Firefox 29 is out, and it's changed a little. There's already an addon available to make it look like Firefox 28 again.
Hardware & Technical New Firefox version...

Beat me to it Cody! 
Can't say I'm loving the new Australis theme at all.
Classic Theme Restorer helps a lot.
Hide Caption Titlebar Plus gets you a lot of wasted space back too - handy on a laptop.
In both cases, go to the bottom of the page and click 'Development Channel' to get the very latest builds.

Updated, didn't notice any drastic changes, maybe because on the other PC I run Nightly, IIRC on 30.x.x.xx already, and it has looked like FF 29 for a few months already.
Some rounding of Firefox's own boundaries around tool/title etc. bars?
Would've tried the Hide Caption Titlebar Plus, but the link gave 502 bad gateway error...

Hmmm, still working here, try doing a search for it from your 'add ons' page.
Haven't opened it for a while.
Will do so now...
Still on 26!
Now 27. Does it really have to incrementally update like this with a restart every damn time?
...
Nope it jumped to 29. Thought I was gonna have to go through 28 as well there!
Checks it out...
Hmm
It's very chrome. Curved tabs and the menu moved to a hamburger on the right.
The tabs feel larger, tis good, felt a bit too short before.
Overall I think I like it.
Don't matter, only open it for testing

Every time a new version comes out I spend ages trying to make it look and work like my established setup!
What I've set up is/was perfect for me and my browsing and I only update to maintain security and compatibility as the web evolves.I'm still grieving over the fact that v25 perma-broke the Google toolbar ability to click on words you'd searched to then find them within the page. And yes, I realise Google toolbar was deprecated aeons ago but I haven't found anything else that did all I wanted. I would use Googlebar Lite but it doesn't have as-you-type suggestions.
Change sucks.
