How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29?
How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29? How to change windows installation and ubuntu installation so they never update after FF 28 witch was last normal speed normal browser?
Hello. I can easy remove on Windows FF 29 or FF 30 and its slower on fast computer. But its affected by millions of users. With FF 28 it was allways fast. Why fast? I dont know but its SLOW Now any version after FF 28. Since FF 29 FF loads and hangs very very slow each time loading, starting, or changing tabs. It is making problem for everyone and now everyone calls with help- "why computer is slow.. oh its FF? Chrome? Chrome was slow but now its not the slowest one?"
Very colorfull Example- one comp is 10" and its very very very very low specs. So it wont run at all. Now on small comp we can try linux and FF BUT no matter what OS just couldnt get back with any plugins back normal speed. Since FF 29 its very very very slow and that needs to have a solution. Today came update and still unneded custom menu button and its slowness hasnt been removed (unnoticed) so it needs a fix so it works for people who are not just for browsing internet buying new computer and cant get any faster speed then Chrome since now theres no FF anymore.
SO- How to do that on Windows and Linux- installing FF 28 and making it never upgrade OR even better- Making a package that already has this update disbled setting ON?
p.s. Should you first ask people how they like slow browsers before making fast one to a slow one?
p.p.s. i dont get how menu could be added by thouse who need it as an add-on ass allways and not presuring everyone who never touches any button.
p.p.p.s. your business was beeing neutral ngo making browser for people and not for making cloged systems so new computers could be sold by some company advice or infiltrated mole who will suggest such unneded feature as any other addons, but sticking it in for everyone.

Hi kangarooo, Thank you for your concerns, to answer your question there is currently an addon called The Classic Theme Restorer to change the look to 28. However this is not a guaranteed long term solution. However, since the code is open it is possible to customize the interface. To get started check out MDN's Modifying A XUL Interface
Your question about slowness, Quick fixes if your Firefox slows down
Only way to make it faster is to get back to last fast version 28. I wrote that addons doesnt make it fast enought as previous. And each slow thing counts for slow computers.
SINCE only solution is fast browser and it is FF version 28......
SO-------- how to make installation of 28 to be 28 & never to upgrade automatically for Windows and MacOsX and Linux?
Hello,
You can download version 28 from here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/
Also, you'll have to disable auto updates to remain with version 28 by following the steps described in this support article:
