I have a pretty customized userChrome.css as the main feature I use in Firefox is multi-row tabs. This used to be provided by a XUL extension but now it possible in a somewhat less fantastic way with userChrome.css. The problem is that every major UI change breaks the userChrome.css and I have to spend a while tweaking it or waiting for someone else to design it up. It's frustrating. Since I knew this update was coming I disabled automatic updates for the first time ever. It might be a while before I decide to upgrade.

It sounds like you should be using the ESR releases?

  Especially since there are some potential RCEs in Firefox 88 as far as I can remember. ESR is definitely a safer option.

You know "Simple Tab Groups"? It's far better that having multiple rows of tabs.

  It doesn't fit my workflow. I open almost every link in a new tab and if I'm doing research that can be a lot of tabs. I don't want to spend any time organizing these temporary tabs; I just want a way to quickly see and move between them. If you use a lot of tabs in most browsers, the tabs end up being just tiny icon-sized. That's no good. I also don't want to go through another layer to find them.

    Before switching to Tree Style Tab extension I was quite happy with customizations from https://github.com/Izheil/Quantum-Nox-Firefox-Dark-Full-Theme https://github.com/Izheil/Quantum-Nox-Firefox-Dark-Full-Them... - they use Firefox beta to adjust css so once new Firefox version is released everything is ready from the get-go.

    I do the same thing (and by default each new tab opens in a new temporary container). I use Tree Style Tabs to be able to organize them. It's particularly nice with a wide-screen monitor, since vertical space is at a premium but there's extra horizontal space. It just makes more sense to use that for the tab bar. I do have userChrome.css to hide the main tab bar though.
