Please give us a permanent option to disable the rounded tabs in Firefox 157.
The new Nova tab design is visually distracting, wastes space, and is simply worse for users who prefer the clean, rectangular tabs Firefox had before. I should not have to dig into about:config or maintain a custom userChrome.css just to get a basic interface choice back.
If Mozilla wants rounded tabs as the default, fine. Give users a setting to turn them off permanently.
Firefox has always been about giving users control. Please apply that principle to the UI too.
Please note UI changes just stop with that Firefox looked fine. Focus on just making the brower faster.
Also stop with the **bleep** rounded everything. I really hate it or at least give me an option to shut it off and not deal with your oh this UI looks cool stuff.

I agree, I find the rounded tabs too finicky. A lot of the design changes in this update are very strange. I've always liked that firefox didn't look exactly like chrome, edge, and all the other hyper-modern garbage browsers.

I’ve been a Firefox user since the very first version; if the rectangular tabs don’t come back, I don’t plan to keep using it.
It is one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen in interface design.
