Take the opportunity of the Nova redesign 🚀 to introduce a "corner rounding" feature!

I learned that the Firefox team is working on a UI refresh, called Nova.

Personally, I like it. Nova looks fresh and interesting!
But Nova also introduces way more rounded interface elements (address bar, input fields, tabs, shortcuts ...). Some users simply hate rounded elements, especially rounded tabs. Others love them.

Team "round" 🟢

So why not introduce a feature to decide for the roundness of the interface elements yourself? The default can be rounded, but users that don't like this are able to change just one setting to make the design more rectangular. And yes, this could probably be changed using a custom CSS stylesheet (userchrome.css), but not every user has the technical skills to make these changes. 

Vivaldi already has this setting. You can decide which border radius should be applied to buttons, frames, tabs and other elements.

Dear Firefox team, what scenario do you like the most?

1. Nova is launched, but people 😮 keep nagging 😩about the rounded tabs and buttons while it actually is a really nice UX redesign?
2. Nova is launched, people love it 🧡 and other users tell each other ➡️ "hey, if you don't like rounded tabs, just change is one setting that was introduced with Nova!". After the much beloved "AI kill switch", this new setting once again provide choice to Firefox users and puts Firefox on par with Vivaldi in this respect. 

I've added a screenshot of the "corner rounding" setting in Vivaldi. Seems like a fairly simple addition to Firefox settings and an opportunity to make the launch of Nova even better 🚀!

You get prople feedback here already. Why need a microphone to share a feedback.

Heavily agree. So much so, that I finally made an account to put my 2 cents in. I also think this would just be a cool thing to advertise if you're trying to be trendy, Mozilla.
