Why did you make Firefox so freaking ugly with this update?

Wow, did this new update make Firefox hideous to look at. I came to your forum hoping to change the appearance, but going to "Preferences" only allows me to change the color or font, when what I'd love to get rid of is the boxy-looking tabs and the weird menus. I really don't understand why your designers chose this look--it's awful. It's looks like some kind of 1980s retro computer trash. Thanks a lot; when I go blind, I'll know who to blame.

Have to agree, don't care for the appearance, nor the seemingly lack of customization and extended list of very popular addons that are now gone.

We don't understand, if Mozilla knew many of the most popular addons would not work from outside this terrible (possibly Firefox ending) update, why didn't they at least design them inside as part of the browser? 57 has made Firefox basically disfunctional for many, not many folks happy at all with this. We returned to 56 ourselves until this thing works again, which appears, may be a long time coming - maybe Brave will be ready before then.

If you want help dealing with the changes to Firefox - just ask for help.

If you just want to commiserate your misery, take it elsewhere. https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback Let Mozilla know how you feel.
