Cannot move search box
The newest update of firefox adds a search box to the bookmarks tool bar, which cannot be removed. I don't need nor want this search box, especially in my bookmarks tool bar. It blocks some of my bookmarks. Also, the removal of the status bar causes the buttons from my add ons to be in the bookmarks tool bar, further blocking my bookmarks.
And of course there is an address bar that takes up two thirds of the top of the page on the menu bar. Previously I consolidated all of my search bar and add on buttons in that space, but I can no longer do so. (and yes, I know that search box and the address bar do the same thing)
Why does firefox need to keep screwing with the interface, and copy internet explorer's crappy interface? It was fine before and even if you feel you need to dictate how people's interface will be, why remove the option for people to customize it?
If firefox is going to dictate how my interface is set up, I will just switch to Chrome.
I had to use internet explorer to access this forum, since firefox wouldn't acknowledge my clicks.

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
- Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
- You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.
- You can find extra toolbar buttons and toolbars in the Customize palette (3-bar Firefox menu button > Customize)

That's not as a result of a Firefox update; the Search Bar on Firefox 29.0.1 is in the same place it has always been - to the right of the Address Bar, on the Navigation Bar.
Sounds like an add-on did that.
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button
, click Help 
and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
- In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on Help (or click on Help in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.
To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
