It's official, this creation will actually be released in the next Firefox update.

>>108873648looks like shit
>>108873648waow more material design
>>108873648Not beating the tranny browser allegations
>>108873648What's that? I use Librewolf
Are they going to put on bell bottoms for the announcement and do the Macarena? They're jumping on last decade's fashion. It's pretty pathetic.
>>108873648i wonder if we will be able to use custom css to modify the ui because everything is fucking massiveif not it's over
>>108873699You can already enable it in about:config.I've tested it with my clean/compact CSS and it broke nothing except made tabs into pills which was fixable in 1min.
>>108873709noice, i don't wanna migrate to chromiumshit or meme forks
FUCK. FUCK..FUCKKKKKKKKK...................
>>108873648Here's all of the flags in about:config for those that want to try it on 1.5.1+Browser:>browser.nova.enabled>browser.smartwindow.nova.enabled>browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled>browser.urlbar.quicksuggest.ampTopPickUseNovaIconSizeSettings Page:>about.glean.redesign.enabled>browser.settings-redesign.enabledYou gotta restart after enabling them for all of it to take effect.I honestly have no idea what they were thinking.
>>108873745Also forgot to note that the extra padding only seems to be applied on the macOS versions as of now.
>>108873745Why would you want to try it?The real question is how can you disable this shit once 152 ESR comes out.
>>108873648I like it.
>>108873782Well some people would like it I assume, also to test out your custom CSS compatibility.>The real question is how can you disable thisBy using those flags I listed, however, once the flags are removed you will have to either use a CSS or a fork of Firefox that does not have it.
>>108873792Well, WE can only hope it will still be optional and the flags will still work then
palantircore design
>>108873782>>108873792>>108873648i will just keep using this. https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix It's photon but more compact aswell. Otherwise we always have manual CSS stuff.
>>108873717vibe-code you own or fuck off then
>>108873648>AI purple designit's over
>>108873656way better than the current settings page
>>108873648Thanks but I'm sticking with Icecat
I'll just stick with Firefox ESR.
>>108873648What is this aids
no i liek my curr design
>>108873648ROUNDERWE GOTTA DO IT ROUNDERROUNDER CORNERSFRIENDLIER CORNERSEXPERTS SAYS ROUNDERS CORNERS ARE BESTERSFULL CIRCLE FULL CIRCLE
i like round corners everything looks more friendly and safe
looks like shit
>>108873854That doesn't look TabMixPlus compatible (only reason I still use Firefox)
>>108873648Looks pretty nice, to be honest.
>>108873648Purple is my favorite color so I really like it.
this amuses me because I quit using firefox the last time they tried to force-feed me a "redesigned" version that was incompatible with any of my extensions and fucked up my workflow with irreversible interface changesI just said "no, fuck off," and switched to a different browser, knowing that if they did it once, they were going to do it againand oh look they're doing it again wow who could possibly have seen that one coming! no wonder nobody's using this shit
>>108873792>or a fork of Firefox that does not have it.pale moon renaissance
>>108874162>TabMixPlusdoes that have anything that Vivaldi can't do out of the box? I'm only asking because you said>only reason I still use Firefox
>>108873648I really hate rounded corners.
>>108873854this completely removed any load times I've had I'm stuck with a shitty old thinkpad and youtube fully loads in 3 seconds with this dafuq
>>108874469so make them square.
>>108873648so why am I mad?aside from the excessively rounded tabs i'm not seeing much of a difference
>>108874511the margins and page rounding are pretty shit design choices desu
>>108873854>https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fixwow so difference much improve many icon
>>108873792>By using those flags I listedNoted them all down and hope I'll still be able to disable them once the update happens.
>>1088746361st release after ESR they get removed :^) Also they will manage to butcher the old UI in the ESR release too. Mark my words, I've seen it happen many times.
>>108874768Fucking...Who even asks for this shit, man.
>>108874343Same. I even made appenglow inspired themes for other programs
I'm sorry, that just looks ass.Are they trying to look unique?Because it looks uniquely bad.
>>108874422hm, excuse you !
>>108873648>>108873656it looks awful
>>10887483056 was the last good version
>>108873648what in the goddamn
>>108873672It doesn't need to.
