Firefox 29 - soooooo similar to Chrome
anandcoral:
Firefox upgraded to 29 and it looks so similar to Chrome now that I have to take a closer look at the extension icons on top-right to assure I am in FF and not in Chrome.
At least it should have the 'fox' icon some where to differentiate it.

Anand

Wow Anand is right. I tend to stay a version or two back. This new one is such a mess I might try to downgrade maybe Version 28 or something.
At least PaleMoon is sensible ... but I haven't updated that one yet!
:o
eleman:
Fortunately, there is this add-on.
If I wanted a browser that looked like chrome, I would either use chrome, or one of the clones such as yandex (which probably does the reporting to KGB, instead of CIA). Would I use firefox? doubt it.
Anyway, the ESR (Extended support release) channel is still based on 24, so I'll be fine for half a year or so.
skwire:
As eleman mentioned, there is the Classic Theme Restorer add-on. Martin, over at gHacks, recently did an article on it.

Shades of the tablet mindset and overall hubris that drove Win8/Metro! (And mostly into the ground AFAIC. :down:)
Did Mozilla hire Sinofsky or something?
