Mozilla is reminding Firefox users that a necessary root certificate expires soon and that older browser versions could become a security and usability nightmare in a few months. Starting March 14, 2025, Firefox versions older than 128 (ESR 115.13) containing the expired certificate will likely cause “significant” issues with add-ons, content signing, and streaming of DRM-protected media.
Users advise Mozilla to stop making unwanted changes to the Firefox UI while simultaneously reducing user options if they want people to update.
Most can be disabled. Mine looks pretty much the same as it did 5 years ago. Try installing the developer edition or nightly to test if you can edit it to your liking
people dont want to be hunting online how to disable shit they dont want on every update. they mostly want to get on with their lives.
Is there an easy & non intrusive way to reverse the floating tabs?
Was version 128 the one that includes adware going forward, or was that 129?
You can use a custom config or soft fork.

Mozilla has been controversial as of late but they aren’t Microsoft. They want people to move to a stable release so they can stop having to maintain old code. Also modern Firefox has a lot of improvements and you need to use an actively supported browser to get security fixes.
Also you can toggle resist fingerprinting with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-resist-fingerprinting/
What about just installing the new certificate?
