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
My monitor is too wide for this to make sense

It works on my Firefox profile and I just updated to v. 89.
Is there any way to make page inspector work on browser chrome to see xul tree/css? Searching on the internet for "firefox chrome inspector" is just ridiculously frustrating because of naming conflict with the other browser. Hmm, looking at css, it's still possible to toggle browser.proton.enabled to false, to get at least some of the old UI back (tabs will be less crappy), but the new "color" theme will persist.

Several awful things became immediately apparent: 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 m…

2. "Current Tab" is badly designed[0], because I can no longer tell which is the current tab. This is especially true if you're using container tabs.
3. I don't mind this much, but I have a wide-screen. But I can see this being a nuisance on smaller screens.

It's awful. "Search with Google" is actually the only reason I ever use the context menu. Copy? Keyboard/mouse buttons for that. Select All? Why would I want to do that when I just made a selection? Print Selection? How common can that actually be, to justify being positions above "search the internet for this thing"?? Take screenshot???? Really?? Why does "Inspect Accessibility Properties" get real estate there? Tha…
Just want to say "Take screenshot" is the only reason I use context menu.

I didn't mean the icon, but there's now a line for actual text besides the page title, which I'm assuming is/can be used to display useful info.
Can it? My bar is full of tabs so all I see there is "PLAY" (the fading at the end of the button makes the "I" and "N" hard to see and the "G" is completely gone)

Favioli is a good solution to this problem https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/favioli/
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?
My initial reaction to the beta version was that the UI was much worse, but I decided to give it a chance and spend a few weeks trying to get used to it. Now that I've had time to play with it, I'm even more convinced my initial reaction was correct. But I've also had time to reflect on why, and in my view there are two problems with this new design. Removing visual separators from the tabs makes them much harder to…
While I think the redesign looks good, I don't really have strong feelings on it. I mostly just want a supported interface, so I finally gave up on compact mode. It's just ok. I guess they wanted to differentiate themselves from Chromium browsers in a more significant way?
While most complaints, including from my spouse, are that the tabs are no longer delineated, that part hasn't bothered me much. I consider the delineation the icon on the left, and x on the right.
Part of me likes the freshening up. I won't quit using Firefox over these changes, I've been using it for 20 years now and won't be changing until I'm forced. There's still no other browser with a built-in search bar that also works correctly with a keyboard shortcut other than Firefox and Vivaldi. Vivaldi has everything I need in a desktop browser, it just isn't supported at all on iOS which is equally important for me these days. And honestly, Firefox is probably the only browser that isn't from Apple or Microsoft that I'd use. Otherwise I prefer something as important as a browser backed by a truly large organization. Microsoft Edge is really hard to beat in my view once you consider all the intrinsic qualities to it like support. I'll put it this way, no one is making a mistake using Safari or Edge.
I like most everything about Firefox, the browser hasn't ever been ruined, but you got to wonder if there's truly even a place for 3rd party browsers in this era. If I weren't a legacy user, I'd just use Edge and be happy not knowing what I'm missing out on with alternatives.
