how to change it back and invariably I find that "Oh we DID have the option to put tabs below the address bar but we took that out for literally no other reason than to piss you off" or "We DID have the option to have the address bar not change sizes when you click on it but the end user actually having a say in that was too nice and convenient so we spent time and effort actually removing functionality that was already there and we could have simply left in".

Seriously, just STOP ACTIVELY MAKING THE BROWSER WORSE WITH EACH UPDATE.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Tabs being at the top of the browser window started with Firefox 4.0 back in March 2011, but there was a user preference to have the Tabs in the former location, below the Bookmarks Toolbar. Come Firefox 29 Australis on April 29, 2014 that user preference was removed. And then users needed to use an extension such as the Classic Theme Restorer, until Firefox 57 Quantum came out. After that CTR type extensions wouldn't work with the new to Quantum WebExtensions format, as many obstacles disallowed many extensions of that type to be rewritten to WE format; although some did make it back into Firefox when new API's were created for WE format.

Overall, your first complaint is related to changed that were made in Firefox many years ago and "fall on deaf ears" today. Too many users with Australis "forgot" that they had modified Firefox from the new default state twice already or didn't realize that if they started using Firefox after (say) Firefox 4.0 in 2011.

As far as the address bar changes that were made over the last few recent versions, welcome to the developers prerogative for changes in their product. There is a way to revert those changes, but your previous complaints in this vein - you'll just argue with whatever help that I may provide. So I ain't going to waste my time trying to help you any further.

Mozilla owns Firefox and does as it pleases, and you take it personally and too seriously.
