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

Firefucked again monke-beepboop why do tech companies do this shit?

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

every single UI change after firefox 4, which was peak and is my forever beloved, has been abysmal and totally unnecessary

lately i've just use that new experimental multi-process basilisk branch with classic theme restorer to bring back the pre-australis UI. it's not slow as shit like pale moon (which has the actual firefox 4 UI) on account of it being multi-process, and i can customize it infinitely without it fuckin' changing on me for no reason

the downside(?) is some mainstream chrome-oriented websites just don't work at all but those websites are usually shit anyway so idrgaf
