I like to bash Mozillas new direction, and I was fully prepared to jump on the UI refresh hate bandwagon. But I don't know why I hardly noticed a difference. I mean sure it does look like a button, and I don't really get the point of it, but the thing I was worried about was the increased screen estate. Maybe it's because of my gtk theme, maybe it's related to fixes in hidpi UI scaling, but it actually seems to use less screen estate to me. Am I crazy? Or are there other people that feel like its using less screen estate?

They fixed some things partway through the process with the compact theme - the address bar is now shorter while the tabs + their padding is taller than the tabs in old compact mode. I haven't done a side by side but I think compact -> compact ends up being a wash in vertical real estate. There were some older images where new compact was taller than old normal and new normal was taller than old touch when it was in firefox beta however.
