Firefox 25 is currently quite good (with Pentadactyl I hide the address and search bar altogether) http://imgur.com/pSzvcAi
This update will make it worse it seems and waste more vertical space (apart from the really ugly aliased curved tabs).

The good news is that if you don't like the new look of firefox, you don't need to see it: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemer...
Of course there is `s` command to search any of your installed search providers and you can do all of this in new tab, window etc.
Pentadactyl is what keeps me using Firefox. When that stops working, it will take me back to stone age when it comes to speed of navigating and researching content online.
