I'm thoroughly convinced UI designers are under the impression we cut ourselves on sharp corners.

There is way too much white-space in this design. I'm tired of getting higher resolution displays only to lose that resolution to applications that get chunkier.

This seems so out of place on every OS and DE I can think of.

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.

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....

I prefer standardized OS wide appearances that are respected by all apps. The only skinning I want are Dark Modes or Mini Player modes (for media players).

Argh, yet another userchrome.css overhaul to do.

Old Firefox looked perfectly fine. I don't know why they keep wasting so many resources on changing something that already worked.

literally just fix bugs

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

I hope it's just a joke

Yes, the classic Mozilla April Fools joke, released a full month early.

again??? why????

oh please no. i fucking hate having to edit my userchrome on every updates..

Wow look at those default screenshots. They look horrible, what a mess.

A useless sidebar, a lot of mess in the homepage, stupid shit being pushed to you.

Everytime i install Firefox i need to do a huge config setup to remove all that useless crap

Seems like Mozilla is still too rich if they can afford complete redesign of their product every 3 years. Let's hope the lepton ui fix will continue to work, I might have to up my donation there..

Firefox hasn't looked good since they changed "Photon" for "Proton" with those awful floating tabs. Thank god for Zen Browser.

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.

Looks identical to Opera browser theme.

Actually, I have round edges. The reason I still prefer Firefox is its squarish design looks more professional and authentic. Anyway Mozilla will never add any features that users wish to have but actively changes unnecessary things. Anyway good luck Mozilla!

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.

I hope vertical tabs will get hidden in fullscreen mode this annoys me a lot now

Again?

Monterey theme or Gnome theme forever.

Hmmm, I think it needs more rounded corners and padding. - UI designer in 2026

Wtf are the symbols on the left?

• Display?
• Sparkles? (bookmark groups?)
• Star (bookmarks in the current ui)
• Time

FFS I miss drop down menus with text options instead of hieroglyphics.

It looks fine, I guess...? Then again, I thought the old design was fine as it was...

Please don't AI...

Golly I can't wait.

But could they get rid of the spy shit first?

😡

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.

For the love of Odin can I please get a title and menu bar.

When you have tabs across the screen where would you click and hold to drag the window?

As much as I loved firefox in the early days - i find it so slow compared to just about all the chrominum based offshoots ive tried. And UX wise - its just confusing to see things change constantly.

I'm hoping this rewrite simplifies the ui code rather. The existing userstyle system is a headache to modify with the documentation being so scattered.
