I find the new UI to be far worse; luckily there are (for now, but it only needs to stick around long enough for a UI replacement add-on to be developed) about:config options you can use to disable the new UI (that is, set the following to false: browser.proton.enabled, browser.proton.modals.enabled, browser.proton.doorhangers.enabled, and browser.proton.contextmenus.enable). It seems the FF devs are following "cargo cult" development, blindly imitating the Chrome UI without seeming to understand that Google's monopolistic practices that allows them to force Chrome on people rather than because Chrome is fundamentally good or user-friendly. Given Firefox has such small (~3.36%) market share, they should probably focus on avoiding alienating the user base they have.

  The tabs icon seems narrower, such that it is now impossible to read more than 4 letters of the title. I don't remember how many letters where visible before but it feels a little bit harder to find the correct tab again if I switch away.

  They changed the order of the burger menu and removed the icons. Something that could immediately be used to find things like settings. Now i have to read the entire thing to know where to go. The menu is redone to be larger, and not follow theming rules. I'm ok with the new changes, but the removal of icons and rejigging the order seems to be the antithesis of human centered design.

  They also seem to have removed the option to hide toolbars in fullscreen mode.

  No separation between tabs and they keep hiding useful context menu items [0]. [0] As an example: 1) close tabs to the right/left and - are now hidden under menus 2) show image on current page was removed - only allowed to show image on a new tab (which the mouse middle button already used to do)
