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(>

As long as all that widget garbage and the icons for supposedly
important webpages can be ejected with a blank homepage...

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.

I hope the new design, when finalized,
would not hurt my userChrome.css. :)

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.

As Harold said in a different context in /The Boys in the Band/, it 
can be as few as none, if you know how to work it.

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.)

So far, the only one I've seen that comes close to that is Vivaldi.

Yeah, that's what I mainly was referring to in the OP, having to deal
with multiple new extension incompatibilities.

As I watch the video here:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMtzH3uLpkc

I again hear nonsense like this "cleaner, softer, and more customizable
feel" mantra. The focus seems to be on looks, not functionality. So yet
again, more advanced users will need to hack using userchrome.css
tweaks. And yet again, doing so will only be the beginning of yet
another chess game with the devs.
