In 3.6, I have three extensions installed to revert to old behaviour. In Nightly, I have fifteen, plus a ton of CSS in Stylish that I've written just to get the UI to match with the "Windows Classic" style I use in Windows.
That sounds unpleasant!
But you'll admit that you're an edge case, right? Even most of the trolls here on
So now the question is: How much energy should Mozilla devote towards specifically your needs? Your needs are no less valid than anyone else's, but the converse is true too: Everyone else's needs are no less valid than yours. So when faced with the choice between making Firefox more usable for 399 million people, or adding and maintaining fifteen UI options so you can make Firefox work the way you and your million closest friends want, what do you think we should do?
There is a real cost even to adding and maintaining a "disable X" button to the UI, and if we did that every time we changed something, as you seem to be asking, we'd quickly end up doing nothing but fix bugs in the exponentially-growing set of ways one can configure Firefox's UI.
Or maybe you think we simply shouldn't change anything, ever? That might satisfy you, but again, we agree that you're an edge case, right? Do you honestly think that would satisfy everyone?
