I know in compact mode it's similar to how it was previously, but knowing that's now hidden away and unsupported doesn't exactly inspire confidence it'll stick around for long…

#13I was worried last year (I think it was last year...) when Mozilla laid off a bunch of people that Firefox would be a casualty. Thankfully that doesn’t seem to be the case!
A tab that doesn't look like a tab but like a button. Progress!

#14How do I get the old style of tabs back? I need every vertical pixel I can get.

#17Looks like this is the first stable version with their renewed UI? Downloading.
Oh dear God, is it like the mobile version? I need to turn off updates asap and test it first. I was willing to give it more time on Android, but it would randomly stop loading pages and that was the last straw. I begrudgingly use Chrome now :/
This should be less drastic, as Fenix was a complete rewrite. Whereas this seems more of an incremental update to the styling.

#18I bounce between qutebrowser, brave, and firefox - could anyone who exclusively uses ff convince me to switch? I've always viewed ff as a solid fine out of ten, and would be interested in hearing more about any unique and cool features.
Also good to keep non-chrome browsers alive.

#20Does anyone feel that this new UI brings notable improvement? I don't think it is much worse, other than taking some extra vertical space but for the most part my reaction is "meh". I feel like these resources could have been spent much better in other parts of the browser. Am I missing some reason why this is worth the investment?
