> Based on our research, we found out that more than half of you have 4+ tabs open all the time, and some of you have more, a lot more. This is surprising. I rarely have over three tabs ever, and i usually like to keep it at one.

I have a 400 LOC userChrome.css file because the new redesign was barely usable since Firefox beta received this makeover.
- There is no tab contrast, and very difficult to tell tabs apart. Made worse on sides without Favicons.
- I loved the mic/speaker icon when a tab is playing/listening audio. They had to make it TWO lines in the tab, and made it difficult to notice when you have more tabs.
- I could use some icons in the right top menu. It looks nice and easier to use in Edge, that has icons for every option.
- Compact mode is gone, that was discussed here before.
That said, I like the native elements (buttons, up/down arrows, etc). The new icons in the addressbar look nicer and fits nicely in.

turn it off with browser.proton.enabled=false in about:config
1. the menus use their own font instead of the one specified by the OS (Windows 10). And of course, there is no way to disable this, or at least I could not find one.
2. The "current tab" highlight looks too much like an entry field. Please bring the tab metaphor back, or at least allow the user to keep the existing interface.
3. The padding on the browser tabs (and may be the address bar) have increased. Why?
In short, I don't want a "cleaner" interface. I want an interface with clear affordances.

> The popular Total Cookie Protection moves from the optional strict setting to always-on in private browsing. This feature maintains a separate “cookie jar” for each website you visit while browsing privately. Any time a site deposits a cookie, Firefox locks it up in its own cookie jar so that it can’t be shared with any other website. Why isn't that on all the time, even in normal browsing mode? Like, what breaks b…
Traditionally speaking, anything with a "Login with facebook/google/microsoft/apple account" would break, because the cookie wouldn't be able to work across domains.
This isn't the case now though, mostly...

It's not about multitasking. I open every link in a new tab and generally close the tab once I've consumed that tab. For example, I opened both this article and the comments in new tabs at the same time.
Generally I close down most tabs at the end of the day.
I'm sure this redesign will again mess up my workflow.
I love Firefox ethos, Firefox keeps redesigning itself over and over, and this time, for the worse.

It's always been on one line for me, and I use the default styling.
