You should send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback since putting the feedback here is useless. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting.
There was a previous way by going through the Options menu but after disabling it through there, when you would go to Help > About Firefox, it would update regardless of that setting.
You can set these prefs in about:config
to disable automatic updating:
app.update.auto - false
app.update.enabled - false
app.update.silent - false
If you really wish to downgrade, you can do that through the Install an older version of Firefox link.
However, I recommend you try to use these add-ons to help customize 29.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
- Use the Classic Theme Restorer to bring back the old design. Learn more here: How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox
- Use the Add-on Bar Restored to bring back the add-on bar. Learn more here: What happened to the Add-on Bar?
