Why don't they start with low-hanging fruit like the buggy and slow history and bookmarks view instead of yet another redesign of the main browser interface? Are the designers bored? And stop making everything excessively round. And it kinda looks like Opera, another adware AI browser.

Change for the sake of change.

I really thought we'd be using a Firefox powered by Servo by now, but instead we're getting a second UI rewrite. At least it's not becoming a chromium wrapper.

this is why i stopped donating to the project. Random redesigns intended to pad someone's resume. Giving me a switch to turn off features we all repeatedly insisted we did not want but spent time developing anyway, and expecting me to think this switch is a good thing, etc

Whoever thought it was a good idea to have a full size address area AND a full size vertical bar at the same time needs to find their way to the door. On desktops and large laptops it's not a major problem, but smaller displays it's wasting so much space.
This design feels very generic though. Doesn't really stand out from any other modern browser.

Ladybird, Servo and Orion can't come soon enough.

Firefox 4 was peak design, anything they've did afterwards is to keep designers employed.

Funny, I thought of "they added more things on the window title. They did. Why not add also the URL bar there ?

Oh, FFS, who asked for this? Why not fix perf issues, or autofill randomly breaking requiring a restart?

Somebody finally picked up the login autofill bug, not sure it's production ready

So tired of UI refreshes of things that already work fine.
