I'm not denying any of your other issues with the browser, but > With the latest update, for some reason my address bar is gigantic For some reason? What would you expect if you have UI-altering addons installed (Classic theme restorer and oldbar), which might or might not work correctly under the most recent version of the broswer? Someone in the comments worries that recent firefox versions are not entirely compatible with pentadactyl. But they are forced into enabling the awesomebar (which, admittedly, is useless when using 5dactyl) only because 5dactyl doesn't restore addon icons on browser restart, which is a bug in the addon, not firefox (sorry if I misunderstood the issue, but that's the way it looked to me). If you are using some UI altering addon (which I understand the need to and also do), you should be aware this kind of behavior can happen, and that it is not entirely the browser's fault.

The problem isn't caused by a UI-altering extension, but a simple theme: > 2. Location bar is too big. (Only in Firefox 31 and newer.) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-2-theme-for-firefox-3x/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-2-the... Looking at the version history of the theme, it looks like the author has been heroically trying to shield users from changes. I'd be pretty annoyed if I had written some addon in the distant past and were forced to make fixes because the Firefox devs broke something that should have been stable 20 versions ago. Firefox's main selling point (in my opinion) is its vast library of high-quality addons and themes. They should be doing everything possible to preserve backward-compatibility, not breaking large swaths of their library.
