https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/firefox-labs/new-tab-now-worse/m-p/118224#M4983 When i open a new tab, it now shows a microphone and a keyboard alongside the search field, instead of the tile and menu icons that it used to show. I now have to do an extra tap to get to the old icons. I can get rid of the microphone icon but not the keyboard icon. Showing the keyboard icon is illogical. If I tap on the search field i get the keyboard. The keyboard icon doesn't save a tap and it's a lot smaller than the search field so there is no gain. But now the tile and menu options which were there need an extra tap so there's a loss and no gain. It seems very odd. Is there a way of getting the old behaviour back?
