Updating firefox isn't worth the constant ui revamps.

Few things have changed since the landing of Australis, so no idea what you complain about.

Few things have changed since the landing of Australis, so no idea what you complain about.

First, the change to the keyworkd.url behavior was terrible; I remedied by the extension keyword search. Australis is nearly bad enough to made me switch browsers. The revamp of the search was the final straw. It was completely broken for one of the versions of firefox too, both on my desktop and my friend's computer. I've since switched to pale moon (old UI on LTS firefox) and chrome. Not planning on returning to stock firefox anytime soon.

Will this fix update flash? since only html5 videos play after 36.0.1 update

Not present in the article: HTML5 playback of youtube videos now support more resolutions (before only 360p and 720p)

When they changed the search bar to include all sorts of search engines it pissed me off. Its fine to have to manually set one desktop to google only (and turn off bing, yahoo, and the other garbage) but when you have to do an entire household at random it becomes annoying.

Almost switched to Chrome but remembered how rubbish Chrome is too.

Comments like yours aren't worth reading. There are not 'constant revamps', there are constant minor tweaks since version 20.

You should switch to Palemoon if that's the case.
