Why is FF 25 Find feature harder to use?

Unsurprisingly, the new search “feature” in Firefox 25 is nearly impossible to use. Echoing the changes in Windows Vista and 7 of making search nearly unusable, the same has been inflicted on Firefox.

Why would you ever do something like this?

Luckily, you can use this with Stylish to mostly unfuck that Mozilla UI atrocity which, by the way, violates Fitt’s Law and several other major usability guidelines. And I found this that you can use to disable the useless animation, just insert it in that Stylish style somewhere:

findbar {
transition: none !important;
}

I think I am using somewhere around 70 extensions, tweaks and hacks now to get Firefox to work as it should — i.e., features that have been removed to make it work more like Chrome, or to be phone- and tablet-friendly. Or just taken away altogether in some attempt to have a browser that actually does nothing.

By the way Mozilla devs, if I wanted to use a tablet browser on my fucking desktop I’d pick up my fucking tablet.
