Hi,

We bring a modernized and differentiated look to tabs since Firefox 89 in order to create a signature Firefox look and experience. This major redesign will help us enable more use cases and features in the future.

Before this, tabs were clearly separated and were directly connected to the rest of the browser UI, while also using much less space & padding. It was one of the major enshittification updates for Firefox and to this day they have not given us any of those mentioned "use cases and features" that would make use of this redesign.

That's not what that term means. That term specifically and explicitly means "making a service worse for the user in order to wring more money out of it." It doesn't mean "feature or design change I didn't like."
