I guess a me-too moment...
I'm not looking anywhere for rounded corners, or any other pointless frippery.
I really can't see the point of wasting coding time and energy for just
arty stuff. :-(
They'd be more useful getting to grips with coding stuff, like making Tab positioning configurable.
I hope we get advanced warning before this new interface excrement dropsWell, 155 seems to be a step in the direction of Nova because it has a
on us.
I changed my mind and decided to allow the update. It didn't
disable any of my extensions, so that's good. It left my tab bar's
position alone (I like mine right above the website content), so that
was also good.
However, it did round the corners of tabs and fields, but that wasn't as
big an issue as I expected.

Mozilla has "improved" containers, but that's a feature I findI'm using one browser for personal and work activities, containers are super-cool when you have to use different accounts on one site, for example, Github or gmail.

I expect that, as usual with a non-decimal update, there will be some
bugs that will be corrected in a decimal update. However, at this point
I haven't experienced any.

Also, firefox is the only mainstream browser that supports that, chromium-based ones using different concept with "users" which isn't
actually usable in real life.

I don't know what is in your userchrome file, but I have updated to 155,
and the userchrome file is doing what it was written to do. Principally,
my tabs are on the bottom associated with the url window.

I think knuttle was talking about getting rid of the rounded corners.
In the past, I actually liked rounded corners on the tabs. They really
didn't waste any space and in my mind, they looked like the tabs on
physical file folders.
However, with the new "Project Nova" UI changes, rounded corners will be
in a lot more places. Although that doesn't seem like a big deal to me,
I really don't see much to be gained by the devs doing that.

Non-decimal upate (although zero *is* a number) example: 155.0
Decimal update: 155.1
Seems pretty clear to me.

It's not really a thing I notice. When I use Fx to go to a website I'm
mainly looking at the content of the website, not round corners.

I think knuttle was talking about getting rid of the rounded corners.KNUTTLE was talking specifically about keeping the tabs on the bottom to identify the window that it is related to.-a-a I have no other important changes in the userchrome file.

It's just confusing terminology. Tabs on the "bottom" means tabs beneath
all the top taskbars, so in effect they really are like tabs on physical
file holders. Think of the open webpage as the physical file you're interested in. The tab should be attached to that directly; if it was a
tab and physical file you would not like to have several pieces of
irrelevant paper or card in between.
It gets even more confusing with browsers like Vivaldi where tabs on the bottom really do mean at the bottom of the open window (ie where the
status bar is)!

1. A line of tabs telling me what is on each tab.
2. Back, Forward, Re-load arrowheads then the address of the web page
I'm looking at.
3. I'm into my Yahoo mail screen with Home, Mail, News, Finance, Sport, etc., tabs.
4. The Yahoo Mail Search line
5. Stuff With-in the Yahoo-mail account.
If I open a second tab, say to the Aus Stock Exchange, https://www.asx.com.au/markets/company/EVN, the set-up is, basically,
the same, except I've get a second Tab on the top line of the screen.
So what do people want to change with this 'Tabs on the "bottom" means
tabs beneath all the top task-bars' set-up?? 2, 3, 1, 4, 5. or 2. 1, 3,
4, 5.

Gotta laugh!
IIRC. Here in the UK we officially went decimal in 1971, but now 55 years later though in day to day use we use Decimal, but in our heads and
general chit chat we still use Imperial.
I often still talk about boards being 8 x 4 feet (2.440 x 1.220 metric) or timber sizes being 4 x 2 inches (100 x 50 mm), or cement in half a Cwt
bags. (25 kilos).
In my minds eye I can visualise an 8 x 4 board, but 2.440 x 1.220 has no
mind image.
Funny old world 'innit'
