I fucking hate the rounded tabs. Disgusting, space wasting, genericism slop.
So instead of just toggling it off, you invested lots of time intentionally making your browser look bad?
That's the linux spirit
buttons and menus are still rounded I wanted everything square for the colors that's just place holders later I will make it match my desktop theme, plus with my own CSS I can make everything use only one row which is save a lot of space
I've done similar when designing/troubleshooting CSS - obnoxious colours, temporary heavy borders (potentially also obnoxious colours). Makes it much easier to see where your objects are specifically, z-index, unintentional overlaps and so on.
Ok. I just turned that new toggle switch off in about:config because, while I didn't love it, it was for me more just that the old style was easier to parse and I was also used to it.
I did the same at first. Then I went with this instead:
* {
border-radius: 3px !important;
}
I'll fix things one by one slowly, probably until the next UI overhaul comes. Then start over.
Disabling nova in about:config doesn't fix the issues?
I'm in the same boat with a custom theme -- even Librewolf is affected by this crap. Any tips on fixing the search? I don't know what's so hard about a fucking text box that they have to tweak the whole DOM every second update.

About recent change: I actually kinda love it. Those rounded corners look appealing to my eyes, somewhat similar to liquid glass on iOS.
Revolving door of executives means we all get a bowl of Apple's regurgitated lukewarm slop eventually
There actually is UX research behind the rounded corner phenomenon. They make people feel like the interface is easier to use, and that feeling actually leads to a feedback loop where people experience less stress, cognitive load, and genuinely have an easier time using the interface.
"There actually is ux research"
No offer of scale, methodology, funding source, sampling parameters? This isn't a very serious conversation, but fwiw ux research is very often crafted with bias towards a specific end.
