Quite franky I am tired of these fucking rounded corners everywhere. The current design is fine. Already a bit too rounded. Just make quality of life and web compatibility improvements rather than change the look of the GUI.
Its just wasted space. Horrible design.
Bah just fix the browser first. Give a way to disable audio for given sites. Fix the regression that made it impossible to turn off JavaScript on a page that was already loaded. Give a way to edit bookmark URLs from the toolbar bookmark widget. Make about:processes show why “Firefox” (rather than a specific tab) sometimes gobbled the whole CPU. Etc etc.
To casual users, the sort likely to lap up Apple’s colourful new MacBook Neo or find Google’s Material You colour flourishes appealing, it’s the kind of change that could win over hearts and minds; a way to signal “I am like the others, don’t think me strange”.
This sounds pretentious as fuck.
Because it is
Also material you is absolute dogshit
I don’t like this style, floating and rounded corners. This is (customized) how my Firefox looks and I like it and I don’t want to change it:

Heavy tweaking of Firefox UI (fortunately
userChrome.cssanduser.jsare still available, even if hidden in undocumentedabout:configoptions), heavy tweaking of labwc, using a custom labwc theme, tweaked GTK theme.

Ah that’s a good one too. I like the tabs. After my postings, I did some changes since then. Will do some further adjustments to the tabs. Iike its taking the full height of the tab row. The main thing I changed is having only one Bookmark folder in Bookmarks Toolbar, and put it in the same line as the tabs as a menu.
What’d you customize here?
The color scheme, more dense and compact styles, non floating tabs, less rounded, and here and there stuff. I even changed something after posting. Being able to make changes to the UI with custom CSS is amazing on Firefox.
Mozilla can do whatever the fuck they want as long as it don’t break my CSS, also FUCK ROUND CORNER
Damn, that looks absurdly ugly and even more like a foreign object on the desktop.
I hope this usability nightmare can be completely disabled or toned down so the browser looks like a native program compared to the rest of my programs.
I think it looks really good. The combination of the tab bar and the url bar is a nice touch.
Atrocious.
If you want to try Firefox with a UI Redesign that doesn’t suck, try Zen BrowserI don’t personally understand the side panel thing. Not for me.
Zen browser with its constant animations and UI elements shifting around and fading in and out, and all the blurry surfaces is everything, but not Zen.
