v157.0

The new update changed the Dark Mode Theme to include a color gradient on the tab row. This is quite distracting an I would like to know how to revert back to the plain, non color gradient Dark Mode Theme prior to the update.

Note to firefox I.T. - I am not going to waste anymore time trying to get all this purple that was version 157 update. Get rid of the purple soon or I'll uninstall firefox. Microsoft Edhe is already on the computer and is raring to go.

No responses need for this post.

Hi, recently there was an update that made the tabs and what not just look awful. Making everything "rounded" and I don't like that one bit. How do I reverse this to have square layout again?

I provide a picture on how it looks now...

Hello! Since the latest update to Firefox (153, I believe) my Firefox has not worked. It starts up perfectly fine, but quickly freezes, becomes non-responsive, and needs to be closed. No matter how many times I attempt to open it, the same thing occurs. There’s been been occasions where it hasn’t frozen immediately so I have been able to turn off hardware acceleration as well as remove my theme and disable all my add-ons/extensions, but this has done nothing. Creating a new profile does not help, nor does trying Safe Mode: the same thing happens no matter what. I tried to reinstall the update, but this also did nothing. I haven’t yet tried to uninstall & reinstall or do a Firefox refresh as those are my last resorts and I won’t do them unless I’m sure they’ll make a difference. I haven’t downloaded any new extensions recently, and this only started happening after the most recent update. I’m not sure what else I can try at this point, and am very frustrated.

How do i revert the new graphical interface? I do not like the new rounded corners and the new themes that are shoved down our throat.

Why does mozilla like to do this to us ?

I had to find and download firefox 156. BUT Because 157 already installed itself in the bg, it also updated the user PROFILE which OFCOURSE it is not recognised by previous vers 156. Its corrupted by 157 and wont work with 156.

After 2 h of messing around with installs and profiles i COULDNT MAKE IT WORK. And now i have to watch this stupid UNPROFESIONAL GUI and i had to make an account on the forums to post this and try anbd find a way around and ofcourse i did because theres smarter ppl out there than those who work at mozilla. ( im reffering to the sollution with the browser.nova.disabled)

When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. I know this has been an ongoing issue, but it only happens with firefox on both my computers, vpn and all extensions off. Even tried a new IP address, same issue.

Hello. I really dislike the new appearance of firefox, from the rounded buttons/tabs to the color scheme being everywhere. Is there a way to revert to the previous appearance, or customize these things?

thank you in advance!

It would be greatly appreciated if the browser didn't update with adding a new default customization. If there's a way to revert back to the old browser, I would prefer that over the extra customization any day.

Since I updated to version 157.0, my YouTube is performing extremely slow. I haven's changed any settings since the update. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

So that I don't uninstall it right away, I need instructions on how to disable this extremely ugly color scheme and design. Does Firefox want to lose its last remaining users to Chrome, too?

Why would something like this be changed without my consent? That's probably the biggest insult I've ever experienced.

How can I reverse the recent visual update without going back to an older version of Firefox? I'll go back if I have to, but if it's not necessary, that would be nice.

The current version is styled with oval/circular shapes. I would like to keep the box-like shapes from before this update.

I absolutely hate the new chromelike tab and address bar shapes (rounded, smaller). Whole reason I'm here is because I despise chrome. Is there any way to revert them to be larger and rectangular again, either through an add-on or in settings?

I don't want rounded corners or two tone windows.

I wanted flat black and blocks like I had it. If i wanted a different appearance I would of set a different appearance.

I've use Firefox for almost 15 years. This will be the end.

Revert this update or I'm uninstalling :)

Using a different browser for now.

This is horsesh** and it looks like crap. To force it down the necks of your customers is a choice I guess.

I'm running Firefox 157.0 on MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2. The same lack of result occurs in all websites. I restarted the computer (several times), reinstalled Firefox, tested in troubleshoot mode, checked download settings, deleted history, blah, blah, blah. Nothing has worked, except to skip Save Image As... and switch to drag-and-drop.

Why would this suddenly happen after decades and thousands of successful uses of Save Image As...?

What other options do I have to restore Save Image As...?
