NOW what. What kind of redesign are they talking about and how many hours will I wind up having to invest in order to come up with kludges and workarounds so that I can continue to use Firefox? >80(> -- John C. I filter crossposts, various trolls & dizum.com. Doing this makes this newsgroup easier to read & more on-topic. Take back the tech companies from India & industry from China.

F**king round corners on everything!!!! It's not Android Google messages, no bubbles please!
And I've had tinted the border in the URL since v70 with CSS. Hell it's about time they
did some accents.
More work that is diverted from fixing things.

You never did provide an answer to my question back on 20 June about ability to change themes from the small selection built into Ffox 152. Does your highly-coloured screen remain after switching to a plain light or dark theme? Your experience at the time described Alpenglow, which had been added as a stock theme -- it can be disabled but not removed.

This is what is weird. I can change on theme page and the theme page changes to dark or light but when I go to the startup page it is still Aplenglow. So it changes other pages but not the startup. Maybe I am missing a setting somewhere. -- <Bill> Brought to you from Anchorage, Alaska

By which I mean -- no one is forcing you to use Firefox. The devs have proved over a span of years that what users want is not a consideration. Maybe this "redesign" will prompt you to choose a different primary browser. (Yes, I still have Firefox installed, but it has not been my primary browser for a couple of years now. For me the turning point was yet another change that broke extensions I relied on and used regularly.) -- Trolls wouldn't be trolling if nobody would take the flamebait.
