Mozilla has embarked on yet another redesign for Firefox, codenamed "Nova," and here is your first look at what it could look like when it releases.

I hope it’s just a joke

    It looks fine, I guess…? Then again, I thought the old design was fine as it was…

    For the love of Odin can I please get a title and menu bar.

    When you have tabs across the screen where would you click and hold to drag the window?

      I didn’t know people actually liked title bars eating up a window’s vertical space.
      Firefox specifically adds a bit of padding either side of said tabs in non-maximised windows.

      1. Open the page “about:config” in your address bar.
      2. Search for “browser.tabs.inTitlebar”.
      3. Set it to “0”.

    the old one is fine

    i don’t think the ui is your main problem, mozilla, but ok i guess.

    No thank you. I like Firefox the way it is. I hate big changes for the sake of designers keeping their jobs changing my tools and workflow and making things ugly.

    I really like it, I feel like it fixes some of the issues with groups and tabs looking a bit weird currently. Lol, I always like Firefox redesigns and really cannot understand how people go apeshit when that happens. I swear some people would use NetScape GUI if they could.

      While I agree overall it looks nice, I hate gaps and rounded corners. I’m sick of wasted space. And I’m sick of rounded corners.

      I swear some people would use NetScape GUI if they could.

      Now that would actually be nice!!

        i think the space is the same but its just camouflaged to look like it’s wasted, maybe we should count the pixels tho

          I don’t think pixel count would be a fair comparison for a 30 year old browser. You used to actually be able to count all the pixels back then.

      Mostly we want them to make the browser itself not suck before worrying about cosmetics.

    Ultimately I just need Firefox to always support about:config, manifest v2 compatibility, and userChrome.css and userContent.css.

    That said, usually changes like these break my extremely minimal redesign and configs I have on my desktop. So… boo, Mozilla, boo…

      userContent.css is absolutely essential for me. I use that to limit the size of images on Thunderbird.

      Isn’t userchrome.cc already deprecated for quite some time?

        It’d be news to me, I’ve used the same userChrome.css and userContent.css for years now and I keep my Gentoo Linux desktop up to date with weekly updates, so the Firefox I’m using is confirmed to be the latest version.

        Additionally, a quick search on ddg reveals no recent mentions nor plans for deprecation of the feature as far as I can tell.

    I’m thoroughly convinced UI designers are under the impression we cut ourselves on sharp corners.

    I like this a lot! However I hope they keep the userChrome function because as nice as it is I’m going to keep my LibAdwaita skin anyways.

    Old Firefox looked perfectly fine. I don’t know why they keep wasting so many resources on changing something that already worked.

    There is way too much white-space in this design. I’m tired of getting higher resolution displays only to lose that resolution to applications that get chunkier.

    The mobile client and fork I use both have that design language now. It’s a little cutesy for me and I dislike having to click twice to get the full menu but otherwise no complaints.
