They need to separate out the UI updates from the the rest of it. Then they'd actually have a browser for people.
Why does the UI change with every single Firefox release? I find myself having to re-adjust every time a new update is shipped.
What's wrong with having a consistent experience that survives for more than 6 months? It's just a URL bar, and a bunch of tabs. Just leave it be already.
How do I get the old style of tabs back? I need every vertical pixel I can get.
In that case, install the Tree Style Tabs[1] extension, disable the tab bar altogether, and get back 100% of it :) [1]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/tree-style-ta... EDIT: Ah, looks like capableweb beat me to it by a fraction of a minute!
Chrome does superficial ui updates way less than Firefox. One of them got the priority right. Honestly these kinds of change can be welcomed by some people and not by some others, I personally don't like that thick ass tab bar.
Yeah, why change how things look when you've got data to harvest?
But really I agree, the look is definitely not an improvement.
Does 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?
I'm absolutely sick of this trend of dumbing-down lowest-common-denominator UI, removing useful features and affordances for learning. Insanely huge buttons, rounded corners everywhere, floating controls in a sea-of-white/blackspace...
On the bright side, I believe the UI is still highly customisable so it should be possible to make it look exactly as you want, but it's not exactly straightforward.

In about:config, set "browser.proton.enabled" to false. I don't know if this will work in future versions, but it works in v89.
