I absolutely hate the redesign, having the new tab button in the middle makes no sense, the corner is way easier to tap, having the individual tabs be taller makes them take up more space while looking worse and the tab selector takes up the whole screen, so I can't see the tab I was on.

For context, this is what it was like before:

Settings >> about firefox >> tap the logo 5 times to unlock advanced settings >> go back to settings >> secret settings >> disable Tab Manager Enhancements

Edit: Same steps work in forks like Ironfox

You're amazing!! Quick and easy fix

Thank goodness, the new UI is super laggy and unoptimized for large numbers if tabs and it was stuttering every time I opened it.

They don't follow "prefers reduced motion" either in the new design.

You don't happen know how to disable the new "+" button in toolbar that opens new tab?

[-] Sprinks@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Same steps but disable Composable Toolbar.

Edit: It might be a different setting, but its for sure one of the setting options in that secret setting menu

You are the MVP!

It was Composable Toolbar, you are a beast

I wasn't looking to revert the tab view, but still, I learned something new today and that matters. Thank you.

You're a hero.

That is amazing. Thanks for the tip! I hated the new tabs design.
