I dont at all like the firefox 29 design. I want to change back to older version but before that I want to know how to customize the toolbar icons which are too
I dont at all like the new firefox 29 design,I want to change to older version,its so irritating that FF doesnt let the user know before it updates the browser,that is unethical and one should be notified of newer version before it get s downloaded to my pc.
I also want to know how to customize the toolbar icons which are too small in size.how to increase it?
Earlier there was that nice Customize window that popped when I right-clicked on the toolbar and then inside there was the nice option of adding text to each toolbar icons plus option of increasing or decreasing the toolbar icon sizes . Now its so ugly and non user-friendly ,the icons are just cuddled at one end of the toolbar - let me post post this pic (ohh I cant even see any pic upload option here !! )
Plus there is no Stop,Reload ,Forward or Back toolbar buttons that can be dragged from the Customize window as necessary!! How can such a good browser become like these?? I wonder really...

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.
- Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.

Ok I add the picture here .The first posting had no option of uploading images! (?)
Anyway I have added the picture of my browser toolbar icons shortcuts and see those are all put in one side of the toolbar and so small that sometimes I wrongly click on the wrong shortcut icon. Also they are cuddled together like there is not space in toolbar whereas half of the remaining toolbar space is empty!
Thridly , I cant add the "Stop" ,"Back " ,'Forward' or 'reload' buttons ,they are now in the URL toolbar and that is not what i want . I want the older version which was so easy to use . I think most users will agree with these or I have to look for some newer browser.
I know some will suggest me adding some add-ons but why should I when earlier it was so in-built within the browser?

Pat replies that do not help. The classic Theme Restorer does not solve the problem with the Back Forward, Stop and Reload buttons not being able to be located where one wants. This is the CORE functionality of the browser and it is just broken. It is unbelievable that this could happen at this stage of development. Anger is the word that comes to my mind because I am spending all day trying in vain to fix my browser which was working just perfectly before the latest "upgrade" instead of getting any work done
Did you check the Options window of the CTR extension and placed a check-mark before the movable back-forward button item?
