The new one is way too minimalist. It also appears to target people with poor sight all chrome elements suddenly became larger.
EDIT - The upgrade also wiped all GreaseMonkey scripts for some reason. Hmm.
EDIT - Downgraded back to 56. Way too many jarring UI changes as well as the AddOn breakage to justify the new snappiness. Mozilla also appears to have pulled the link to the "old releases" page from their main website, so here it is - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases
Yeah, saw that. That's not "Compact" though, that's "Cluttered".
The top part of the browser window is now an utter mess. I can live with the new tab style, but the layout with absolutely no vertical spacing/padding and these new "minimalist" icons is just... ugly, and unnecessary at that. I don't think I'm the only person who cares for how things _look_ in addition to how they _work_.
