I hate, yes hate the latest Firefox upgrade! In its infinite wisdom Mozilla has taken a perfectly fine browser and fucked it up! I can't find things. I can't get to screens I was used to. I can't figure out how to bookmark a page! And the icons are so small in my list of top sites that the list is now useless! (And I suspect these changes were made to make the browser better for cell phones, and we tablet users are now shit out of luck!

You people and your stupid fucking updates that are supposed to make my 'user experience' better. Well, you've failed miserably!

So, how can I uninstall this update and reinstall the version that was working for me? Or, is there some sort of 'classic mode' option to allow the browser to look and feel and function as it used to? Or will I - as I suspect - now have to look for another browser to use?

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.
