The new ui update has the specific goal of reducing configurability, so new users dont get "confused".

Such changes include the inability to edit any of the UI except a row of buttons on the top left, shockingly just like chrome!. I'm sure these changes will help focus their design vision, or something.

So in short, no, you wont be able to configure your client to look exactly like it did before.

It seems that too many times I have to install a plugin to revert some design decision I don't like. This sounds like one of those times.

The day the customizability of FF is removed will be a sad day for me. Hopefully someone will create a fork.
