How do I get the previous update back?

This new update absolutely sucks. No single click to get the bookmarks sidebar. No reload button for the toolbar. Can't add blank spaces in the toolbar. A huge step backwards.

Bridger,

In Classic theme restorer options enable the checkbox "hide urlbar reload button". This will remove the tiny and annoying reload button from the address bar and you can add a proper size reload button to the left the same way you move around buttons using firefox customize function.

Hi,

I'll add my response in after yours.

  No single click to get the bookmarks sidebar

You can use the Ctrl + B keyboard shortcut to show the Bookmarks Sidebar

  No reload button for the toolbar

The reload button is now embedded to the right side of the Address Bar. I think you can move this using the Classic Theme Restorer extension.

  Can't add blank spaces in the toolbar.

I thought this was possible in 29 but I guess I didn't look right...

Main Question:

  How do I get the previous update back?

You can use the Install an older version of Firefox link to get back to 28.

OK, thanks, with the Classic theme add on, I have restored my blank spaces and the single click sidebar, but the reload button can't be moved out of the address bar--it's one of the main things I want to move.

These two buttons should be reversed: The "add to favorites" star should be IN the address bar, and the "reload" button should be movable outside the address bar.

Thanks for the help, all. I've now got everything back to normal
