How can I get the Firefox 28 UI without an extension?
Anticipating the Australis update, I set my browser to NOT automatically update, but it did anyway. (which I am quite peved about) When firefox updated to 29, I tried out the surprising new interface, and was quite upset that I couldn't put my navigation buttons in the tab bar. When I installed the addon to revert to the old interface, it allowed me (with great effort) to fix many of the problems, but I still could not put my buttons where I had them in firefox 28. Is it possible to easily revert all of my synced computers to 28 without them updating each other? I've switched back to chrome for the time being, and I hope that this blows over soon so that I have cause to return to firefox.

There was a previous way by going through the Options menu to disable updates 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

Thank you Moses, after uninstalling and re-installing without the silent updater, all of these came up false as you recommend. I hope the ever-generous contributors at Mozilla will realize their folly with the new interface and offer another update with the old GUI built in. One can only go so long without security updates, and if people have to stomach that addon to get a palatable UI, many of us are just going to switch to Opera or Chrome.
Your help is appreciated, I realize you're getting a lot of this. I wasn't going to not post, because like so many other users, I want the point to be heard loud and clear that an addon is not an acceptable solution to get a full PC interface.
