Tired of needing to dip into about config, do stupid things like r click to view image needing a special add on, wasted space with annoyingly large columns and space between, rounded, hamburger, css files to get bookmarks back to the nice way it used to be where I could view as many bookmarked sites that would fit into those tiny small lines, all of it. Going to run a regedit hack or some sort of block to stop firefox from updating and just freeze it at 75.0 because that was good enough and it’s awesome. They changed the entire program for mobile devices, to the detriment of efficient PC users.

As many others have suggested, Firefox should allow a traditional firefox experience and label that as a PC Traditional install or something. I’m really tired of dealing with firefoxes never ending graphics changes and I do not agree that the entire appeal and visual functionality needs to be changed for everyone.
So I looked at ESR and apparently I can’t get the last version and even ESR is new proton. It was not reliant on hamburger menu only, etc, etc. This was so much better in terms of visual feel, space saving, thin clean lines, easy functionality, and comprehensive yet still detailed options pages (with icons!). I had the need to flash back to a mirror backup from early 2020 and I’m looking at Firefox 75.0. Oh lord, proton is awful and wastes so much page space on a traditional PC. Now You: Do you use the ESR version of Firefox? Organizations who rely on these features lose another option, and need to look elsewhere, e.g. Flash support is gone for good and the interface redesign has removed some options, but there are also new features, such as improved privacy protections. The new Firefox 91 base for ESR releases introduces significant changes to various features of the browser. Firefox ESR versions are not upgraded automatically to a new base version, this begins with the second release after the release of the new base version.
You could download and run the portable version of Firefox ESR from Portable Apps for testing it does not interfere with the active installation, as it is portable, and you could import the Firefox profile from the installed version to the portable version to test it.

Firefox ESR users may want to test the new version before they upgrade existing installations and profiles.
