Quite franky I am tired of these fucking rounded corners everywhere. The current design is fine. Already a bit too rounded. Just make quality of life and web compatibility improvements rather than change the look of the GUI.

I kinda like it. But yeah, I'd prefer them to focus more on catching up on features like HDR support, or newer CSS features like anchor positioning...

Bah just fix the browser first. Give a way to disable audio for given sites. Fix the regression that made it impossible to turn off JavaScript on a page that was already loaded. Give a way to edit bookmark URLs from the toolbar bookmark widget. Make about:processes show why "Firefox" (rather than a specific tab) sometimes gobbled the whole CPU. Etc etc.

It's wild to me how UI developers just can't let things be. Certain elements are timeless and just work. Why do you feel you have to reinvent the wheel every few years?

To casual users, the sort likely to lap up Apple’s colourful new MacBook Neo or find Google’s Material You colour flourishes appealing, it’s the kind of change that could win over hearts and minds; a way to signal “I am like the others, don’t think me strange”.
This sounds pretentious as fuck.

I absolutely hate this stupid floating rounded corners trend.
The whole point of corner/edge buttons is so that you can just jam your cursor in that direction and click without the need to carefully aim. KDE's choice to ship this as default for their taskbar was dumb af.
It gives the same vibe as the stupid freestanding baths trend in interior design, where the bathtub is disconnected from the wall, but also not far away enough for you to easily mop the gap properly.

I don't like this style, floating and rounded corners. This is (customized) how my Firefox looks and I like it and I don't want to change it:

Mozilla can do whatever the fuck they want as long as it don't break my CSS, also FUCK ROUND CORNER
looks like shit. can't wait to have them fuck over my highly customized userchrome and having to make it again from scratch...
Damn, that looks absurdly ugly and even more like a foreign object on the desktop.
I hope this usability nightmare can be completely disabled or toned down so the browser looks like a native program compared to the rest of my programs.
I think it looks really good. The combination of the tab bar and the url bar is a nice touch.
Atrocious.
If you want to try Firefox with a UI Redesign that doesn't suck, try Zen Browser

I am happy with Waterfox. Time will tell if this redesign comes to it.
