Firefox 157 - how do I switch off the fading of colour

Toad-Hall

Firefox 157.0 has suddenly changed the entire window including menu bar, tabs and the general window area. It is fading the colour from left to right. Suddenly I'm dark grey on the left, but it's got a weird burnt orange fading on the right. I tried the Customise and it has themes and now I'm stuck with it fading from right to left. black to grey. I looked at all the themes section in Customise, but it offers absolutely nothing suitable. It looks like something is going wrong but it's only effecting Firefox.

Can anyone offer advise on how to reset to all one colour, no fading. Windows apps set to dark theme. It seems to ignored.

Any help is welcome.

I found another person with same issue They also needed to remove the theme and also get rid of the round pill like lozenge shape of tabs.

They had mentioned the following to help fix appearance. Remove fading - remove pill tabs - get back to reasonable appearance.

In Firefox browser: In address bar type: about:config Search for this setting "browser.nova.enabled" use the toggle set to false.
