Did Firefox just update the default skin?
Not a fan. I like my menu bars in classic light grey.

It did indeed. I suppose one can switch to another one, like before.

I read a couple of weeks ago that from this version it is gone, gone,
gone. And a lot of Add ons won't work.

Oh? Well, as long as uBlockOrigin and Ghostery still work (they seem to)
I am not too concerned. Still, I do not really like those big overhauls.

The development cycle of the Mozilla software (Firefox and T'bird) has
been bothering me for a while already. Something's wrong if a software's
version number keeps jumping from N.0 to (N+1).0 every month or two.
One has to wonder whether their software is so poorly designed that they
have to keep ditching backward compatibility. Because, to my knowledge,
that's what the first portion of the version number is supposed to indicate.

I cannot pretend to understand how they work, but I see what you mean.

What happened to the idea that stability was a virtue?

Exactly. It /was/. As in past tense, not conditional :P
Nowadays, it seems like any stability still perceived is purely virtual
instead.
