i don't think the ui is your main problem, mozilla, but ok i guess.

I really hate the trend of people just randomly changing UI in apps for no apparent reason. It's just a pervasive problem at this point.
thanks i hate it if youre gonna keep going chromium then take from vivaldi.
but really you should take from seamonkey and palemoon for ui ideas mozilla
How much of their Google Search money did they use to pay a bunch of consultants for this?
literally just fix bugs
I don't like gaps, included rounded corners. Let me use all my screen space dammit
😡
I hope it's just a joke
Yes, the classic Mozilla April Fools joke, released a full month early.
off by one error
No thank you. I like Firefox the way it is. I hate big changes for the sake of designers keeping their jobs changing my tools and workflow and making things ugly.
Right. My sentiments exactly. Hopefully this won't trickle its way into LibreWolf ...
Again?
Ultimately I just need Firefox to always support about:config, manifest v2 compatibility, and userChrome.css and userContent.css.
That said, usually changes like these break my extremely minimal redesign and configs I have on my desktop. So... boo, Mozilla, boo....
userContent.css is absolutely essential for me. I use that to limit the size of images on Thunderbird.
This seems so out of place on every OS and DE I can think of.
I'm seeing this trend towards rounded corners in quite a few places, though. Certainly feels like early days of a larger design trend...
bring back native styling!
This looks... nice actually, the settings reminds me of Microsoft Edge though
I like it too 😅 Although I'd prefer to be able to reduce the spacing as much as possible
I like this a lot! However I hope they keep the userChrome function because as nice as it is I’m going to keep my LibAdwaita skin anyways.
I really like it, I feel like it fixes some of the issues with groups and tabs looking a bit weird currently. Lol, I always like Firefox redesigns and really cannot understand how people go apeshit when that happens. I swear some people would use NetScape GUI if they could.

Don't threaten me with a good time
do you actually use it? lol is that even possible without everything breaking?
I'd use it if it provided blazing fast performance. For me, usability and performance beats any nice looks
While I agree overall it looks nice, I hate gaps and rounded corners. I’m sick of wasted space. And I’m sick of rounded corners.

Now that would actually be nice!!
i think the space is the same but its just camouflaged to look like it's wasted, maybe we should count the pixels tho
I don't think pixel count would be a fair comparison for a 30 year old browser. You used to actually be able to count all the pixels back then.
Mostly we want them to make the browser itself not suck before worrying about cosmetics.
GUI and UX are totally related so it can improve the not suck part.
The mobile client and fork I use both have that design language now. It's a little cutesy for me and I dislike having to click twice to get the full menu but otherwise no complaints.

Settings –> customize -> toolbar layout -> expanded
Firefox hasn't looked good since they changed "Photon" for "Proton" with those awful floating tabs. Thank god for Zen Browser.
