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
Holy fuck that works, thank you so much
I wasn't looking to revert the tab view, but still, I learned something new today and that matters. Thank you.
You don't happen know how to disable the new "+" button in toolbar that opens new tab?
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

It was Composable Toolbar, you are a beast
You are the MVP!
You're a hero.
That is amazing. Thanks for the tip! I hated the new tabs design.
On the same topic, can someone tell Mozilla what "edge to edge" is
Mine looks like this after the update.
Are you using some kind of custom DPI hack? Otherwise, it sounds like Mozilla introduced a new bug while working on Firefox... Not great, but at least then it wasn't intentional.
Huh, I have the new menus but not new tabs. Maybe this is some kind of a/b testing?
I feel like I'm the only one who likes this new design now
You're not, I like it too.
The aspect ratio of the thumbnails is closer to the aspect ratio of the screen, which makes sense to me.
Also until you reopen each tab, you don't get a mini screenshot of it. I like the mini screenshots so I can see what the page was without having to read its title.
Exactly!
Settings -> Tabs -> List
Or something like that
Settings >> about firefox >> tap the logo 5 times to unlock advanced settings >> go back to settings >> secret settings >> disable Tab Manager Enhancements
That changes them to this:
Which isn't much better
I actually like the list view, it's very functional though I still haven't gotten used to the new three dots menu
I also switched to List view because the new tabs took up so much visual space.
I'm using Fennec and while I don't totally HATE the new UI, it will take so e getting used to.
BUT ... that's really hard to do when it seems to be switching back and forth between the two randomly.
Probably not what you are looking for, but switch to Waterfox.
Yeah they got the old List and Grid style menu
And if anyone using waterfox likes the new change, they hid it in the secret settings.
Just look for a couple comments here or web search how to activate it.
I've been using Waterfox on mobile and really enjoying the tabs style. Easy drop in replacement for Firefox and works with Mozilla sync.
Turning off automatic updates was a good decision. I agree, why would anyone want to see less tabs on the selector screen.
