The rounded design of the active tab supports focus and signals the ability to easily move the tab as needed,' Mozilla said in its release notes on the new tab design.
'Floating tabs neatly contain information and surface cues when you need them, like visual indicators for audio controls. The latest edition of Firefox is rolling out, and with version 89 comes a UI redesign that Mozilla claims is 'cleaner, more inviting, and easier to use'.Ĭompared to the previous version, the new Proton interface uses a bit more vertical space for tabs, swaps out any sort of tab divider for more background colour, and introduces a bunch of whitespace for the main menu as well as reorganising it and stripping out most of the icons.
