I’m not one to usually diss new UI changes, but this one grinds my gears.
Firefox for Android has released a new menu design. It organizes everything a little differently, which is alright it looks fresh. But 2 things are really annoying and a continuous design trend in Firefox.
- The option to open page in external app has been tucked away in a sub menu. I used this often and it was in the top level menu before. Companies just love hiding things in menus for no reason.
- the option to open a private tab as a normal tab is GONE. This is how I use Firefox: someone sends me a link, I click on it and it opens in a private tab by default. If I need to sign in to see it (e.g. private Instagram links) then I open it in a normal tab. This option is now simply gone.
So yeah that’s my rant. I’ll see if I open a bug requesting the 2nd issue back.

I prefer not installing random extensions just to replace what should native.
This seems like a perfect use case for extensions. You want a UI feature that the developers seem to have decided is too niche to include in the app.
It does not say that this addon is available for android.
The Android version supports desktop addons now.
Does it support ALL addons? I thought i was only those with the marker, like this one.
