| Message-ID | <5d20103a9ednews@triffid.co.uk> |
So Firefox 157.0 is released... Updated and am NOT happy, what's with the round corners in the various windows/panes. I don't want rounded corners, I like square corners. Any known config to return to square corners? Thanks Dave Not forgetting the effing round corners on the main Fx window and the bookmarks pane are now occupying a few pixels of my Tabs below bar. Off to userChrome to tweak again... If I can remember what to tweak :-( D.

They were square in 156.0.1 from which I updated to 157.0 Since the update I've visited a number of sites, and as they are displayed within the Firefox main window it has rounded corners. I would have noticed before... As noted in my previous posting, the new roundy cornered windows take some of my Tab below pixels, cutting off the bottom of the tab. I've been to my userChrome file and tweaked a couple of setting to get the tabs fully displayed again. Dave

Since I'm not jumping on the upgrade, can you take a screenshot so we can see?

After changing the settings and closing and reopening Firefox, I have rectangles with rounded corners. It's better than the FF 157 default, which looks like a horse-race track, but it's not rectangles with 90° corners.. -- Trolls wouldn't be trolling if nobody would take the flamebait.

I just tried 157 in Linux.
I kinda like it. I've got that browser.nova.enabled to true.
Firefox now uses a lot of my desktop theme. Checkboxes are colored, buttons have a purple
border, active items are highlighted in purple etc. If I change to my Orange desktop
theme they show through too. I don't see that much in the rounded anything (except the
buttons are more rounded).

I don't know why FF and TB try to look different from native apps on any platform, surely they should just "blend right in"?

I > don't see that much in the rounded anything (except the buttons are more > rounded). I think the reason I don't like the tabs having all four corners rounded is because they're supposed to emulate the tabs on a file folder. When I look in my filing cabinet, I don't see any file folders with tabs that have four rounded corners and floating above the actual folders. As for the overall appearance and rounding the corners on other stuff like the address field, changes like this just for the sake of change are a waste of time IMO. Of course, YMMV. -- John C.
