Firefox just rolled out a visual update "Nova". Here's how to roll it back. (slrpnk.net)

Not a fan of the new look. If you're in the same boat, plug:

about:config

into your URL bar, and search for:

browser.nova.enabled

Toggle it to false using the button to the right.

There are functional changes that Nova also introduced: this won't effect those - only the aesthetic.

For years Firefox was very stable, unchanging. Now after every update I have to figure out what to roll back. It's becoming less worth it.

Unfortunately that means I'm looking at LibreWolf or Brave.

Go with LibreWolf. Brave is a sketchy browser run by known bigot Brendan Eich, who supports hateful anti-LGBTQ causes. LibreWolf doesn't have any of the nonsense that normal FireFox keeps pushing on its users, it just works as a browser should with privacy-focused options enabled by default along with uBO.

LibreWolf is nice 👌

You can use Firefox ESR, the extended support release which receives security updates but doesn't receive feature updates or other major changes.

Damn, I can't believe 115 is still being maintained for 6 more months.

Librewolf is based on the main release of firefox, and will probably inherit all the UI changes as Mozilla releases them.
