I remember seeing a lot of complaining about the tabs in the last release thread but they dont seem to bother me at all. What is the issue with the new tabs?

They bothered me greatly on the first day. To the point where I started messing around with userChrome.css to change them back. I was fine the second day. I think it was just a case of someone moving my cheese unexpectedly.

Personally, very very personally, I don't like the look, I prefer all my apps to be themed by the OS and to use the underlying widgets. That's not how FF is built though but that's okay since when they do bring change like that I still can user userchrome (I still can user userChrome, right ?) /meme.

IMHO, they're pretty, but waste quite some space for no gain apart prettinnes.

  There is a petition on the Mozilla Ideas forum to retain the "Compact" interface option, which would conserve space in the tab bar: https://mozilla.crowdicity.com/post/719764 https://mozilla.crowdicity.com/post/719764

The missing partition between tabs irritates me greatly. Especially as the label of the tab fades out to the right, there is no indication for the exact x-space taken up by a tab. The only fixed thing is the favicon. Furthermore, the fading out of the text is greatly irritating me. My vision is the best and I constantly try to focus on those parts but they are not out of focus, but faded out. Just a vertical separator of some sorts would help with visibility in my eyes (literally! :p)

  The missing partition made it nearly unusable for me as well. Thankfully, I eventually found a solution at https://www.userchrome.org/firefox-89-styling-proton-ui.html; https://www.userchrome.org/firefox-89-styling-proton-ui.html... since then I’ve had no problems.

What was wrong with the old ones?

The issue with the new tabs is that they are not tabs, they are buttons.
