Works good for me.

I used the restore classic add-on as I despised the tabs on top layout. Lost my Weatherfox app which really irks me, hopefully an updated version will be out soon.

My Firefox updated Friday last week to Ver. 29.0.1
It still works fine for me. Pages show a rounded tab on top left. But I still have my File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help above the tab. I thought something looked different but couldn't put my finger on what it was till this thread.

My Firefox just did an automatic upgrade. It has a new appearance.

If you download this, you can make it look more like it used to, but not entirely.

Thank you Bruce! My drop down menu is back.

I stopped using firefox when it stopped being compatible with adobe/Java. I figure that adobe and java were engaged in turf wars pushed by google and chrome. I used to be a netscape user, but that crashed to ieexplorer.
All tiresome.

Can you explain? I am running Firefox with the Adobe Acrobat, Flash and Java plugins installed and they work fine.

At work we use a mandated grading program based on java. Firefox will not allow it to operate the way it wants to re cookies and so firefox cannot run the grade book. The same program runs fine on chrome. Certain video games will not run in firefox.
Java plugin does not work in Firefox Java plug-in does not work in Firefox after installing Java
I haven't found a firefox update yet that works. I tried again today with a new download.

The issues related in those stories are all ones where you have an option to enable Java (ie: a certain Java plugin will always be on "Click to enable" because FF developers are having a tiff with Oracle and their "lack of response to security issues") vs not letting it run at all.
You might try adding the site to the "Exception Site List" in the Java Control Panel (How to configure the Exception Site List). I was banging my head against the wall with a similar issue and was saying bad things about Firefox when it was actually a new "feature" in Java 7u51 where it refuses to run an unsigned applet (Specifically, the Tire Size Calculator at: Tire size calculator).
Chrome and IE bundle their own versions on Java on newer releases so they don't have this issue.
