Corner radius will increase until morale improves
Jokes aside, I’m actually using the new Firefox design. Not much of a fan of the excessive roundness, but it brought back a feature I totally missed for years: Compact layout, you can pick it in the settings an get very tight tab and address bars and menus, it gets rid of a lot of the padding.
Nice.
What, are you gonna round the corners more?
don’t give them ideas
Maybe once we hit pure circles, we’ll keep going and start getting concave polygons.
Someone send firefox that spiky corner design that I saw in /all
They won’t stop until the UI is just a clump of floating circles that each increase in size by 20% on mouseover
They could, if only Luigi Colani was still alive…
I wish to know more
Pretty much all I know is off of this thread:
It would be actually funny if this is real. Please be real.
Well, the message is real, and I don’t think the pilot was joking.

During non-testing hours or weekends, manned flights may sometimes be cleared through, but usually only at extreme altitudes (24,000 feet or higher) and only after being coordinated through local ATC and range control.
next it will be just a circle.

Since yall complained so much about rounded corner being “safe”, now it will explode on contact.
8d6 fire damage in a 20 foot radius.
I still kinda miss calling it Phoenix.
We’ll start having circular monitors like ancient TVs.
Eyes are circles, it’s the natural progression.
There is a flag in about:config to turn off the super round corners.
Its called:
browser.nova.enabled
Thank you @rounding_error@lemmy.today for the correction.
browser.nova.enabled
Username checks out.
This will be removed in a couple versions and you will be forced to use the garbage design and like it.
:/ at least I can hang onto the old design a little longer.
Down with Bouba Firefox! Demand the return of Kiki Firefox!
Librewolf ain’t bad. I’m typing this from it right now. I don’t think it’s sustainable long-term as their dev team is small and it’s only a matter of time before Mozilla does something to intentionally fuck up their downstream. But for now it’s nice.
matter of time before Mozilla does something to intentionally fuck up their downstream
Why so? I don’t think it’s in Mozilla’s interest.
Besides, Mozilla already tried that with shutting Librefox, and they simply rebranded it to Librewolf and kept going for over 5 years now.
Librewolf devs seem very comitted to the project too.
No Android version for mobile devices 😭🤖📱
We do have Ironfox though. Same philosophy
I dunno. I got the new interface and like…it’s aggressively meh?
Nothing amazing, nothing terrible. Y’all are starting to sound like late-10s Facebook grandmas.
“But it looks like vibe code!” Yeah, and in the 90s everything looked like Windows, and in the early-00s everything was skeuomorphic, and in the mid-10s everything was flat design. This is an unfortunate design trend, but they’re all unfortunate.
“But rounded corners!” …so? I mean, honestly, I can’t think of a single logical objective problem with them. I don’t like them much either, but I don’t have any actual criticism of them.
As far as I can tell, the only reasonable objection is that they aren’t super great for colorblind folks. That’s real and should absolutely be fixed. But beyond that…
The default stupid ass gradient colors literally hurt my eyes. Not exactly great for a software you’ll be staring at for hours, is it? Defaults should be unassuming. Why do I need to install random themes just so I could use a stupid browser without hurting my eyeballs? I don’t really care about the corners even if I think they look stupid too. It’s everything else. It’s just bad, not to mention fucking pointless.
Just a week ago, my computer was perfectly fine for daily internet usage, now that they modernised the UI and i updated UI sometimes lags behind in firefox. It has slightly worse performance than before, i used to use x201, firefox got stuttery with some forums i used(no stutters with chromium, just ff) and i updated to x230. Now this one has visible lagging as well, ff doesn’t provide any improvements over chromium, i just use it out of stubbornnes yet it just keeps getting worse and i have to compremise more to use it. I am always around the bottom border of performance, ff is always the reason i have to upgrade but i don’t have a laptop i want to uprade to. Now i am on the lookout for some new browser even thought i don’t wanna.
You can disable the new ui. Go to about:config and set “browser.nova.enabled” to false. Not sure if it’ll fix the lagging tho since it might be caused by something else that came with the update.
I reverted back before my prior comment, at this point looking for settings to revert the changes is standart procedure for ff updates.
I am slowly changing to qt browser, i stopped using it bc it was slower than ff but that changed at some point.
There is nothing wrong with new firefox looks? I haven’t encountered any problems.
There was nothing wrong with the old look either. The change should bring something positive to the mix, not “it was ok but now it’s also ok”. It’s a waste of energy if anything.
round fields and this purple/orange theme looks like every shady vibe coded ai tool ever
The highlighted tab looks like a input text field in dark mode, it drives me nuts.
Ahhh I was wondering how exactly it felt off, that! Thank you for putting it into words!
I just found out there is another dark theme is the settings, which is a bit better.
The previous amount of rounding made the tabs look like tabs. The new version just looks like buttons.
There’s a setting to change it back (for now, at least), but they should make it a part of the themes.
Edit: Link to post I made about the setting when I first got the update: https://lemmy.world/post/52518206
Sausages of various size pretending to be tabs and buttons
It looks fine, if you don’t like it theme can be changed.
The purple makes it look like you’re in an incognito window, but then the neon orange is there to scream “don’t worry, this isn’t an incognito window, nothing shady going on here 👀”

