On reupgrading it moved the bookmark button back down to where it was before, but now the home button is where the back button was.

Either something got borked on your profile or you just need to customize your buttons back in place


Edit: oh i see, the back/forward buttons are now seemingly locked to the addressbar.

The back button is PART of the address bar, you can't move it. I'd have to move everything over to the right side now...

Is there an addon just to restore:
* Bookmark star in address bar
* Back and forward buttons always shown

I don't need the bookmarks menu button but now it's apparently required. And the star works better in the address bar for me.

If you right click -> customise it will show separate back and forward buttons. If you then move them away from the address bar they will revert to their old forms. The fancy combining thing only happens when they're all together in the correct order.

It'd be nice if they would stop spending 50% of their development time shuffling toolbar buttons around and rounding tabs. I can't count the number of pointless changes to the look and positioning of the back/forward buttons over the years.

I agree that one should learn keyboard shortcuts, though, even though it makes no sense to hear that from a UX designer. For reference, here are some useful shortcuts:

Back: Alt+Left arrow
Forward: Alt+Right arrow
Home: Alt+Home
Focus the search box: Ctrl+E or Ctrl+K
Focus the address bar: Alt+D
Refresh: Ctrl+R
Close tab: Ctrl+W
New tab: Ctrl+T
Duplicate tab: Ctrl+Alt+T
Stop page from loading: Esc
Cycle tab pages: Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown

Yeah, address bar is Ctrl-L (or F6), goes well with Ctrl-K. (Alt-Letter can and will open a menu option, e.g. Alt-D the "Datei" menu in the German locale)

Glad to see they still gently caress around with the UI instead of providing some decent support for business needs.
Support for Windows software deployment and group policies? How bourgeoisGoogle Chrome.

F6 technically cycles the focus among "major" bits of the UI. If you've already focused the address bar, F6 focuses the browser content. It can also be used to focus the bookmarks sidebar if it's open.

It's almost as if the UX engineering deciding/coding the UI would be different people with different skill sets than the people doing support for group policies!

A word of caution, I used FrontMotion's .msi to deploy Firefox 22 (or 23? Can't remember) more or less organization-wide. It worked like a charm except Firefox wouldn't receive updates, and if a user happened to re-download Firefox to get the latest version, it would break the installation. Maybe this has been fixed.

It was great for a short fix but in the long run had to be removed and vanilla Firefox installed instead.

No you only need one guy for UI/UX and programming. That's what Craigslist told me.

Maybe this is better than Backspace, because that doesn't work if a website like google automatically puts the cursor in a text field. I'll have to try this out.

I like Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab for that.

There's also Ctrl-Shift-T to reopen a tab you'd closed and Ctrl-Shift-N to re-open a window you'd closed.

Personally the new interface is pretty similar to how I set it up before, however they clearly weren't thinking about users with their interface set to classic.

:barf: Anyone know a way I can get my title-bar color off of my tabs and menu bar? Other than change my windows theme. Prefer to keep the general look if possible.

That's exactly what I want, so it's similar to Thunderbird. I hope someone can come up with a userchrome thing for it too.

They were supposed to be implementing "suggested websites" for when you launch a new tab in the Speed Dial rip-off menu and haven't built up a roster of 9 recently used sites yet. I dunno if they killed that off due to the inevitable backlash it will ensue, but in your case it shouldn't affect you.
