Is it that hard to release a Firefox update without changing ANY UI, functionality, rendering, and so on. As soon as I update Firefox, my tasks suddenly go from doing important stuff, to fixing Firefox so it behaves/looks as it did before the update. You got something new? Include it in the patch, but shut it off! You want people to notice? Send out a pop up window "hey here is what's new, here is how to turn it on if you like those new features !" Respect people's time!

Please pass this along to whoever is in charge of this.

Can you please elaborate on what exactly changed in the Firefox UI that you are trying to change back? There have been few UI changes in recent updates (and By the way, you are using an old version of Firefox that is insecure, you should be running Firefox 47) and we might be able to help you quickly if there is something specific you'd like to change.
