I didn't think I would like the new tab layout but after using it for a few days, it doesn't bug me one bit and I think I may actually prefer it.
I don't know what theme the OP is using, but the default dark theme's active tab color is noticeably lighter than any other element in the chrome without any changes. EDIT: I see now. They're using one of the custom Firefox Color themes. I haven't really dug into those; usually the default dark theme is good enough for me.
It's easy to navigate, provides more information in some cases (I really like the second line of smaller text indicating things like a video playing or autoplay being blocked), and I don't feel like anything of value was lost, just reorganized a bit.
I also prefer the Container color bars at the top than at the bottom where they used to be as it gives them more prominence. The only thing I would probably change is I prefer the "+" button to be static on the right hand side. But that's minor and if I truly cared enough, probably super easy to fix in the userChrome.css.
Note: This is mostly on macOS, which is what I spend most of the day running at work. My experience on my Windows PC at home has been mostly the same, though.
