Hi, I just installed the newest version of firefox and I really do not like the new tab design or general appearance of the browser when highlighting items. I wonder if it is possible to remove these visual changes and restore the previous version's appearance.

Hi,

We appreciate your feedback on the recently redesigned Firefox browser.

We set out in 2021 to reimagine Firefox's design to be fast, modern and inviting. With the latest 89 release, we’re bringing you a modern new look designed to streamline and calm things down so you have a fresh new web experience every time you use Firefox.

Is there anything in particular that you would like to see improved or fixed?

@seburo yes, in particular I really do not like the 'separated' view of tabs and how much larger they are. It seems like they have more touch screen support, and the default scrollbar is now one that fits with Windows 10. As a windows 7 user it looks really chunky and horrible if I'm honest! I work in computer science so I understand that changes have to be made to fit the majority, but I would really appreciate an option to just enable certain visual differences.

I have been a proud Firefox advocate for years and this won't turn me away but this update's visual improvements and changes just do not fit with my existing system theme. I am not a fan of the modern look basically ;)

The main thing for me is the larger tabs, they just look really bulky rather than streamlined like the older square ones. It wouldn't be so bad if the height of the tabs was reduced, but the padding seems to be really high.
