I settled with the default Firefox UI. After a few years ob absolutely weird decisions the UI doesn’t really suck that much anymore. Except with the recent update the extremely rounded corners were introduced which are looking absolutely ugly.

The tabs look more like pills now.

Maybe it’s time to whip out the userChrome.css again.

Urg...I hate that.

For anyone that needs it -

  • Enter about:config in the address bar.
  • Accept the warning.
  • Search for browser.nova.enabled.
  • Set it to false.

Love you man... err... carrot? I mean, people like you make the World better place. When it was released, i could not find a fix for this. And now, BAM, out of nowhere, solution came when I was doom scrolling on toilet. Again, love you!

I love you too, citizen.

Thanks, that’s great! Much better! Let’s hope this option will be available for a long time.

... disable auto-updates. You're gonna have a better time.

Who updates their software by not using the system’s package manager? This is madness!

(Yes, I understand the idea, but not updating is just not an option.)

Madness?

THIS. IS. WINDOWS!!! kicks into pit

(so, no update IS update)

Yea I'm sure it will be around forever like the other killer features that Firefox have had over the years and not punted to an extension for the community to maintain. (I still use panorama!)

[–] Gumus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Omg do you have a working panorama addon that doesn't hog CPU like crazy? Please share, I've been looking for it for years. I've tried all the addons I could find but they either didn't work as the original panorama or had an unacceptable CPU overhead.

I've never checked CPU tbh, but I use "totally not panorama."
