Have you really looked closely at the options in 'Preferences'
and/or the local config.
The only substantial change in nautilus (Fed18) with respect to
nautilus (fed 17) is the missing 'Extra pane' option. 

If you choose 'list view' you get the folders in the left pane
and the content in list view in the right pane, etc.
If you want a more detailed 'tree' you can always open a second
nautilus window instead of the 'extra pane'. 

I can't remember ever having seen something like 'always open in browse
mode'. Do you mean 'thumbnail view' and/or 'text in icons'. Both are
still available and you can change the size.
