You can still get that interface, just choose View --> Apply Theme --> Blue,

Yes I know that I can apply a theme. But the problem is that the 'modern'
style is changing every week.

That's because Modern is being upgraded to a newer, more
polished theme, or Modern 2.0 as some have called it.

It's a work-in-progress. Nightly builds are a snapshot of where things
stand at that moment. The "Modern" theme is still being designed... the
first version got a LOT of negative feedback, so they reworked it. Since
then, they have worked on polishing "Modern 2.0", tweaking things here
and there, putting finishing touches on, and responding to feedback.

Nightlies, by their nature, are going to constantly change and evolve.
More often than every week, you see several new "nightlies" a day.

It's only changed once as far as I can see (to modern/2). The skin is being
checked in over time though, so that's where the changes you're seeing are
probably coming from (i.e. it took a while before the scrollbars were checked
in). There's a screenshot on http://www.mozillazine.org showing how it
eventually intends to look.
