Note:
Thanks to David for sharing the solution to avoid icon stretching.
The "fix" is enabled by default on Windows.

*1 Using both together on Windows AeroGlass with 'tabs not on top' simulates
the pre-Australis 'tabs not on top' ui. CTR achieves this with a couple of
combined different options (just in case people want to have more control
of this feature(s)).

*2 Previous ids were not unique enough.
Every id/class starting with "ctr_" was renamed to "ctraddon_", so all themes, extensions, userstyles etc. using them have to be updated, sorry.
Because of this id change, some CTR items might end up in customization palette or at the end of the navigation toolbar.
They have to be moved back to where they were before manually.
If "Classic Toolbar Buttons" addon is used with CTR, CTB 1.4.0beta8+ is required to modify this betas buttons.

*1 mainly for squared tabs

*2 This restores the pre-Australis [tabsontop=true] and [tabsontop=false] handling for these ui parts: #main-window, #titlebar, #navigator-toolbox, #toolbar-menubar, #TabsToolbar, #nav-bar, #PersonalToolbar, #ctr_extra-bar, #ctr_addon-bar. This might be interesting for full themes, which support CTR and want to style things differently for both tabs toolbar modes (on top / not on top). Previous 'tabs not on top' option was merged into this one and has to be reset.

*3 after enabling status-bar and restarting Firefox, status-bar items appear on add-on bars right (not movable on purpose). This option breaks 'ThePuzzlePiece' addons status-bar, so it won't get enabled, if 'ThePuzzlePiece' addon is used.

*4 was default for 'appbutton on tabs toolbar' once, now optional. --> improves compatibility with some other add-ons

*5 features/info:
- experimental (!)
- probably higher compatibility to...
--- ...Personas in some cases
--- ...TabMixPlus (multi row)
--- ...other add-ons
- compared to other squared tabs these...
--- may look different
--- may cause unexpected glitches
--- may have different border colors
--- may be higher in some cases (multi row)
--- are higher on MacOSX and Linux
- no reversed version for MacOSX available or planned
- can be colored like other squared tabs with CTRs color options
- these will not replace the other squared tabs
- should be tested, if the other ones cause troubles
- previous ones should be used, if these cause troubles

CTRs 'star-button in urlbar' to work.
Also make sure the bookmarks button is placed after urlbar like
shown on options tooltip.

*2 Large icons are available for default toolbar buttons only. Other
add-on buttons may look weird next to the big icons.

*3 Thanks to Sonny and his extension 'Customize Palette Fix' for providing a
clean way to restore 'spaces', 'flex spaces' and 'separators'. Users will
have to move them to toolbars again, because previous item ids got removed.

*4 If the button keeps staying on add-ons bar 'restore defaults'
has to be used once.

Add-on status update (2013-11-18)

- Classic Theme Restorer is out -

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/classicthemerestorer/

Some comments from me to clarify a few thing regarding this add-ons development I saw on some forums and articles across the Internet:

• I'm not a Mozilla employee, just making add-ons for Mozilla products. ;-)
• Old browser features are not brought back using code 1:1 from older browser versions. Some options are more like a new 'interpretations' of old features (small buttons, hidden nav-bar, text mode, icons+text mode). They may not work with all buttons and toolbars out there.
• The restored 'squared tabs' are created the same way themes modify tabs, so there is a big chance they won't be compatible with extensions that colorize or modify tabs, especially after such extensions get updated to work with Australis UI.
• This add-on uses different ids and classes for new and old features -compared to current non-Australis Firefox- mostly to avoid conflicts with old classes and ids that are still reserved in UX/Australis

A list containing all features this add-on is currently capable of:

Modifiy Australis UI #11 - custom toolbars #2

It is possible to have more than one custom toolbar, so I included an option to enable/disable a toolbar below bookmarks toolbar.

Buttons, urlbar, searchbar, spaces etc. can be moved to this toolbar, if needed.

Modifiy Australis UI #10 - findbar position

On current builds the findbar is at the bottom again. A new option forces findbars position on top or at the bottom.

- Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #9 - spaces and flexible space

A while ago I got asked whether Australis can have spaces and flexible spaces or not. It can.


