Corner radius will increase until morale improves
Jokes aside, I’m actually using the new Firefox design. Not much of a fan of the excessive roundness, but it brought back a feature I totally missed for years: Compact layout, you can pick it in the settings an get very tight tab and address bars and menus, it gets rid of a lot of the padding.
I wish to know more
Pretty much all I know is off of this thread:
It would be actually funny if this is real. Please be real.
Well, the message is real, and I don’t think the pilot was joking.

During non-testing hours or weekends, manned flights may sometimes be cleared through, but usually only at extreme altitudes (24,000 feet or higher) and only after being coordinated through local ATC and range control.
What, are you gonna round the corners more?
don’t give them ideas
Maybe once we hit pure circles, we’ll keep going and start getting concave polygons.
Down with Bouba Firefox! Demand the return of Kiki Firefox!
I dunno. I got the new interface and like…it’s aggressively meh?
Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Y’all are starting to sound like late-10s Facebook grandmas.
“But it looks like vibe code!” Yeah, and in the 90s everything looked like Windows, and in the early-00s everything was skeuomorphic, and in the mid-10s everything was flat design. This is an unfortunate design trend, but they’re all unfortunate.
“But rounded corners!” …so? I mean, honestly, I can’t think of a single logical objective problem with them. I don’t like them much either, but I don’t have any actual criticism of them.
As far as I can tell, the only reasonable objection is that they aren’t super great for colorblind folks. That’s real and should absolutely be fixed. But beyond that…
The default stupid ass gradient colors literally hurt my eyes. Not exactly great for a software you’ll be staring at for hours, is it? Defaults should be unassuming. Why do I need to install random themes just so I could use a stupid browser without hurting my eyeballs? I don’t really care about the corners even if I think they look stupid too. It’s everything else. It’s just bad, not to mention fucking pointless.
Just a week ago, my computer was perfectly fine for daily internet usage, now that they modernised the UI and i updated UI sometimes lags behind in firefox. It has slightly worse performance than before, i used to use x201, firefox got stuttery with some forums i used(no stutters with chromium, just ff) and i updated to x230. Now this one has visible lagging as well, ff doesn’t provide any improvements over chromium, i just use it out of stubbornnes yet it just keeps getting worse and i have to compremise more to use it. I am always around the bottom border of performance, ff is always the reason i have to upgrade but i don’t have a laptop i want to uprade to. Now i am on the lookout for some new browser even thought i don’t wanna.
You can disable the new ui. Go to about:config and set “browser.nova.enabled” to false. Not sure if it’ll fix the lagging tho since it might be caused by something else that came with the update.
I reverted back before my prior comment, at this point looking for settings to revert the changes is standart procedure for ff updates.
I am slowly changing to qt browser, i stopped using it bc it was slower than ff but that changed at some point.
There is nothing wrong with new firefox looks? I haven’t encountered any problems.
There was nothing wrong with the old look either. The change should bring something positive to the mix, not “it was ok but now it’s also ok”. It’s a waste of energy if anything.
round fields and this purple/orange theme looks like every shady vibe coded ai tool ever
The highlighted tab looks like a input text field in dark mode, it drives me nuts.
Ahhh I was wondering how exactly it felt off, that! Thank you for putting it into words!
I just found out there is another dark theme is the settings, which is a bit better.
There is a flag in about:config to turn off the super round corners.
Its called:
browser.nova.enabled
Thank you @[email protected] for the correction.
browser.nova.enabled
Username checks out.
Y’all tripping the UI is fine.

This theme is weird whenever i minimize a window i can’t find it again unless i roll the system clock back to before i minimized it.
I honestly haven’t had any issues with any of the changes. Other than the new tab grouping or whatever that is meant to be
I don’t even use tab groups, I rarely have more than three open. I hadn’t even noticed the rounding until this post. I think I use the internet very differently to some people here.
My issue I’m finding, is that some of my tabs are magically grouping, an I have no idea why its even happening. I just notice a line under them
Disable tab grouping in settings if you don’t use it and it gets in the way.
Yeah. I plan to. Might be better already anyway
Actually… Looks like its probably because of Container tabs + facebook container… that makes sense
They’re good for the tabs you pretend you’ll ever get back to
That’s what bookmarks are for.
I can have a boykisser on my URL bar now, so that’s neat.
Could you not before? (I haven’t cared about themes since before XUL stopped being a thing, so I don’t know.)
Maybe with an extension. Not straight out of the box.
Boykisser
Not straight out of the box
That’s how it works, lol.
next it will be just a circle.

Since yall complained so much about rounded corner being “safe”, now it will explode on contact.
I think it’s fine but I understand that some people don’t like it. Good thing is that you can use the style you prefer.
