Yep, I don't like where firefox is going at all but fixing the interface isn't *too* hard (harder than it should be though.) It only takes a single addon, Status-4-Evar. Don't even have to add themes. Here's how my FF7 looks:

ryanbruce posted:Is that *actually* XP you're running in classic mode? No offense but I'm guessing that's why you're so attached to FF of yesteryear. It's Win7 actually. The start bar/menu has nothing to with the desktop theme either. The other guy is correct about losing compositing and Peek (oh no.)

Wouldn't necessarily call that good news per se. Seems to me like the best thing for Firefox would be if they lost all the bullshit funding to spend on management and side ventures and just went back to making a single good product.

Don't forget they'll also spend most of the money on releasing ports of FF for every single lovely Android device.

Disgustipated posted:If you don't need the myriad of features that TabMixPlus offers, you can use about :config to change this behavior. Set browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to False. That's a different problem I think. insertRelatedAfterCurrent means opening a link in a new tab appears next to the current tab. Setting it to false means it goes to the end. What I think the question is actually about it creating a brand new tab. In FF there is no option, hidden nor otherwise, to make it appear next to the current tab.

How hard would it be to make an extension that allowed middle click to open links in a new window behind the current?

LeftistMuslimObama posted:Considering that even most "power users" and IT people I know literally push the "Delay 4 hours" button on windows update for weeks at a time before finally restarting to install updates, I'd say that it's definitely too much effort for most users jeeves posted:The vast majority of users are lazy and ignorant. Most people are scared of any pop-up that occurs on their screen, thinking it is a VIRUS! So a monthly Firefox update most likely gets cancelled the same way people will say no to a Java update on every restart for years at a time. I think it's unfair to blame the users. Updates are annoying, badly implemented, and in a lot of cases break things and/or make the software worse. Arrogant designers make sweeping changes to the UI. Old things get get unexpectedly deprecated. (This is not just a firefox issue here.) If they want users to update, they should do it like Chrome, not that I condone that either.

Network42 posted:Is there an extension that will switch to a tab when firefox looses focus? I'd like to improve my appearance of productivity at work, and I can't find one like this under piles of tech support search results. This would be awesome. I'd use it. Nothing like waiting for a compile to finish and reading something maybe a little unprofessional. Task completes, you switch back to your IDE/whatever. Someone comes to ask you a question and you go to your browser to check some research or an old email: BAM! Plastered right over your screen.

xamphear posted:Why are HTTP Auth requests still presented to the user as pop up dialog boxes, that steal focus from other tabs, and lock you from doing anything else with Firefox until you type in the information and hit OK?

Well we definitely won't be rid of flash until Mozilla stops loving around with the UI and makes a H.264/AAC decoder.

Removing the Addon bar entirely seems dumb to me. Like someone at Mozilla just hates the fact that there's people out there using it as a status bar like it's 2005 again.

Avenging Dentist posted:The maintenance burden for features only a tiny minority of people use is too great. It makes more sense to offload some of that complexity onto add-ons, since then Mozilla isn't on the hook for ensuring that every possible combination of configurations results in a working version of Firefox*. They don't get to claim that when they turned a feature everyone was perfectly happy with (status bar) into something completely different that was turned off by default in a contentious update.

Seems like this dreadful progression of super-minimalistic UIs was designed for a growing audience of users with minuscule resolutions on their netbook screens which don't really exist anymore. So let's have our status bar and menus back.

It's really all just guesswork anyway, I would argue that the reason Firefox is losing ground to Chrome is because they have been focusing their development efforts on the wrong things (Android, endless UI redesigns, minimising RAM usage, codec support for formats that nobody uses) rather than other things that more people might actually want (H.264, UI responsiveness, speed.)

Palemoon has a reasonable UI so in theory it'd be worth using for that alone. In an ideal world there would be a continuously up to date fork of Firefox but until that day comes we're stuck with it.

There's a dev blog article (not the main blog article of course) that says that Classic Theme Restorer will be one of the addons that will be impossible in the new world order. So really there's no reason at all to use Firefox anymore. I hope this is the straw that breaks the camel's back and leads to a fork, but that didn't happen in 4.0 so who knows.
