Hello Folks, I had to clean install Firefox because of corruption, after the install I have been tweaking, when I attempt to add free space in the customize section it will not allow me to add free or flexible space, then when you go out of customize and return the space options aren't there anymore. I also attempted to use the FT Deep Dark theme but noticed the Min, Max & Close buttons had disappeared. When I open a new tab I keep getting a banner at the bottom asking if I'm new to Firefox can this be turned off???

Just wondering is this a bug or compatibility problem??? Thanks for any response it's very much appreciated cheers.

Paperfree.

Many of us are using; https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer (Customize Australis)

Restore squared tabs, appmenu, add-ons bar, small button view and more on Australis UI (Windows/MacOSX/Linux + Fx 29+).

This will restore many of the things the upgrades took away.

Hi FredMcD,

I'm using Classic Theme Restorer and have for many years now but it's making no difference. I've just restarted Firefox with all add-ons disabled and that makes no difference either. The problem I had in my previous question has returned Firefox running slow just not behaving as it should.

Thanks for your response I appreciate it cheers.
