new tabs are unreadable - font too light, too small.
I just updated firefox today 5/10/14 and the new tab look is unusable for me- font inside the tabs is too small and too light. I found and tried to use the "theme and font size changer" add-on but it forces me to increase the size of the font on my sidebar bookmarks too, their size was fine for how I use them. Up until today I was fine using firefox without glasses. This really needs more testing this on people aged 45+!! How do I get the old version back? I have a Macbook Air with all updated iOS.
If I can't fix the tabs without changing the sidebar bookmarks I will have to give up on Firefox - after 7 years! I'm so frustrated...is there a way to revert back to the version I had earlier today?

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting.
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?
Or if you want to go back to a previous version, completely feel free to use the old versions. Remember that this puts your machine and personal data at an increased risk.

Note: Please remember to be wary of what sites you download from as they may advertise Firefox 22 for example and package it as a Beta, RC, or other pre-release version and may have malware/adware or other unwanted items.

Thank you for your reply Moses - The Theme add-on has helped.