>>108874422What browser
>>1088751613.6, for me.
>>108875212Bloated, made me switch to opera. 2.0 was the good stuff.Rocked that "Spread Firefox" banner on whatever forums I used to hang on.
>>108873648didnt mozilla force all devs to troon or something
>>108873648Only thing stopping me from jumping ship is picrel is it having a userscript manager now but the (non-abandoned) XT script not working
>>108873648I hope they keep the compact view option available. I want to see as little of my browser interface as possible.
I prefer tabs to look like tabs with clear borders, not some disconnected thing.
why do they keep redesigning the browser every few years man, last good design was in FF57, then they made every tab a a button and removed animations and icons, now they make everything "AI-purple" like it was slopcoded by claude
SONIC'S ARMS ARE NOT BLUE
>>108873648I like it
There was absolutely nothing wrong with this look.
>>108876676>change bad>change scaryGrow up.
>>108876691Change is usually for the worse these days. They took our Live Bookmarks.
>>108875281That's basically why I stopped using it too, plus a few other websites I frequent breaking irreconcilably.
>>108873745they were probably thinking it's been a few years since their last UI refresh and it's time for another oneget the over yourself or build your own browser>>108874511you're supposed to hate any and all change
>>108873745Ok, now the opposite: How do I set those flags to turn this OFF?
>>108873745tab padding is fucked for me, especially in verticalbut i'm not going to change the browser over this.
>>108873648Looks ok to me (but I don't have autism).
>>108876226Probably for the people who think a design a few years old looks ancient and that it has to be kept whatever the current modern is. It should just be a new default theme if anything has to be changed.
>>108873648Whoever settled on violet as a focus color deserves a high five.In the face.With a chair.
>>108873745>I honestly have no idea what they were thinking.That's because you're forgetting to consider the obvious: they weren't thinking at all.
>>108873648it's actually halfway here in 151 already. Firefox Home is set up to use the Nova styles (all triggered from a master switch "nova-tokens" CSS class on the root <html> element) and there is no built-in way to turn it off or customize it.
>>108876691you'll never be a woman
>>108877076 (cont)In case anyone wants to get rid of the eyesore (for as long as we can):>browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled false
>>108877087You can change. You can become the woman you feel, but don't yet see in the mirror. You are free.
>>108873656>>108873648Not getting your gay shit, post the 1000th update on r*ddit
>>108873648Why does ui keep getting enshittified?
>>108877264jews
>>108877264Troons, Jews, AIslop, you name it. Everything is going to shit and this is the world (You) live in.
>>108874511/g/ just hates anything new or that has changed.
For me, it was the UI that had the little orange button on the top left. No idea what year but it felt comfy and different from other browsers at the time.
Come home
>>108875188You're right, it's leaning into it. All straight men use Zen at this point any way.
>>108877813FF4 was peak Firefox.
For me, it's Helium
>>108873745Erm, my tabs don't look different
>>108877813Adding that was already a problem. I remember a priority was removing that and wanting a normal menu.
>>108873648>>108873656that is vile
>>108873648>lets implement design standards that are just now becoming outdated
>>108873648>>108873656I don't particularly care about the rounded edges of the tabs and otherwise, everything else looks the same.>>108878022Better late than never...? I mean, they would ideally implement something new, but they're a small non-profit team, please understand. They need to give their CEO at least 5 raises a year to maintain their competitive wage offerings.
>>108873648>IS THAT A SHARP CORNER, ON MY PROGRAM?!?! OH MY GOOOOOOD!!!KEK, the absolute state of techties
>>108873648Please tell me this won't completely rape my custom css.
>>108878111It will.
>>108876676God, I remember browsing the web like that as if it was yesterday. Since then we've gone through wave after wave of enshittification and pandering to normies and mobile first design.
>>108878124Same. I hear that digital click sound whenever I see those blue links.
>>108877813Aesthetically I'm not a fan of skeuomorphism but I have to admit the UI in that pic nails it from a functionality standpoint. Just look at how the tabs are clearly separated and the currently selected tab is in the foreground, merged with the bar while the other tabs are on a different plane. At some point Mozilla did a complete 180 and left us with the sorry UI we have now where every tab blends together because there's no fucking borders around them. Not even the selected tab is distinguishable without a custom theme because it's only like 2% lighter or darker than inactive tabs. Whoever designed that must be blind, probably hired as part of Mozilla's diversity initiative.
