I just updated to Firefox Version 157.0 and set up vertical tabs on the left side and love it. I also have "Hide tabs and sidebar" clicked which I assumed would hike the sidebar until I moved my cursor to the left. That doesn't happen. The icons for the various tabs remain displayed. Am I wrong to assume that this setting means the sidebar will be hidden until the cursor is moved to this area?

Thanks for your input.

I cannot seem to revert the changes done to the Firefox User Interface completely. I have set browser.nova.enabled to false, which reverted some changes, but the address bar and the bar of which the websites are (which I do not know the technical name of) are still "squished". Is there a way to fix this? Thank you for your time, -Sargent Venipede

The new, awkwardly rounded tabs are just awful, and on top of that, you can’t change them anymore. Please bring back the old MINIMALISTIC and STRAIGHTFORWARD look of the tabs, I’m begging you. I used Firefox only because of its minimalist style. Why are they forcing this incomprehensible THING on me without the option to choose the visual style myself?(((

Is there a setting I may change to allow the tab icons / text to fully display down into the blank space that shows on my tab bar? I will attach an image. Thank you.

Had to reinstall Firefox on laptop & now Home Button is missing from menu bar (or bookmarks toolbar - I'm not sure which). Everything else is back to way it was (bookmarks, extensions etc.) So, I found & followed steps to drag & drop it but it ALSO is missing from customize toolbar page. On my desktop using same Firefox account Home Button IS displaying where it always has been. Is there a way to CREATE a "new" Home Button to drag & drop?

Hello,

I am an avid user of Firefox and I find the new UI change to the border radius of the new tabs annoying. I have already tried themes which appeared to have the old square-with-rounded-corner style tabs but the themes does not seem to work. The nwe UI looks like there is so much free space in between the tabs and it feels genuinely aggrevating to use.

I would be thoroughly disappointed if I cannot daily-drive a browser with a consistent UI/UX while having the latest features and security updates. Please allow users to customize the tabs' border radii such that we won't have to deal with sudden UX changes like this.

Thank you,

Hello. I have had a lavender color on the upperband for two days and i can't seem to remove it for a neutral color like before. Do you have the trick  ? Thank you in advance for your help. Jean-Marc

Today, October 1st, Firefox was updated on my computer, and I really don’t like the new design. The upper part of the browser is now much brighter and draws too much attention. The tabs also have a more rounded shape. I personally preferred the previous design, where the tabs were rectangular with slightly rounded corners - it looked cleaner and matched the rest of the browser better. I also don’t understand why the active tab is now highlighted so strongly. Previously, the active tab was simply a little lighter than the inactive ones, which felt much more subtle and comfortable. Is there a way to restore the previous design completely - with the gray upper browser area, the previous tab shape, and a less prominent active-tab highlight?

Thanks!

With an update to version 157.0, firefox seems to have introduced more sidebar settings. One of the features introduced is also a "Hide sidebar" button in the top left of the screen, right next to the go one page back/forward buttons. This is throwing off my muscle memory and I know that I will not be needing it so I am wondering if there is some way to get rid of it.

Is there any way to revert to the old Firefox style before the update to 157.0 without downgrading? Bit too round for my taste and it's not as easy to recognise favicons, read tab names, and read bookmarks with the weird colour gradient in the background

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.

Hi how can I change my browser back to how it was before the update this morning? A page came up which said something about an update but I accidentally clicked off it and I'm not sure if I picked an option to change the buttons but now they're all circular and and it's hard to see what I'm selecting because of the colors and it's hard to read the names of the tabs now they're very short only the first word or part of it. How can I change it back please?

Thank you for your time,

Linda

Hi,

I have deleted this question since after posting I realised it is probably a question for the tree style tab developer, not Firefox.

Unfortunately I cannot delete the post itself so have removed the text... please ignore this.

Hello everyone.

Firefox updated today. I don't know—maybe some people like the new design of the tabs, the buttons in the drop-down menus, and the gradient borders around the active tab and the tab bar itself. But I’d like to revert to the old interface. How can I do that?

Thanks!

After update, perhaps, my Firefox appearance changed significally. It has smaller, rounded tabs and buttons. I find this change unwanted, untriggered and most of all, heavily unwelcome.

Please help mi with reverting Firefox back to how it looked and forbiding it change at next updae.

Thank you very much.

I have the appearance setting set to dark. I have a dozen themes with the dark option selected, but every web page is white with black text. What gives?? Windows 11, Firefox 157.0 (the new, ugly version)
