I'd really prefer the classic old page, which allowed me to quickly start searching for an addon. So I was wondering is there an addon which restores it or is there a compatible extensions.xul from the last release which has that classic page and which release is it?

Just FYI I'm running Firefox 50.0 64-bit not looking at upgrading due to compatibility issues. And distaste for the new look.

Get Addons in about:addons is loaded with data & CSS from the Add-ons website each time it is displayed. There is nothing within the Firefox program that will change the content that is displayed in Get Addons.

Um, no? Run Firefox 47 as an example and prove me wrong. It's packed in the omni.ja which is re-packable by Winrar.
