Why is everything purple and my vertical tabs are oval, it genuinely looks like vibecoded slop nayuta-crayon

There was literally nothing wrong in the previous design that "Nova" fixed, it's either a side-grade or made worse. I guess liking legible interfaces is a crime prisoner-chained. You will learn to love gradients. charles-agony

Turn this shit off in about:config with browser.nova.enabled set to false.

Zen was cool until I tried to use multiple windows. It hates that even if you toggle the hidden setting to allow it. Tabs are always synced between windows but aggressively unloaded. Good luck trying to restore your previous windows after a shutdown.

I have 6 virtual screens that have browser windows open for different purposes and it obviously wasn't built for me.

Unfortunately that combined with the fact that Firefox is having more issues with sites and apps I use (videos not loading in Immich), I finally swapped to Helium browser and went to the chromium engine.

Yeah that seems like use-case it is failing to allow. But with the window sync, wouldn't have multiple windows open but every single one using a different workspace achieve the result you're seeking? Tho I guess it would be kind of shitty to have to manually open the multiple windows every time you open the browser.
