Ok. I'm visually impaired. until version 90, I think, Firefox was great. Then it got so bad that I tried other browsers, but finding anything with support for the visually impaired is impossible now - we just don't count, that's obvious.

The newest version, what is it? 84357348957? Is impossible. I don't know why the lines between tabs were removed. I assume the developers thought it looked cool, without thinking that SOME OF US DON'T SEE WELL. I can barely use it now. I need to get back to an earlier, at least slightly usable version without losing everything - and I need some way to not be bothered with a popup for update 954785 this week.

Yes, I sound angry. I know that's not cool with tech. But you know? There is no need for 10-20 updates a month. And there's no bloody excuse for the complete disregard for the visually impaired that is now Mozilla's trademark.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you looked at Accessibility features in Firefox.

Thank you - but this isn't relevant. I need to restore the look and feel of Firefox before the last update screwed it up - and hopefully, before the disaster of Proton UI. One used to be able to do this in about:config. No more. There used to be add ons, but apparently, no more. Is it possible to restore the browser to when it actually worked, or has that functionality been removed for visually disable users?
