I've never used their actual project, but I really like the article they wrote covering Firefox UI changes over time (you can find it under the wiki pages of the repo) - https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/wiki/%5BArticle%5D-0.-Firefox-UI-UX-history https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix/wiki/%5BArticle%... Mozilla has made significant UI changes every 3-4 years, with the last one being in 2021. Perhaps we're about due to see another?

I hope not. UI fiddling is what you do when out of ideas. Mozzarella has so much potential I don't want to see it wasted (again).

  Were they out of ideas in 2011, 2014, 2017, 2021?

  In my experience, UI fiddling happens when the design team decides everything needs an overhaul, and the developers would rather fix bugs and add features. And I suspect designers like to redesign everything for the same reasons that developers prefer to implement new shiny features.

Photon my beloved. No redesign felt so "right" upon first sight before or after it. No excess padding, timeless colors. You can feel the seething rage of current Mozilla designers for us wanting to turn off "grandparent mode" esque proportions when you see that the "compact" density is the only one that says "not supported" next to it, meanwhile the even more hilariously oversized Touch setting is totally ok.

  One of the best parts of Floorp is being able to choose between all of these redesigns. Now if only 1Password would make it so they’re extension worked properly it.
