same here and its awful. please change it back to coloured tabs microsoft, or at least give us a checkbox for it in the settings tab.
The issue is that the folder icon has changed (on some PCs) from being yellow (which is how it has been since the launch of the new Edge):
to being transparent, and therefore much harder to see the icons:
Different PCs, same Windows 11 build and same build of Edge (131.0.2903.70 official build).
Is this being A/B testing or is this a problem on one PC?
I'm having the same issue. This post describes the issue perfectly. The white folder icons are weird. Hopefully, it's just a bug in the latest Edge update.
Allow us to make custom folders for peeps sake. Strange that we can not, considering we identify things faster as icons/shapes.
All yellow folders = dumb. Now with this lame bug with no colours looks gross.
I just noticed the same thing this morning. Hopefully someone can explain this.
Hi, I also got this bug now. I was watching a few super high-quality videos and my screen blacked out for a bit (videos were still running) so I closed them (and after closing the edge tabs with the videos, I ended the MS Edge task in Task Manager) and everything refreshed. All taskbar icons re-appeared everything went back to normal except for edge.
My favorite folder icons look without the yellow, and opening a new tab would sometimes not show the background image I have set (If I stop opening new tabs, the background shows up again after another attempt a few seconds later). I also notice a bit of lag in how pages load but seems to only last a bit when I open the browser or when it bugs the new tab and doesn't show the background.
I closed and re-opened the browser
I reset my PC
I ran the antivirus Malwarebytes (even though I knew that was just a memory crash due to high consumption but just in case) and nothing malicious was detected.
Even used the repair feature by going to apps and edge still has the new tab background and favorite folder icon problem.
Mind you every link inside each folder looks perfectly normal and still works just fine (except for some icons of links that are just images, they show like this instead of a blank page which is how it was before.)
