My only big issue with the redesign is that it no longer shows you at a glance when a background tab is playing audio. You have to mouseover each tab to show the audio icon.



Do you not have "playing" in small caps under the title? https://i.imgur.com/9qUz5zT.png It's also shown in various articles about the redesign: https://www.theverge.com/2021/6/1/22463321/firefox-design-re...


It displays for me, in place of the favicon (but I'm on nightly, so this might be a more recent change). Here's what it looks like for me: https://imgur.com/a/EwaKsNt


The difference is compact mode. In compact mode it replaces the favicon, in normal/touch mode it adds an extra line with the "PLAYING" text.

If anyone knows how to turn this off, or prevent it moving the tab title up and down please let me know.

Pausing a video in one window then a second later having my attention drawn back to it by the movement is very annoying. I'm on xubuntu.


Interesting, here's what I see now on 89.0: https://imgur.com/a/bItmejF

I swear the "PLAYING" text wasn't there when I first updated. Seems like maybe they're still ironing out how to handle it.


FWIW, the playing text is longer in the localization I use, and when cut off (many tabs) it's not really readable. :)
