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:
