What do you think about the new menu of Firefox Android?

I just changed it back right when I figured out how.

This is my day 2 of trying Firefox on Android (coming from Opera), so it's not like I was already used to it.

About Firefox Nightly -> Tap the FF logo a few times -> Secret settings -> Enable menu redesign off

Thank you. I don't hate the big buttons, but they put the most important ones on the top out of reach frommy thumb. Dumbest decision ever.

They half assedly implemented it without porting over all features, which is annoying but definitely the Mozilla way.

It moved the back/forward arrows to the top of the screen where I can barely reach. Why ?

I like it, that being said I still want a quicker way to access my extensions.

I hate it. It used to be two taps to open a new tab.

Now it's four taps:

Open the menu
Close the menu
Open tabs
[+]

My muscle memory ain't going nowhere.

In defense of Mozilla on this one, the new tab button has been in tabs for years now, and it kinda makes sense to be there.
If they're trying to streamline menus, getting rid of a redundant button is a good start.
you can still open a tab with two taps
I completely forgot there was a new tab entry in that menu
You can long press the tab icon to open a new tab. Still 2 taps.
- Or tap the tab icon and then the plus icon in the bottom right.
  Although I did mainly use the menu method. Will just have to change now.
I miss the toolbar that was experimented with for a while in Nightly that had both the new tab button and the forward button visible at all times. But apparently other people hated it.
- I still have that, but with the tab bar.
  Edit:

i do love it though i miss so much the feel of lollypop/jellybean era firefox android pre app refresh

Assuming that's the menu that is accessed from the tab bar, my first thought is that it doesn't have everything the current one has. Where are "find in page" and "desktop site"?

That's right. These are missing because I opened it from the home screen. Here is a better screenshot:
- I think I like the current one better from a usability perspective because it opens where I can access the whole thing with my thumb without having to stretch. Looks like that might not be the case here but we'll see I suppose
- I don't hate it, but I would REALLY like to be able to move those buttons around. Refresh, share, and forward are hands-down my most used buttons. Having to chase them up feels tedious.
  Similarly sign in (or, I'm guessing account once you do sign in) does not need that much real estate.
  Finally I'd love to swap Passwords with a shortcut to my password manager of choice (in my case, Bitwarden)
  I appreciate the more modern take, but I think it could use some refinement or customization options, similar to dragging things around your toolbar in FF desktop.

i don't mind it, i think it looks good - BUT i just want a tablet ui with a tab bar T_T

It's already not only in Nightly, but Beta too, so probably soon in release.
For whatever it's worth, you can enable a movable tab bar in Firefox Nightly for Android.
This will force the tab and omnibar to the top of the screen, however.
- Don't forget this too
I want to import/export bookmarks to HTML and view page source/inspect element in addition to that
Nightly has this so I assume it will come to Firefox sooner or later.
- hm, interesting; i assume fennec is based on release android firefox? i wish nightly had an f-droid release :/ i know i can download the apk but
- Nightly has multiple app icon too. It's gimmicky but here.

I like it when buttons can be reached entirely by my thumb without overstretching it. Feel like anything that isn't that is a design failure.

A couple times a week my address bar detaches from the bottom and floats in the lower third of the screen until I close and reopen the app, but sure, prioritize needless changes to the UI.

It's a standard case of a department needing to justify its budget.
Does toggling the keyboard help?

Not going to lie, I do not like it.

I prefer menus over panels.

I like it, it looks more modern, I haven't given a proper though about the layout, but honestly seeing UI changes is good, I have been using FF as my main since a while now and I don't think it hasn't changed a bit, for example I'd like that it adopted material you UI (yes I like it), but what I would like the most is that it begins to support tab grouping just like the desktop browser... But hey, baby steps.

The only button i use on a regular basis is the reload page. It moved and i need to re-learn the muscle memory but that's fine. Also i will most likely be using firefox on samsung's android XR headset and this panel will work a lot better for that.

I like it. It's better en easier to use than the old one.

Note that I'm using it for multiple months at this point.

Don't mind it, just taking a little bit getting used to because it's such a big change. My muscle memory for certain things need to be tweaked. But it looks slick, and as far as I can tell the same functionality is there.

how did you get this?

i have my android set to automatic update and i see no upgrades advertised when i check.

It's currently on the Nightly version

It's fine

Looks good, I always found the current menu pretty busy. Wish it didn't move the action buttons to the top and switch Refresh and Share though.

I have my navigation bar on the bottom, the new menu has the important navigation button on top regardless of this setting. So it means I have to press menu and the move my finger all the way up the screen anytime I want to go backward, forward, share, refresh, ...

I don't mind.

Where's AI Turbo button?

I hate it and changed it back almost immediately. The way I use Firefox, I always select "quit" to close it, which deletes all temporary files and cookies and this is just not doable with the new menu, which wastes precious screen space.

Why doesn't the big "quit" button work in the new case? Doesn't delete cookies, etc?
- No, it does work, but I always have to scroll down to reach it, because the new menu does not show all the buttons at once, when opened. This is really annoying.

@mustbe3to20signs Interesting. I'll have to play with it a bit before I decide, but I'm not 100% in love with it right now.
