FF28 was OK, I want it back please. I don't like FF29 control system.

The suggested addons do not allow me to restore the controls completely to how I had them, so I want FF28 back:

File-Edit-View..etc on top, (plus Seach Engines (eg Wikipedia) mini-search bar on that line too;
OLD STYLE Menu Bar with all the main control buttons together and the main URL/locator bar at the end, and
tabs BELOW.
Integrated DL/DL-Progress 'bar' at bottom of window.
- AND BEING ABLE TO RESTORE/"CUSTOMISE" TO RETAIN THAT SETUP
  - - - THAT'S the way I like it, uh huh, uh huh..******

Actually, an ever better interface idea - but to keep things tidy, I'll suggest that separately.

I've been with you people since Netscape 3.0, (which I originally installed from the cd in the (then) AUD80- Netscape Navigator Book (I think it was called)), and I LIKED the controls the way they were (=my 'customisations') although there are some nice addons amongst the newer stuff too, eg the Google Shortcuts button, and Flagfox. Cheers!

You can still have the Menu bar visible

Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.

You can use one of these to set which toolbars to show.

Firefox 3-bar menu button > Options/Preferences
View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the hidden Menu bar)
Right-click empty toolbar area

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.
