Settings >> about firefox >> tap the logo 5 times to unlock advanced settings >> go back to settings >> secret settings >> disable Tab Manager Enhancements
Edit: Same steps work in forks like Ironfox

No one is gonna talk about the horse meat?
I feel like I'm the only one who likes this new design now
It's always the same story with UX change. Everyone hates it, barely anyone is able to look past the period of getting used to it.
The number of people who actually run Pale Moon on Windows XP themed machines today, is extremely limited. Back in the day, people were furious about Australia.
You're not, I like it too.
The aspect ratio of the thumbnails is closer to the aspect ratio of the screen, which makes sense to me.
Also until you reopen each tab, you don't get a mini screenshot of it. I like the mini screenshots so I can see what the page was without having to read its title.

Mine looks like this after the update.
Huh, I have the new menus but not new tabs. Maybe this is some kind of a/b testing?
Are you using some kind of custom DPI hack? Otherwise, it sounds like Mozilla introduced a new bug while working on Firefox... Not great, but at least then it wasn't intentional.
Probably not what you are looking for, but switch to Waterfox.
Yeah they got the old List and Grid style menu
I'm using Fennec and while I don't totally HATE the new UI, it will take so e getting used to.
BUT ... that's really hard to do when it seems to be switching back and forth between the two randomly.
I've been using Waterfox on mobile and really enjoying the tabs style. Easy drop in replacement for Firefox and works with Mozilla sync.
Settings -> Tabs -> List
Or something like that
Settings >> about firefox >> tap the logo 5 times to unlock advanced settings >> go back to settings >> secret settings >> disable Tab Manager Enhancements
I also switched to List view because the new tabs took up so much visual space.
Turning off automatic updates was a good decision. I agree, why would anyone want to see less tabs on the selector screen.
