Not a fan of the new look. If you're in the same boat, plug:

about:config

into your URL bar, and search for:

browser.nova.enabled

Toggle it to false using the button to the right.

There are functional changes that Nova also introduced: this won't effect those - only the aesthetic.

Not sure why people get so attached to how things used to be.

I run nightly, its fun to get all the new stuff early. Fwiw I do it on my work machine. Never been an issue with usability.

Not sure why people see the need to make changes for changes sake.

I've had the same frontend for firefox for a decade and it's worked just fine. Never been an issue with usability.

Muscle memory. It took me about a year to retrain how to open a new tab on Firefox for Android last time they moved things around for no good reason.

I'm colorblind.

Do you think it's necessary for me to have a bunch of rounded corners and colors that prevent me from telling the clear borders between anything but the active tab in the interface?

It really felt like Mozilla threw me under the bus with this new interface. Should I "just deal" and accept it even though it makes it ten times as hard to do even really simple browsing?

Isn't there a flag to disable it?

I thought I saw somewhere that there was a high contrast mode. Did I imagine that? I can't find details about it now.

Yeah you see this every time an Apple update drops. People take it like a personal assault
