Yes the newest version of the Tor Browser Bundle uses Firefox 31 ESR
which uses Australis. The latest ESR release of Firefox has to be
used, or else the Tor Browser cannot continue to get security updates
to the underlying Firefox code: it's not about anyone's preference to
any UI.
Continuing use of an out of date version of the browser bundle is
dangerous, because it would bare security vulnerabilities that would
go unfixed. There is an Add-on that restores Firefox to the older UI.
You can install it so you can get the UI you prefer again while still
using the most up-to-date version of the browser bundle, and won't
have to go without the security updates.
