How do I revert my "effing" browser window to the way I liked it?

I just updated to version 29.0.1 and you've messed up my browser window layout. The whole reason I chose to use Firefox was it let me design my browser THE WAY I LIKE IT not having the preset design shoved down my throat. This needs to have an instant revert button. I HATE the new layout and I'd rather NOT have to figure out in a step-by-step way how to re-tweak it all over again into some resemblance of the way i had it. If I'm going to get a new design, I might as well migrate on over to Safari or Chrome and get used to one of them instead. This was NOT a very Firefox-type move to treat us like this. This is the type of shyte I expected from the m-Soft goons.

This is the reason I'm on this forum right now.

I would like an opt-out button from the new gui, it is not an improvement.

Like you said FF has always stood for customizability and this update is a big step away from that.

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
