I hope it's just a joke

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

This looks... nice actually, the settings reminds me of Microsoft Edge though

bring back native styling!

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.

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.

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

While I agree overall it looks nice, I hate gaps and rounded corners. I’m sick of wasted space. And I’m sick of rounded corners.

I swear some people would use NetScape GUI if they could.

Now that would actually be nice!!

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.

Mostly we want them to make the browser itself not suck before worrying about cosmetics.

Monterey theme or Gnome theme forever.

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 think the space is the same but its just camouflaged to look like it's wasted, maybe we should count the pixels tho

I'd use it if it provided blazing fast performance. For me, usability and performance beats any nice looks

literally just fix bugs

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.

I hope it's just a joke

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

Right. My sentiments exactly. Hopefully this won't trickle its way into LibreWolf ...

😡

Again?

I like it too 😅 Although I'd prefer to be able to reduce the spacing as much as possible

do you actually use it? lol
is that even possible without everything breaking?

GUI and UX are totally related so it can improve the not suck part.

userContent.css is absolutely essential for me. I use that to limit the size of images on Thunderbird.

Don't threaten me with a good time

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 don't think pixel count would be a fair comparison for a 30 year old browser. You used to actually be able to count all the pixels back then.

I'm seeing this trend towards rounded corners in quite a few places, though. Certainly feels like early days of a larger design trend...

the old one is fine

i don't think the ui is your main problem, mozilla, but ok i guess.

off by one error

I really hate the trend of people just randomly changing UI in apps for no apparent reason. It's just a pervasive problem at this point.

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).

I think Quantum was last redesign which is older than half a decade now, time flies

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

is this palemoon?

nope, they switched to proton from photon around 2023 iirc

Definitely, after the redesign i now have to read all the labels because just about everything has changed its layout

Again?

again??? why????

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

Switch to Zen. You can toggle vertical tabs with a key press.

So much wasted space 🤮

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

Yes, my first thought went to JetBrains IDEs recent "Islands" redesign, but it somehow looks better in dark mode than it does in these mockups.

But the space isn't wasted. Its used for greater legibility and generally improved accessibility and UX. But also, I dont think you're right 🤔

People have different tastes of course. Mine are dictated by a reading disability amongst other things.
