also i'm going to be the first person to say i don't hate the Nova redesign in testing...
It's far better than the previous UI, though that's not a high bar to clear. I really wish they still had the older UI circa the Trapezoidal tabs era, but that seems like a no-brainer.
In comparison to now, i think the design is far better. I'm a sucker for Vertical tabs, but hate the single-width topbar, and enabling the Title bar is ugly as sin on the current window design- but even with my normal Lavender theme on it, the new design with the titlebar looks really nice. The titlebar color is consistent in the gaps between all the panels, so it doesn't just have a hard cutoff line.

Upon further testing, i discovered the titlebar colormatch might have been a fluke, due to my use of a light theme during the day Dark themes don't seem to match, unfortunately Wonder if it's feedback that'd be acceptable by Firefox- or if they even can control that at all Seems reasonable to have Panel gaps match system theme regardless of the Browser theme (Or to at least include it as an option?)
