>"Go to about:config and toggle browser.nova.enabled to false."
Thanks! Color me surprised... although Mozilla has always been pretty good about adding disable options for many of the changes they introduce (much better than other browsers). Of course, it is likely that config entry will eventually disappear. But maybe by then something else will happen or replace it and it won't matter.
Hmm, I hadn't noticed. Why didn't author post something in the main readme? If anyone knows which might be taking the crown, please post... Aris recommends

Anyway, I have Aris-t2's working fine, and yes, with a separate search box, just like you, with every Firefox through now 154. Also tabs on bottom, square tabs, and other stuff. Will update to 157 soon so maybe it will break at that point. I hope not.
If that's not the absolute worst idea in the world, it's certainly in the running.
>"Can you turn it back to rectangular tabs in tool/settings"
I doubt that. And themes only change colors and backgrounds.
But you can make actual changes with Userchrome. It takes a bit of effort, though. I have my tabs square and always outlined and against the content, in a traditional way, using it.

>"These clowns keep finding new ways to waste screen real estate."
1) Nothing is larger than before or using more space.
2) They just brought back compact mode, which REDUCES the screen real estate. Turn it on and be happy.
I am OK with people complaining about things, but at least make them valid complaints...
>"Firefox 157 is rolling out a major redesign"
Exactly how is slightly more rounded tabs/address bar and some slightly different icons a "major redesign"? (It isn't). BTW- I hate rounded buttons and tabs, so I use mods to fix that anyway. It isn't new, they have had those rounded for a long time.
Anyway, it is good they brought back compact mode, I could not fathom why it was taken away in the first place.
There are some products where it's not as big a deal - apples, for instance. A New Zealand apple can still taste great when it arrives in New York or London. But yeah, the market may insist we need to buy berries year-round, but like you I largely stick to seasonal produce as much as possible. And, if not, greenhouse grown products sourced from our region are typically better than the alternatives (like here in Washington state - we are fortunate to have British Columbia's greenhouse growers close by, selling to our stores).
They do pick them early (not just oranges, pretty much most fruit and vegetables).
Funny story - way back, trains used to use interior gas lights (coal gas I think). Produce sellers were used to picking their products unripe, loading it into trains, and having it arrive at the destination perfectly ripe. Well, when trains switched to electric lights, suddenly all this unripe produce started arriving at the markets! They eventually figured out that ethylene gas, leaking from gas pipes, was serving to accelerate the ripening of the produce.
I read an article (in the Atlantic, I think) a few months ago that talked about the Florida citrus industry. IIRC it sounds like, in addition to the huge problems caused by that disease, the Florida growers have also made a habit of shooting themselves in the foot with stupid short-sighted choices.
I get all my best benchmarks by piping everything to
That doesn't taste like wood.
I'm not sure where you're getting your produce... but the fruit I buy doesn't have this problem.
Except I do see your point regarding oranges. I haven't tasted a good navel orange in a couple decades; I basically just don't buy them anymore.
>"That's because it IS a bribe!"
I came to post the exact same thing. It *is* a bribe. And it is insulting.
Now, if they had air-tight assurances it would cause no noise, ever, and not affect energy pricing ever, and wouldn't be visible from any residential locations, then maybe it is something I would consider supporting if I were there (with or without the "bribe"). The jobs thing is a joke- sick of hearing about that lie. But it could very much mean more tax revenue, which would be good for many years to come.... assuming the local or state government doesn't do something stupid like offering "incentives".

>"Will this force the alternatives to add this 'feature' also?
I came to pose the same question. What does this mean for Calc? Generally, maintaining compatibility with Excel is a must, even if it is offensive. Even if it causes all kinds of issues.
As far as I can tell, Microsoft is not killing off CoPilot. In fact, I just (yesterday) got an email which included some new branding I've not noticed before:
