    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

      Thanks for the config. To their credit the UI change is instant. I double clicked a few times to find out why the old UI looks better.

      The old UI has less visual noise (at least dark mode on Windows). The new theme has random highlights and high-contrast lines everywhere that draw attention to the browser UI. I want the browser to fade into the background not stand out.

        You can remove the brightly colored (at least in dark mode) lines above every tab in your userChrome.css with:

        ``` .tab-context-line { display: none; } ```
