What happened?

Tabs also have some weird glitch.

Workspace switching does not change the theme as well as the tabs dont appear. And when opening new tab from an essential tab the new tab replaces the existing tab rather than creating a new tab

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Version

When I use the "new tab", a new tab doesn't show, but just url bar opens. do we have the same problem?

That's a breaking change introduced in 1.7.5b. The powers that be have decided that new tab pages are no longer cool and for peak productivity it should focus the URL bar instead with your input carrying over to the new tab when you hit enter.

If you hate this behavior you can toggle it off by setting zen.urlbar.replace-newtab to false in about:config. It should take effect immediately.

@barelyprofessional Thanks man! Very strange decision of them

[tanaybhomia]

@CyberPhuck It was requested very heavily and I like the change just that it is broken currently I hope he clears some bugs in the upcoming updated

This should be fixed in 1.7.6b