The only toolbar flexible spaces make sense on is the custom add-ons toolbar. Button can be 'moved' to the right for example.

This add-on contains 5 items for flexible spaces and 5 for 'normal' spaces at the moment. The images to indicate them are only visible in customizing mode (image #2 and #3).

- Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #8 - tabs.drawInTitlebar #2

Recent UX / Australis changes caused an issue between application button (= Firefox button) on titlebar and browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar set to false. Disabling tabs in titlebar through TabsInTitlebar.allowedBy(...) argument also leads to same issue. See #882009.

The option application button on titlebar works, but the button cannot be on titlebar like it is with 'tabs in titlebar' enabled.

In this case the option application button on toolbar seems to be the cleaner solution.

Most users won't be affected by this, because browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar is enabled by default and application button looks like it should.

- Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #7 - modified curved tabs

Squared tabs colors + curved tabs = modified curved tabs (on Fx Windows Aero theme).

- Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #6 - tabs.drawInTitlebar #1

[Update]
On recent UX builds the (Windows) application button (= Firefox button) can not be in titlebar anymore, if browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar is set to false. Most users won't notice this, because the option is set to true by default.
[/Update]


The upcoming add-on will support both browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar states true and false.

The corresponding setting still exists and can be accessed through about:config, but Mozilla will remove it one day. Thanks to Mike for providing a way to use this ui tweak even after its removal (in the future).

Iconsets for toolbar buttons on Australis / UX

The next version of 'Classic Toolbar Buttons' (v1.3) will have updated iconsets for all toolbar buttons currently available in UX builds.

Only toolbar button icons are replaced by this, not PanelUI menu icons.

- Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #5 - custom toolbars

Here is something, that will make many people happy.

It is possible to restore the add-on toolbar in Australis UI. Thanks to Mike for providing the code to make this possible.

- Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #4 - icons + text mode

Icons + text mode for default toolbar buttons.

 - Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #3 - text only

JoeG asked me whether it is be possible to restore the 'text only' mode for the remaining toolbars in Australis theme or not. It is. Therefore the 'movable back-forward' options of this add-on will have to be used as well to prevent urlbar corruption, because of the 'back-forward-urlbar' combination in Australis design.

It is also possible to restore a not very accurate 'icons+text' mode. The reason I call it 'not very accurate' are add-ons with non-standardized buttons and button icons, that can lead to a corrupted nav-bar.

I doubt anyone misses  'icons+text' mode or am I wrong?

- Aris

Modifiy Australis UI #2 - hide nav-bar

Moving urlbar into tabs toolbar is not possible on UX builds (Australis design).

The upcoming add-on will provide the ability to move back-forward button, urlbar, reload button and stop button into tabs toolbar and to hide navigation toolbar.

Small button view in Firefox UX (Australis ui)

There is no 'small icon view' in Firefox Australis ui anymore. It got removed.

Classic Toolbar Button simulates 'small buttons' on navigation toolbar by altering a few margin-, padding-, height- and width values. Install at least v1.2.8.1 and select the corresponding nav-bar button menulist option from add-ons options page.

https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/cstbb/

Modifiy Australis UI #1 - upcoming add-on

Mozilla decided to move to Australis design in one of the upcoming Firefox releases, probably in Firefox 28 or later.

The upcoming add-on (still unreleased and wip) will allow Firefox users to optionally restore some 'classic' ui parts, that are not present in Australis anymore. Users will be able to test these options once Australis enters nightly channel.

#########################################################################

Firefox UX preview (with add-on installed)

#########################################################################

The add-on for Firefox 26+ (Austalis design - Windows, MacOSX, Linux) restores squared tabs, appbutton/appmenu (known from Firefox for Windows), bookmarks menu button, bookmarks sidebar button, history sidebar button and other buttons from Firefox 4-26 (non-UX). All buttons are fully optional and have to be added to toolbars manually. Use browsers 'Customize' menu to move buttons to your favorite toolbar.

This add-on will not restore the add-ons toolbar. Adding/creating new toolbars is not possible anymore or at least at the moment. -> Modifiy Australis UI #5

Squared tabs
Classic tabs setting removes new curved tabs and replaces them with squared tabs.

