I don't like the brand new firefox as of 11/17/2017 (US) The tabs are disgusting. I hate the square look and want back the old look of tabs that are more round.

I don't like the brand new firefox as of 11/17/2017 (US) The tabs are disgusting. I hate the square look and want back the old look of tabs that are more round. The new tabs that are just rectangles are ugly, I don't like the new buttons just below tabs... Home is too small, bookmarks is too small, bookmark folders are just blech. I don't even know if AdBlock Plus is working 100% right....

I want my rounded tabs back. I want my firefox to go back a version.

Yes your adblock+ is working. uBlock Origin is better though.

How about looking at these 2 URL's first : https://www.howtogeek.com/333110/how-to-customize-firefox-quantum-and-remove-the-white-space-around-the-title-bar/ and The name is not descriptive enough : https://www.howtogeek.com/332449/whats-new-in-firefox-quantum/

More information will come out slowly. New extensions are being made and some older ones being updated that are tracked here : http://bit.ly/2j0Anlj

Here's a more comprehensive project which affects not only tabs but brings back the old "grid-style" options menu. https://github.com/axydavid/FirefoxUI/blob/master/README.md

It isn't completely possible to use the Australis design with Firefox 57, but depending on what you want, you might be able to customize the UI to look more like the old one: This project: https://github.com/wilfredwee/photon-australis lets you have the old tab bar appearance back in Firefox 57. You can remove the space around the address bar by right-clicking on the spaces, and choosing "remove from toolbar".

Note the Black Theme is just a Example and can be found in Customize.

Going back : unfortunately 56.0.2 is no longer safe to use for every day use, but 52.5.0 ESR is! It will continue to get security updates until May 2018, and you can download and install it from this page: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ Note : Legacy Extensions will be deleted or removed in any version update after May 2018.

You should make a backup of your Profile before going back and just because: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/back-and-restore-information-firefox-profiles
