I absolutely hate the redesign, having the new tab button in the middle makes no sense, the corner is way easier to tap, having the individual tabs be taller makes them take up more space while looking worse and the tab selector takes up the whole screen, so I can't see the tab I was on.
For context, this is what it was like before:

Settings >> about firefox >> tap the logo 5 times to unlock advanced settings >> go back to settings >> secret settings >> disable Tab Manager Enhancements
Edit: Same steps work in forks like Ironfox

You're amazing!! Quick and easy fix

Thank goodness, the new UI is super laggy and unoptimized for large numbers if tabs and it was stuttering every time I opened it.

They don't follow "prefers reduced motion" either in the new design.

Holy fuck that works, thank you so much

You don't happen know how to disable the new "+" button in toolbar that opens new tab?
Sprinks@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 180d
Same steps but disable Composable Toolbar.
Edit: It might be a different setting, but its for sure one of the setting options in that secret setting menu

It was Composable Toolbar, you are a beast

I wasn't looking to revert the tab view, but still, I learned something new today and that matters. Thank you.

That is amazing. Thanks for the tip! I hated the new tabs design.

You're a hero.

On the same topic, can someone tell Mozilla what "edge to edge" is

I feel like I'm the only one who likes this new design now

It's always the same story with UX change. Everyone hates it, barely anyone is able to look past the period of getting used to it.
The number of people who actually run Pale Moon on Windows XP themed machines today, is extremely limited. Back in the day, people were furious about Australia.

I'm fine with UI changes in general, but this has genuine issues

You're not, I like it too.
The aspect ratio of the thumbnails is closer to the aspect ratio of the screen, which makes sense to me.
Also until you reopen each tab, you don't get a mini screenshot of it. I like the mini screenshots so I can see what the page was without having to read its title.
UnfairUtan@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 180d
Exactly!
GoldenDeLorean@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 181d
Mine looks like this after the update.
jdr@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 181d
I have the same and also hate it
XLE@piefed.social · 3 pts · 181d
Are you using some kind of custom DPI hack? Otherwise, it sounds like Mozilla introduced a new bug while working on Firefox... Not great, but at least then it wasn't intentional.
gedaliyah@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 181d
Huh, I have the new menus but not new tabs. Maybe this is some kind of a/b testing?
BruisedMoose@piefed.social · 5 pts · 180d
I'm using Fennec and while I don't totally HATE the new UI, it will take so e getting used to.
BUT ... that's really hard to do when it seems to be switching back and forth between the two randomly.
BallShapedMan@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 181d
Probably not what you are looking for, but switch to Waterfox.
real_squids@sopuli.xyz · 3 pts · 181d
Yeah they got the old List and Grid style menu
JayGray91@piefed.social · 2 pts · 180d
And if anyone using waterfox likes the new change, they hid it in the secret settings.
Just look for a couple comments here or web search how to activate it.

Settings -> Tabs -> List
Or something like that
Sprinks@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 181d
Settings >> about firefox >> tap the logo 5 times to unlock advanced settings >> go back to settings >> secret settings >> disable Tab Manager Enhancements
irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 6 pts · 181d
That changes them to this:
Which isn't much better

I actually like the list view, it's very functional though I still haven't gotten used to the new three dots menu
TheFlopster@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 181d
I also switched to List view because the new tabs took up so much visual space.
JoshuaFalken@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 181d
Turning off automatic updates was a good decision. I agree, why would anyone want to see less tabs on the selector screen.
albbi@piefed.ca · 3 pts · 181d
I've been using Waterfox on mobile and really enjoying the tabs style. Easy drop in replacement for Firefox and works with Mozilla sync.
