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

Tab grouping has been one of the most wanted features for years. There's just no pleasing everyone...

The behavior for that seems slightly different. It's possible it was a bug that was already fixed too (or buggy extension even). but, I did originally think that. It's not a big deal, and only noticed it recently.

It could be related to this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-ai-enhanced-tab-groups

But even after reading it, it seems it needs to be a deliberate action, not automatically grouping. In the more general support page for tab groups (linked at the bottom of that page), mozilla says AI enhanced tab groups started in version 141.

It could be a bug.

That's what bookmarks are for.

at least once a year, I will try to clean up my bookmarks. I still have thousands to go through from 15 years of browsing the internet lol. (yeah I'm a "young" fellow compared to some here)

idk why I think it was needed to save to bookmarks the 300+ tabs of right clicking interesting articles while diving TVTropes back then, and I still have not deleted those 600+ bookmarks.

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

The previous amount of rounding made the tabs look like tabs. The new version just looks like buttons. There's a setting to change it back (for now, at least), but they should make it a part of the themes. Edit: Link to post I made about the setting when I first got the update: https://lemmy.world/post/52518206

Sausages of various size pretending to be tabs and buttons

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 ...

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.

There is a flag in about:config to turn off the super round corners. Its called: browser.nova.enabled Thank you @rounding_error@lemmy.today for the correction.

This will be removed in a couple versions and you will be forced to use the garbage design and like it.

Y'all tripping the UI is fine.

It looks terrible, especially tab groups. And they still haven't been able to give back icons in context menus

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.

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.

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.

Librewolf ain't bad. I'm typing this from it right now. I don't think it's sustainable long-term as their dev team is small and it's only a matter of time before Mozilla does something to intentionally fuck up their downstream. But for now it's nice.

What, are you gonna round the corners more?

They won't stop until the UI is just a clump of floating circles that each increase in size by 20% on mouseover

round fields and this purple/orange theme looks like every shady vibe coded ai tool ever

The purple makes it look like you're in an incognito window, but then the neon orange is there to scream "don't worry, this isn't an incognito window, nothing shady going on here πŸ‘€"

It's a quote from Mystique (the mutant from X-Men) which she says to mutant-hating politician.

The joke here is that liking the design changes makes you an awful person. And it is just that, a joke.

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.

Agreed! I don't know if this perspective is the minority, or if it's just that the chronic tab openers are overrepresented in meme communities, but I am flabbergasted by the folks who have dozens of tabs open at a time, if not more. Like, I'm ADHD as all hell, so I get that angle, but do these people not have anxiety as a co-morbidity? Once I stop being able to tell from an immediate glance which tab belongs to which train of thought, I have to nuke it and start over.

Seriously bitching FF must be the favourite sport of the FOSS community. Whatever they do people complain. You can just switch off the new design if you hate it. Or move to a fork. Or create yours. Or just fucking use Chrome because round corners.

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.

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.
