How do we change the code of incoming emails?

Prior to downloading the latest version of Firefox, we were able to access the code-changing service via the orange button in the top left corner of the screen. The latest version has done away with that orange button and its associated drop-down menu, wherein we used to be able to change the transmission code of incoming emails to Unicode. How can we change the codes now? It is very disappointing that you make stupid changes without any notification. What was wrong with the old orange button, that it HAD to be changed? It appears that some ignorant newbie, who is unaware of what is really going on decides to make a name for himself, making cosmetic changes – simply for the sake of making changes!!! Whenever changes are made, they firstly should be absolutely necessary; and secondly your users should be notified of the implications of any changes. The current disregard of customers is just not good enough!!! Since the loss of the orange button, we have been forced to perform the tedious, time-consuming task of editing each email which is to be stored, removing all the ASCI-type codes from the text. Previously, Firefox altered the transmission code on request – MUCH simpler & MUCH quicker & MUCH more convenient!!! How are we supposed to get Firefox to do the change?? Pray tell.

Hi, I am sorry that you do not like the changes in Firefox 29. I would be happy to help you with the problem that you have.

Mozilla did not completely remove the menu function that you are talking about. If you look at the top left side of the browser you will see an icon with three horizontal lines. This has the same function as the Firefox button that you talked about. It is customizable and takes up less space when configured this way. That was the rational behind the change. From this point you click on options. After that it is all the same. I hope this helps. If you are really unhappy with the changes to Firefox 29 I wold recommend that you let Mozilla know. Everyone here is a volunteer that is passionate about helping users. Here is the link Mozilla feedback
