The Classic Theme Restorer add-on for Firefox will stop working when Mozilla releases Firefox 57.0 Stable, and Firefox 59.0 ESR.

 

Classic Theme Restorer was developed as a direct response to Mozilla refreshing Firefox with the Australis theme release in Firefox 29.

 

The add-on allows Firefox users to restore many theme features that Mozilla removed and changed with the Australis launch, or introduced with it.

 

The extension grew quickly, and features an immense set of features and tweaks nowadays that give you control over many features of the browser. Check out 10 reasons for Classic Theme Restorer to find out more about the add-on's functionality.

Very sad. Looks like I won't be updating Firefox past v56. :(

 

I can't, for the life of me, understand why devs make changes to their browsers that get rid of features that many users want.

 

It's what I call the 'Microsoft' mentality. "Do as we say, we know best. Users be damned"

Yeah, same here. :@

 

As much as I hate to say it, my default browser will probably turn out to be Safari soon. 😠
I tried this extension when Australis first came out but soon discarded it as I preferred the new look! So it will be no loss for me  but I have no doubt there will be many other add-ons that will disappear when FF 57 is released. I have been with FF for ever and am likely to stay for a while longer..
Well, most of the tweaks that CTR made possible should still be available to tweak in Firefox's 'about:config' so it's not a huge loss. I just wish that Mozilla would quit trying to make Firefox like Chrome. If I wanted a Firefox that looked and acted just like Chrome then I would just use Chrome. I am a huge fan of customization. Whether is be an OS, browser, or often used program/GUI. Hopefully, as the new standard becomes commonplace, we will see other options that allow for the sort of customization that CTR provided. ;)
