Google Blogger Interface for Low Bandwidth Users?

The new Google Blogger interface is very much slower and much more difficult to use under the Google Chromium browser. Also I have found that I can't get the interface to work at all with Firefox with Firefox 15.0.1 for Linux. Is there some way to get a simplified, efficient, less-interactive HTML interface for blogger? As it is the new interface is a very large step backwards and a great inconvenience. Even on a university network with a multi-gigabyte Internet connection Blogger is now so slow as to be annoying. I tried sending Google some feedback via Blogger but in Firefox I could not get the Google feedback function to work.
