Just to illustrate it, check how Firefox 88 looks and what is up and coming. Human beings can easily recognize and memorize icons, and now instead you have to read 20 menu items and try to understand what you actually need to click. Mozilla has removed icons from menus, which makes navigating them slower and more difficult.
The inactive tabs now completely lack a delimiter between them and in the case of websites lacking a favicon, all inactive tabs look like one, which makes understanding what's open and what to click very difficult and time consuming. The active tab is now totally disconnected from the active web page and it looks out of place. Overall, vertically, the title bar and address bar now take almost a dozen pixels more than previous Firefox releases, which steals very precious vertical space. The compact density option for the address bar is now gone, and not only that, the title bar is now a lot taller than before. The most substantial redesign, which is being prepared for the next release, called Proton, promises to drive most power users away because it's broken on a number of levels and makes using the browser a very unpleasant experience. Google Chrome and Apple Safari look almost the same as they did a decade ago. Seeing that, someone at Mozilla probably decided that the best way to entice people back is by changing its UI, thus Firefox has already seen quite a huge number of changes despite other major web browsers staying relatively the same in terms of their visuals i.e. Tashkinov writes: Over the past ten years, Firefox market share has decreased substantially and the web browser has lost its appeal and coolness.
