How can I restore the previous download toolkit UI in FF26?

Updated to FF26 earlier today. I just now noticed that the download manager is different, rather, it is the new version that has been available for a while. I have been using the older toolkit that was available in earlier versions through about:config and enabling the toolkit option. That option is still checked as true but the toolkit remains the same (the newer version).
How can I revert to the older download toolkit without restoring to an earlier version?

Why is any of the crap in the new download window needed? It's fluff; useless junk made to look pretty for the everyday idjit.
Seriously... why would I need to see bookmarks in the download window? I will never open the download window to use bookmarks. I can go straight to the bookmark tab in the browser. Same with all the other 'new and improved' crap that has been forced upon us with this busted new download window; superfluous junk.
Why on Earth would I need or want to open this new 'Library' window to check any of that shit? It's all right there more easily accessible in the main browser. I personally don't use history or tags to begin with, but I guess some people might. Why would they take an extra step to do it though?
Something else I don't do... keep the download window open to watch the downloads! Is there really some expectation that people are going to use these things simultaneously (download monitoring + redundant 'additions')? I can't understand the thought process here.
There's just no benefit whatsoever to this Library garbage. No one is really going to be checking out their downloads while they browse or organize bookmarks to the point that this change is even remotely useful. That's about the only thing I can think of that this ridiculousness could **possibly** bring to the table; being able to 'actively' monitor downloads while doing one of the other few things you can now do with that window open.
Get real, though. No one is using that window for anything but accessing the stuff they downloaded once it's done or to check the progress.
You want to do something useful? Scrap this stupid Library concept and get back to the old download window. Or keep it as a totally separate function (would almost be awesome to see the data on how often it's used and what people think of it when they have options) and make a download window like the old one that works with the current setup.

  • How can I restore the previously bought apps after I have formatted my computer without backing up any of my files for iTunes?

    As titled.
    I bought many apps from iTunes at the end of last year, and then my computer had got problem that I had to format and reinstall everything.
    I just want to know how can I restore the previously bought apps once if I forgot to backup any of my files on the computer??
    Would be really grateful if someone can show me how to. Thanks!!
    FYI: At that time I was using iPad 1 and the OS was still 3.1.x. Now I am using iPhone 4 and would like to restore the apps at least those that are compatible to my phone.

  • Is iTunes 11.1.5 compatible with Mac OSX 10.6.8? If not how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    Problem: Recently when I open iTunes it doesn't work; the little pinwheel just keeps spinning.
    I have tried leaving it on, as suggested by another user, for over 12 hours. I didn't work.
    I think the new iTunes version, 11.1.5, is not compatible with the operating system; Mac OSX 10.6.8. If this is so, how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    You need to be updated to iTunes 11.2.2.
    You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files.
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    After running the combo updater, select Software Updater and update iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open after updating, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes. It will ask you to locate your iTunes Library.
    Note: I've seen users with their iTunes Library on an external drive spin like this when the drive was failed to be seen in Disk Utility. Run Repair Drive on the external drive to fix this issue.

  • ITunes automatically download an updated version of an app which I do not want to. How can I restore the previous version of that app?

  • HT203167 one of my tracks i.e. Sultans of swing ( Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but now only plays for ten second then carries on to the next track, how can I restore the original download ?

    One of my tracks i.e. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but cuts off after 11 seconds, then plays the next track.
    How can I re-download the track again to restore it?

    Delete problem track from library (if it is an iTunes Store purchase and you entitled to redownload past purchases - stop otherwise!)
    Close iTunes
    Open iTunes
    Select iTunes Store in left-hand column
    Select Purchased in right-hand column
    Select Music and Not on this computer
    The track should be listed now with a small cloud symbol which lets you download it.
    If you start downloading the track in step 7 then... While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. (Should should help improve the reliablility of future downloads made with this build of iTunes.)
    If the above hasn't helped then... contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4?

    I recently purchased a second hand iphone4 not jailbroken and i already restored it to factory settings but i can't log in to icloud using my account because it states that  "The maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this iPhone". How can i remove the previous icloud acount from my iphone4? Hope someone could help me on this. Cheers! :)

    Hi,
    My dad gave me his old iphone as he got an upgrade. I can't seem to change his icloud account to mine. I'm getting his updated calender and his mail - and there seems to be some confusion between both our accounts. He seems to be acquiring some of my contacts - some of which have names which have led to some probing questions... So basically this needs to be sorted out! How can i delete his account from the iphone but not his whole icloud account? he would not be happy if i did this...

  • HT4859 How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    How can I restore a previous backup in iCloud storage for my iPad?

    Restoring an iCloud backup requires you to first erase your iPad.  If you have any newer data that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iPad backup.

    Using the older version of firefox is not recommended.
    Try the classic theme Restore for Classic firefox Menu's

  • HT1386 I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous from my account???

    I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous one from my account???

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

    It's doubtful that you deleted it, possible, but likely just hid it or moved it into a folder.
    1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
