How to revert to previous UI?

Ok this latest UI appearance change is absolute dog feces. I hate it so much! It's so ugly! How do I change it back? I did not consent for my eyeballs to be assaulted like this. Did I mention it sucks? How do I change it back? 157.0.0.11

Yes, with every update Mozilla takes away a reason to use and to like Firefox. What is wrong with them? This UI update is absolute dog feces indeed. I managed to get rid of the puke gradient (who the hell though that was a good idea???) by installing a different theme and I shouldn't be installing third party themes for something like this. Now, I want to get rid of the rounded tabs.

I already have to use Chrome for some sites that don't work with Firefox and I don't need a lot to switch permanently and this garbage UI may just be the last straw. If I have to deal with garbage UI I might as well switch to Chrome, at least all websites work with it.

Please bring the option to revert to the old UI.

Web-address bar -> about:config -> ENTER -> search for nova -> double-click the line "browser.nova.enabled" -> "true" should change to "false" Anything else that says nova can be changed to false as well.

Thank you!!!!!

They need to add this prominently to the main Appearance setting unless their goal is to alienate more users.

PS. Apparently, these about.config settings may be removed in the future. WTF Mozilla? Options is why people use Firefox. If you take away options there will be little reasons to stick to FF. As a FF user for over two decades your recent shortsightedness and various shenanigans makes me angry and sad.
