the new layout caused pinned tabs to go behind the 1st tab making them inaccessible
When I reopened Firefox after the new update, I noticed my pinned tabs were behind the 1st tab stacked on top of each other. I finally got all of them closed but when I repin them, it's the same issue, they just stack behind the 1st tab and it's very challenging to access them.

Ah - we were typing at the same time! I'm glad it's working now. :)

Thanks Verdi! Attached you can see the little Gmail icon tab behind my open Ask Liz tab. And although you can see it, it's not clickable.
Ok - it looks like you are using an add-on that changes the shape of the tabs. My guess is that this is causing the issue. The add-on author probably hasn't updated the add-on to take the new tabs into account. My suggestion would be to disable the add-on for now. You might also look for another add-on that provides features similar to the one you have now.
If you need them, instructions for disabling add-ons are here.
Hmm, I swear it was a new feature in a past firefox update and I even searched my addons and don't see anything related. I just right click the tab and it's an option. I did find an addon called pin/unpin and installed it to see but it does the same thing. Well hopefully it'll resolve in the future. Thanks!
Well guess what?! I uninstalled the addon "colorful tabs" as it wasn't working well w/the new layout and now I can pin tabs again! Phew :)
The tabs in your Firefox don't look like anything that is possible without an add-on or some modified hidden preference (so I don't think it will resolve in the future). Since it looks like you are using a number of other add-ons I would recommend trying to troubleshoot the issue by using safe mode. Instructions for that are in this article: Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode
