I was not 'dissing the Mozilla devs' as you put it. I know that they work hard for us and that they do it all for free. I was just suggesting that it would be nice if these changes were offered to us as a new layout which we could accept or not instead of suddenly appearing after an upgrade. Then we could check them out and decide to go with them or opt to stay as we were. I do hope this did not come across as 'scorn, vitriol and general abuse' it was certainly not intended as such. I just feel that the current system of a, sometimes big, change suddenly appearing could be offered instead as a new option to take on board or not. It was only meant as a minor grumble.
