Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

The Mozilla designers are pandering to what the masses find familiar, so expect lots of inspiration from Chrome and iOS, for better or worse.
That said, I suspect that while grid is the default, list view will still be available for super users.
I'm just disappointed that there's no indication of tab groups in this preview.
It's just sad that Firefox is so insecure about being an individual and forward thinking in design. Not to mention the disrespect of the lifelong users who ask for cool features that would improve FF. Instead, they are so desperate to be Chrome. The end of Firefox will be Mozilla. Chrome users don't like you and FF users are ignored.
With all due respect, designers design, coders implement and managers make decisions.
The UI has needed a refresh for a while and as they've updated the UI to move away from legacy implementations, they're switching to newer and faster implementations that allow for features to be implemented. Prime example, before switching the tabs tray to compose, private tabs couldn't even be rearranged.
Everyone wants new features and thinks they just pop up out of nowhere and reality dictates that it's not that easy.
Currently they're in the middle of getting the new menu and toolbars to look and work correctly. Using a design that isn't available in Chrome.
I wish people would see a therapist about their Mozilla angst or at least get well enough informed to talk actual factual shit
