I really hate how the tabs look now. I was on a very classic title bar + menu bar + tabs bar, with lots of tabs. Now, before they were gray, with nice borders and clearly delimitated. Now they're bigger, whiter, much uglyer, shorter on the horizontal scale, things like the playing audio tab is now a stupid text which doesn't even fit, while before it was an instantly recognizable icon.
So in the end the whole bar is much uglier, I have less information and it's harder to find stuff in it. Like actually seeing which tab is playing audio when another tab is opened and the whole tab shifts and I have to go back to the tab with the video. I have 0 (read: ZERO) benefits from this change and only headaches. Not huge ones, in the end I can live with it, but the fact that it's all for absolutely nothing makes it 10 times worse.
Instead of useless changes, how about separate stop and reload buttons in the address bar that we had before Firefox ?? How about allowing to customize the address bar so things like "bookmark page" and "Reader view" can be taken out and maybe back, forward, stop, reload and home can be added in ? I know, I might be able to change some with themes. I didn't bother.