>>108878147>I have to admit the UI in that pic nails it from a functionality standpoint. Oh my God. Just look at how the tabs are clearly separated and the currently selected tab is in the foreground, merged with the bar while the other tabs are on a different plane.
>>108873648how about they fix fractional scaling on Wayland instead? I still sometimes get visual glitches with context menus or extension pop-ups disappearing
Who cares? Use Zen
well it's been a while since any of firefox features brought anything remotely useful, but it has finally happened: webserial coming to firefox.https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/05/web-serial-support-in-firefox/I can finally uninstall chromium
Looks great, firefox is already the best looking browser on the market and they improve upon that.Now it's like a combination of firefox and safari, I like it.But isn't it too early to release it?I thought that they were at least a year away from finishing this visual redesign.
>>108873648still not updating my firefox, still on version 143
>>108878170kek
How do they do it? Every single interface change is for the worse, every single time it gets uglier and uglier. This shit has turned me into a tweakfag because my eyes bleed from this abysmal garbage.
>>108873656>>108873648Are they going to take away my ability to use a menubar? And custom CSS?
>>108873674>LibrewolfLiterally just Firefox with less jeeted defaults. You won't be able to escape there.
>>108879658Nope, it's just a new skin (css literally), rest will stay the same.
>>108873648FINALLY.
>>108877832I'm so straight I use a tranny browser without doubting my sexuality.
>>108873648>sync on firefox mobile stopped working for the 3rd time in 12 months>sign in/sign out doesn't fix it>clearing cache doesn't fix it>can't debug because trannynigger devs removed the power user pages>e.g., "about:sync-logs" no longer exists, even with debug/dev mode enabledwhat are these fucking retards even doing?
>>108879912>presenting our new look that we spent time on>and also our old look that you actually wantI hope all this hard work made the browser engine better ha ha
>>108879962and btw the only solution that does fix it is clearing all user files, which just wipes the entire user profile.
I wonder how this will break my finely tuned Firefox that took months to get to this point.Still can't hide the native tab bar.
>a browser that is on life support only so the supporting company can claim that its own browser doesn't have a monopoly did a thingokay
>>108879996>Still can't hide the native tab bar.Why not? It's definitely possible with CSS.However I noticed they increasingly use shadow-root components which limits styling. I tried customizing the customize button on the new start page. but it can't be individually selected.
>>108879912If you look closely, their new compact mode is just normal mode, as it now has to remove the retarded added padding lol, doesn't make things actually smaller and tighter
Waterfox chads stay winning
>>108877893the designers only intended it to look good on a Mac sorry bucko
>>108873648I don't get it, what's the difference?
>>108873648hey ff fags how do I stop this cunt from bothering me?
>>108880546Stop using the tarball and update it through your package manager instead.
>>108880546Haven't seen that in years
Big bill yay
>>108873648My firefox just updated and is no longer able to play youtube content without dropping most frames. I literally have to switch browser again.Since librewolf bugged out and is preventing me from updating ubuntu (even though I uninstalled), I guess I might have to go to chrome again. Fuck my life.
>>108876691Changing things for the sake of changing things is, in fact, usually bad.
>>108880858Sorry, samefag here. It is my computer causing this, not firefox. Brave doesn't work either. I rebooted and now blackscreens everytime I open settings (and the scaling was reset). There wasn't even an update.
>>108880546Create a folder called "distribution" inside your firefox installation folder. Inside the distribution folder create a file called policies.json that includes this{ "policies": { "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true }}
{ "policies": { "ManualAppUpdateOnly": true }}
>>108879912>compact mode>look inside>it's normal mode
>>108879912>compact mode>it actually have larger UI elements than the previous "normal mode"
>>108879996switch to ESR
usecase for a UI refresh?
>>108880546Click Download
>>108882342Resetting the timer until the next planned UI refresh.
>>108877828I tried but it hogs more RAM than FF.
