Why @firefox is not implementing this UI by default and why none of the Firefox-derived web browsers implementing this.

I somehow managed to build this, but its not prefect.

@librewolf

At this point the there has been almost no significant improvement.

I definitely prefer Firefox as it is now to that.

I'm not sure why Firefox must look like a GNOME app by default. IMHO, looks really bad.

Also, how am I supposed to move this window?

[–] TeryVeneno@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Don’t put this look on gnome apps lol, they look way better than this.

And I've never looked at Firefox's tab bar and thought, this UI element really needs to occupy a lot more screen space.

The chunk of screen space lost to that tabs window wouldn't be as big a deal if the windows were maximised, but there's no button for that now either.

Yeah, I hate this redesign, maybe that's why Mozilla stuck with the design that works?

@Lucia Its not to make it look like something else, the screens are become wider and not taller, and it make more sense to move the the tab bar to side (vertical tab bar).

I hide the CLOSE, MINIMIZE & MAXIMIZE button as i am using Sway (a tiling window manager).

And to move, we can just press the mod button (CMD on macs and window logo button on keyboards) then just press the left mouse click on firefox to move screen.

Yeah sorry, it looked a bit GNOMEish so I assumed it was related to this desktop.

It makes sense for keyboard-driven window managers as well as for DEs with window decorations, but on GNOME for example this design would leave no place to move a window around.

And to move, we can just press the mod button (CMD on macs and window logo button on keyboards) then just press the left mouse click on firefox to move screen.

I use this a lot on Xfce, but most users don't even know they can do this (and will never bother to change their habits). I prefer when application integrates into environment, not forces some kind of workflow. It's totally fine for a personal redesign, but as a main UI it's a bit too much.

Thats why I am saying there are some hiccups here and there and we need implementation directly from developer. Or toggle to move tabs from top to vertical.

I agree, would love to see more customizability on Firefox. I personally prefer tabs to be under toolbar/addressbar, not above it (and to hide when there's only one tab.

I dont think it should be default. Personally I think tabs on right click might even be smarter since I would not have to move the mouse so far. Yes, I don't horde tabs. I never understood how to handle tabs without the title. So I never have more than 10 tabs.
