> Based on our research, we found out that more than half of you have 4+ tabs open all the time, and some of you have more, a lot more.
This is surprising. I rarely have over three tabs ever, and i usually like to keep it at one. If i really need to multitask that many things I'd prefer to open another window and either splitscreen or move it to a different workspace.
I don't like the redesign. I think I'll be moving to brave or ungoogled-chromium despite my dislike for chromium dominance.
I have I think 70 tabs open right now. 10 tabs across, 3 rows visible, plus scroll bar.
It's not about multitasking. I open every link in a new tab and generally close the tab once I've consumed that tab. For example, I opened both this article and the comments in new tabs at the same time.
Generally I close down most tabs at the end of the day.
I'm sure this redesign will again mess up my workflow.

Two weeks ago I had a major cleanup after I reached over 1800 open tabs(with few duplicates). A few years ago I though 100 tabs were excessive. Turns out they're just better bookmarks than actual bookmarks.
Luckily Firefox can handle it without any issues or slowdowns.
I use tree style tabs because I regularly have 20+ tabs open. Android on my phone right now actually has the infinity symbol instead of a number of tabs open, I think it did that when I crossed 100
Ditto .. tree style tabs revolutionised the way i tabulated :)
That said, I wasn't completely happy with how TST sat alongside the default tab bar (and my use of pinned tabs) - thankfully its infinitely customisable so I put together a basic, timed custom style to clean things up a bit (with respect to my personal preferences!): https://gist.github.com/theprojectsomething/6813b2c27611be03...
You can set browser.proton.enabled to false in about:config to get rid of the new design. I agree that it is a downgrade, but I also think that it's important to keep Firefox around as a counterweight to Chromium.
I am in the same boat with you on the number of tabs, but I love the new redesign. I am not sure how this is enough of an issue for anybody to jump browsers.
