The user in question should just try it again.
I'm asking because they explicitly said they don't want Firefox. I'm formatting their PC and if possible, would like to move them away from Chrome due to the privacy issues that come with it. Yes, I'm aware and agree that Firefox is the better option, but I'm trying to meet them half-way.
Do you know why they didn't like it the first time? I know people who didn't like the UI design. If that user didn't like FF for that reason, then the new interface design should solve the problem.
Literally all modern browsers look and behave the same, so, I will never understand people saying such statements...
They behave the same but FF had an older design than most of the other "big" browsers. Not that I thought it was ugly, but it's undeniable that there was less effort put into the visuals.
I thought Firefox' design was functional. Now they plan on disconnecting the tab bar from the tab itself which makes not a lot of sense from a UX design viewpoint. Let's see if users like it…
Mozilla already has a really low userbase. They do stuff like the Pocket integration and pointless redesigns to alienate them even further.
I have used Firefox as my main browser since Firefox 0.9. I never warmed up to any of the Chromium-based alternatives. But even I think that Mozilla likes to fuck up from time to time.

I really like the new Firefox design. Have not seen very much complaining from others.
Very much this! They all behave pretty much the same by default.