Y’all tripping the UI is fine.
It looks terrible, especially tab groups. And they still haven’t been able to give back icons in context menus
Curved UI elements are the devil.
Liquid Glass. Windows 11. This post could apply to so many UI “improvements”.
I honestly haven’t had any issues with any of the changes. Other than the new tab grouping or whatever that is meant to be
I haven’t really paid much attention to the UI changes, but now that I do look at it I kinda like the round “tabs” because the active one stands out more than it used to (in dark mode, BTW).
Still inferior to way back when they looked ‘attached’ to the browser viewport, like physical manila folder tabs, of course.
example
Yeah I’m usually on the hate train for stuff like this and I have no problem with the newest redesign. Been using since pre-quantum update too.
I don’t even use tab groups, I rarely have more than three open. I hadn’t even noticed the rounding until this post. I think I use the internet very differently to some people here.
They’re good for the tabs you pretend you’ll ever get back to
That’s what bookmarks are for.
But some things are not good enough for bookmarks
Then they’re banished forever. I’m a “clean slate every day” type person. Digital mise en place, clean as you go. Marie Kondo that shit.
Agreed! I don’t know if this perspective is the minority, or if it’s just that the chronic tab openers are overrepresented in meme communities, but I am flabbergasted by the folks who have dozens of tabs open at a time, if not more. Like, I’m ADHD as all hell, so I get that angle, but do these people not have anxiety as a co-morbidity? Once I stop being able to tell from an immediate glance which tab belongs to which train of thought, I have to nuke it and start over.
at least once a year, I will try to clean up my bookmarks. I still have thousands to go through from 15 years of browsing the internet lol. (yeah I’m a “young” fellow compared to some here)
idk why I think it was needed to save to bookmarks the 300+ tabs of right clicking interesting articles while diving TVTropes back then, and I still have not deleted those 600+ bookmarks.
You know I had that same (valid) attitude until in business everything got changed to be a webapp.
My issue I’m finding, is that some of my tabs are magically grouping, an I have no idea why its even happening. I just notice a line under them
You can group tabs by dragging them on top of each other. Maybe you’re doing that accidentally?
The behavior for that seems slightly different. It’s possible it was a bug that was already fixed too (or buggy extension even). but, I did originally think that. It’s not a big deal, and only noticed it recently.
It could be related to this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-ai-enhanced-tab-groups
But even after reading it, it seems it needs to be a deliberate action, not automatically grouping. In the more general support page for tab groups (linked at the bottom of that page), mozilla says AI enhanced tab groups started in version 141.
It could be a bug.
Disable tab grouping in settings if you don’t use it and it gets in the way.
Yeah. I plan to. Might be better already anyway
Actually… Looks like its probably because of Container tabs + facebook container… that makes sense
Tab grouping has been one of the most wanted features for years. There’s just no pleasing everyone…
People like you are the reason I was afraid to go to school as a child.
I don’t get the joke. Why would you be afraid?
It’s a quote from Mystique (the mutant from X-Men) which she says to mutant-hating politician.
The joke here is that liking the design changes makes you an awful person. And it is just that, a joke.
A recent redesign I actually liked was Graphene OS SMS app. They made it Material 3 now, looks really nice.
Mileage varys. I absolutely hate it. If the dev lived in my town I’d tell everyone they were being treated for simian chlamydia after buying a season pass to the zoo.
yea me too
I think it’s fine but I understand that some people don’t like it. Good thing is that you can use the style you prefer.
ULTRA VIEW!!
