I heard inklings of some new browser that Mozilla was working on but didn't pay much attention. I figured it would be a separate release much like IE and Edge.

I was wrong. So wrong.

I restart my browser and suddenly my 20-30 tabs saved with my session manager plugin are gone. GONE. Extensions disabled without my knowledge (it wouldn't be a Firefox update if it didn't break at least one or twenty extensions). Tabs are at the top with no option to change it (what kind of bone head decision was that?). the URL bar isn't left aligned. Icons are this idiotic monochrome flat look. All done without my consent. WHY?!!!

If you want to push people to use Chrome, this is a great way to do it. I'm totally pissed off right now. I don't even know if I can recover my sessions if I remove this and find a previous version of FF from an archive somewhere. @#$@!%!$(@%
