I'll have to see if I can get used to this thing where tabs are now buttons. Even the burger menu doesn't have the small arrow to show where it came from. It feels like a continuation of the trend to remove hints UI about which things relate to each other.
> Tabs also got a glow-up to be a touch brighter when active.
Tabs shouldn't be a touch brighter, they should be highly contrasted against inactive tabs.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I miss text that would just wrap along the length of the window. Using Github always infuriates me because I have a nice, wide macbook screen, yet they force code to be displayed in a text box that uses maybe 1/3 of my screen width
That would be Github's fault; if they specifed boxes in percentages they would have different problems...
I love Firefox ethos, Firefox keeps redesigning itself over and over, and this time, for the worse. 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 TW…
I remember the day when Firefox was one of the first things so many people installed on a new Windows machine. I struggle to figure out how Firefox is going to gain marketshare today. I think the privacy features sound great but most people probably believe that the existing browsers consider their privacy as well. Google has such an advantage that they can promote Chrome to users who use their search every day multi…
> 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. If i really need to multitask that many things I'd prefer to open another window and either splitscreen or move it to a different workspace. I don't like the redesign. I think I'll be moving…
You find it surprising that people have more than 4 tabs?

Two weeks ago I had a major cleanup after I reached over 1800 open tabs(with few duplicates). A few years ago I though 100 tabs were excessive. Turns out they're just better bookmarks than actual bookmarks.
Luckily Firefox can handle it without any issues or slowdowns.

I use tree style tabs because I regularly have 20+ tabs open. Android on my phone right now actually has the infinity symbol instead of a number of tabs open, I think it did that when I crossed 100
That said, I wasn't completely happy with how TST sat alongside the default tab bar (and my use of pinned tabs) - thankfully its infinitely customisable so I put together a basic, timed custom style to clean things up a bit (with respect to my personal preferences!): https://gist.github.com/theprojectsomething/6813b2c27611be03...

It seems every UI eventually turns into a featureless sea of white (or black) once enough "modern" "designers" have their way with it.
I seriously do not understand the appeal of "clean" or "sleek", and the ridiculous hiding of everything that's important; the appropriate analogy here is that of a machine shop, where tools and work are everywhere you look --- and a "clean" one with everything put away is a sign of nothing being done.
