Just forced to upgrade #Firefox, greeted with a new design. An arrogant UX team has totally eliminated the subtle semantic link of a tab to its referent that indicates layering.

What a bunch of doofuses, but then again the Firefox โdesignโ team has been for years.
All of this is in an effort to eventually remove tabs. This proceeds by, first, by making them more difficult to use. Then, Mozilla will claim โno one uses tabs.โ Last, removal and moving to something more advertising-optimized.
