Default Restoring old gmail

As I mentioned in previous emails I am very disappointed in the new Gmail
that installed itself very recently. Extremely slow on my XP system. A
previous such install included the option to revert to the 'classic' gmail.
This one doesn't. I tried Mozilla support but there seems to be no option
to ask them for such information. Can't find a Gmail or Mozilla newsgroup
that seems appropriate. Google hasn't turned up anything using the search
phrases I tried.

Maybe it's just me.

Any suggestions?

Can you show us a web picture of this thing ?

Gmail is a web mail product.

It also has options for POP3 or IMAP, and those interfaces
allow the usage of Thunderbird perhaps.

You talk of something being "installed", which
implies a POP3 or IMAP client.

Some identifying details would be nice. The
web page where it was downloaded from, or at least
a picture of what it looks like, to try to confirm
what kind of flora or fauna is involved.

With web mail as the option, they can change the
source code (JS/HTML) on the server end, on a moments
notice, and we don't refer to that as "installing",
as you're just viewing whatever content they splattered
on the web page.

There was some talk of "bots" being added to GMail,
that could auto-answer incoming mails. Perhaps that's
the feature that is dragging down the web page you're looking
at ?

If the tool has an "about:" entry, the info in there
might tell us the client type being used.
