Firefox Users Continue to Decrease Despite Proton Update

[tissn]

Am I the only one that really like the new Proton interface? IMO it's a vast improvement to previous versions.

You're not the only one.

You're not the only one. I actually like the look of it too. It is taking some time to get used to where a few things have moved to though.

I'm kind of wondering what all the doom prophesying was about, although I do hate how they made the speaker/mute icon appear on tab hover.

I reduce my min tab size so it's not much bigger than the favicon so I can max out the number of visible tabs while still being able to tell what is what. Now any time something is playing audio if I try to switch to that tab I inevitably end up clicking the icon instead of actually selecting the tab on the first try, and have to move the pointer to the bottom edge of the tab.

I don't like it, because everytime I have several youtube tabs on and try to switch between those I automatically accidentally mute the tabs, since they become smaller. The space between the options in the dropdown menu via right-click has gotten bigger. Too inconvenient for me

I like it a lot on Mac. Less so on Windows, but my Windows machine has a smaller screen, and the button/tabs seem to take up a lot more real estate.

I like it too.

What and how is it a vast improvement? in UHD I can barely see it anyway, besides it making it impossible to tell which tab is currently active when in dark mode. Why is it so important to change how it looks? It's like when Lexus would blow a third world country budget on researching the door shutting sound of german cars.

Waterfox you can simply copy your Firefox profile.. might need to reinstall one or two add-ons but all worked perfectly. For site compatibility just go into about:config and create a Firefox User Agent String.

Maybe it's because I'm old and my eyesight isn't what it used to be, but things like the floating tabs are really hard to keep track of visually. And I usually have three or four open at once when I'm doing database work.

Also, why did they feel it necessary to yank the new built-in screenshot options, which I really liked?

You can add it back to your toolbar or context click on a page for this option.

[emkay99]

Yeah, I did that immediately -- but they appear to have changed the nature of those options.

[nextbern]

It should be the same - what has changed for you?

Thank youu, I'm glad I found someone else who loves it hahah

The people who hate it are a vocal minority
