Anyone know how to revert the horrendous new #Firefox #Android menu design?

It is slow, clumsy and it is even harder to reach extension icons than before.

And extensions. Are. The. Only. Reason. To. Use. Firefox. (Apart from Privacy, if you harden it a lot).

I couldnt find an about:config to revert the menu redesign. #Ironfox showed a menu for that for some time.

    So much better. I like it a a lot.

    Of course Firefox on mobile is rarely used, that’s what firefox focus is for.

      @NewNewAugustEast

      Focus is vastly inferior and without extension support? Also no fully FOSS version available

    You. Should. Never. Use. Extensions. Unless you absolutely have to.

    I actually like it. Cleaner and easier to use on mobile. Great job 👍.

    I like it very much, morebthan before actually.

    And extensions are right there, one tap from the main menu… So what are you bitching about?

    For once, a positive UI change IMHO.

      It takes an extra click to get to ublock origin which is why I dislike it.

        I can’t remeber the last time I needed to interact with uBlock extension. Particularly on mobile, what are you doing with it?

          I use ublock in hard mode, so it requires interaction most of the time on new sites.

              Have you used hard mode before? You have to manually unblock site elements a lot of the time but it’s very secure for sites that you visit on a whim

                I use Firefox Focus for that. No extensions, ad block by default, drops all cookies on close. Basically a stateless browser for every site / session.

                What you are doing seems to remind me of using no script.

                Unless your goal is to get to data elements as the site is trying to do stupid things like covering text you want to read, which I can understand.

                But it sure seems like it would be a pain on mobile.

                Nice Cascadia flag you got there, I totally support you guys splitting off and enjoying your own geo region.

                  Yeah, IronFox has it built in too, but I’m a little particular about blocking everything. You’re correct that it’s like running noscript, in fact, it’s the recommended replacement for noscript.

                  Nice Cascadia flag you got there, I totally support you guys splitting off and enjoying your own geo region.

                  Thanks :) One can dream.

    @Rhababerbarbar @firefoxnightly @firefox@lemmy.world @firefoxwebdevs @firefox@fedia.io really? It is right there on the very first click. Couldn’t possibly be easier. But hey, let’s hate firefox for everything. I am sure they are to blame for global warming too

      It is slower. Of course I know where they are, but it takes an extra click, the drawer has animations (doesnt respect the system disabling them), and not all extensions are shown and the order cannot be changed.

      Na, the new menu still sucks. Wish there was a way to revert it.
