   The UI was tidy and nearly perfect, now it's all over the place: weird paddings, different border radiuses even within a single element, clashing background colors, and boy, do I love rainbow gradients everywhere.

   Update: for those unhappy with the changes, you can roll them back for now:

     about:config -> browser.nova.enabled -> false

      I cannot find a setting to disable the gradient. It's very annoying indeed.

         I just turned off auto-updates after reading this. Safe for now.

            Naive and outright dangerous advice, every release fixes important security issues.

               Then separate UI updates from security updates. No need for them to be bundled. Gradients and insane padding pushing people to not update make them inherently less secure!

                  It's possible to stick to an ESR release to avoid feature updates in the past, but recently, Mozilla has started bundling feature updates into bugfixes.

                  e.g. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.firefox.com&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;152.0.4&#x2F;releasenotes&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.firefox.com&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;152.0.4&#x2F;releasenotes&#x2F;
