I want the old Firefox back!

Basically I don't like the update. At all. The orange firefox button is gone, the tabs are given a circular shape, and it looks crappy.

How do I change the appearance back?

Chosen solution

The interface you see in Firefox 29 is a major re-design (first one since Firefox 4) of Firefox's user interface called "Australis." We could argue about the UI similarity between 29 and Chrome but what good would that do? Main point is that Firefox is still way more customizable than Google and way more secure.

If you don't like the new Australis look, you can revert back to the view before Australis using the Classic Theme Restorer addon

That is definitely what I love about Firefox - the security and customization!

THANK YOU!