Disable 'Tabs on Top'
The know 'tabs.onTop' setting got removed from about:config on Firefox 26+ (UX). This add-ons setting can place tabs below navigation toolbar again.

Small nav-bar buttons (Windows only)
Navigation toolbar buttons get alternative margins and paddings to simulate the "old" small icon view.

Findbar at the bottom
Moves findbar back to the bottom of the window.


Hide navigation toolbar
This setting is for those who like to move all their nav-bar items to other toolbars making the nav-bar unneeded.

Restore add-ons toolbar
This setting creates a new toolbar at the bottom of the windows, where toolbar buttons can be moved to.

Restore navigation toolbars 'text' mode and 'icons+text' mode
Some users still prefer to have text below toolbar button icons or to remove icons completely. This settings allows to select 'icons', icons+text' or 'text only' mode for toolbar buttons on navigation toolbar.


Application button / application menu settings 

- Application menu toolbar button -
The new appmenu toolbar button can be placed on navigation toolbar, personal toolbar or tabs toolbar. If it is placed on tabs toolbar before or after the tabs container and the menubar is not active or visible, the appbutton appears on browsers titlebar (Windows only). It appears on tabs toolbar, if the menubar is visible (Windows only).

- Application menu titlebar button [Windows only] -
The appmenu titlebar button is placed on titlebars left and is not moveable.

- Application button colors -
On tabs toolbar and titlebar the appbutton can be orange, blue (Aurora), black (Nightly), transparent, blue (Palemoon), red, green and gray [in normal browsing mode] and purple [in private browsing mode] like on previous Windows browser versions.

- Note -
The new appmenu is not a 1:1 copy of the old one, but it looks as original as possible. Some elements like the 'splitmenu' (combined menuitem with a popup submenu) got removed from Firefox 26 (UX), so a menuitem and a submenu are ordered in a row now instead. Appmenu also misses some menuitems inside developer and options submenus, that cannot be duplicated.

Bookmarks menu button
The bookmarks menu button is a default 'toolbar button', that can be placed on navigation toolbar, personal toolbar or tabs toolbar. On personal toolbar the buttons contains both an icon and a label. If the button is placed after the 'bookmarks toolbar items', the personal toolbar looks even more like the one known from older browser versions.

Bookmarks sidebar button
The bookmarks sidebar button is a default 'toolbar button', that can be placed on navigation toolbar, personal toolbar or tabs toolbars. It toggles the bookmarks sidebar.

History sidebar button
The history sidebar button is a default 'toolbar button', that can be placed on navigation toolbar, personal toolbar or tabs toolbars. It toggles the history sidebar.

Back-forward, reload and stop buttons
Browsers default buttons got merged with urlbar and cannot be moved to different areas on a toolbar or to different toolbars anymore. This add-on recreates those buttons as default 'toolbar buttons'. They can be placed on navigation toolbar, personal toolbar or tabs toolbar.

Windows - Linux - MacOSX
This add-on was tested on Windows 7 (AeroBasic, AeroGlass, Classic) & 8 & XP (Classic, Luna-Blue, Luna-Silver, Luna-Olive, Zune, Royale), Linux Mint and MacOSX 10.8.x. On other OSs or non OS-default themes tab colors may look wrong. Bookmarks, history, stop, reload, back and forward toolbar buttons use default OS icons (Firefox Windows icons on Windows systems, Firefox Mac icons on MacOSX and Firefox Linux icons on Linux systems).

Know 'issues'/'glitches'

1. Application menus 'cut', 'copy' and 'paste' buttons do not always work like they should.
2. Switching between AeroGlass and AeroBasic on Windows 7/Vista could change appbuttons position in tabs toolbar, if the menubar is disabled. Maximizing/restoring browsers main window or restarting browser fixes this. This glitch is caused by MS Windows and titlebars behavior and not by this add-on.

Notes

1. Do not install this add-on on Firefox 4-26 (non-UX). It is not intended to be used with older versions and will certainly break some parts of the UI and not work correctly at all
2. This add-on was made for browsers default theme only and will certainly break parts of the UI, if used along with themes. Additional buttons and their options may work fine.
