I appreciate your commitment to improving the user experience and making Firefox for Mobile truly fit our needs.

I understand that the new toolbar and menu design is a work in progress, and I'm excited about the possibility of customization.

What has happened to "History".  It is practically useless now with repeats of addresses in a row if you are navigating on a site.

I'm a huge fan of the new toolbar! it's the only reason I'm using Firefox Nightly on Android as my main browser while waiting for it to trickle down to the more stable flavours. I've just seen the toolbar appear on my Firefox Beta install (134.0b10) that I periodically check for that very feature, but once I started setting everything up to finally move to i,t the toolbar diseappeared at some point, and the revamped menu went back to the old look, as well. is there any way to force show the toolbar in Beta at the moment?

edit: Settings > About Firefox Beta > Tap the logo 7 times > back to Settings > Nimbus Experiments > toggle the "Android default toolbar placement - Treatment A Rollout" experiment.

Recently Mozilla announced a search engine partnership with Ecosia.

Currently in the Firefox iOS version it is not possible to select Ecosia as a default search engine, it does not appear in the list.

If I try to add Ecosia manually, it is not possible to have search suggestions from Ecosia.

Please add Ecosia as one of the options for default search engine, so that we can use search suggestions, thanks.

The option I use most is Share, but it’s now on a secondary menu page. I would like to customize the menu so favorite items are on the first menu page.

Firstly wish to say a big thanks for Firefox for mobile which i have utilised for eva. A glitch or two occasionally is expected.

But just to say here, for mobile users, in case anyone else does NOT like the.... New bookmark saved to last folder saved in... And having to very very quickly click Edit to change which folder the bookmark IS saved to.... Or doesn't like if u miss that fast Edit option, trying to remember where it went, to edit to relevant folder.... A breath.... Took me ages to get to this point, with zero search help. 99 of 100 links are Mozilla PC. Ok, yes, I could join a Firefox for mobile forum. But wotevs.

Go to settings, Homepage. You should see Bookmarks listed. Whichever recent update did it, you'll find that toggled off. Toggle on. And go back to you choosing if a new bookmark goes to the list below all folders, or the create a name & choose folder to save to. I get the "faster convenience" addiction & how useful in certain workplaces or business, but no, far too much "faster convenience" , not dissing Firefox, Mozilla, just overall, is usually a crock of inconvenience. Fixes for what ain't broken for an extra bauble, adding more steps aint convenient. Still ♥️ u Mozilla Firefox.

I strongly dislike the new toolbar in Android. I think the study was classified as group B, however enabling the switch to A, they both have a lot of the same problems. They take up entirely too much vertical space while browsing, for incredibly little benefit. I do not need dedicated forward / back buttons on a mobile browser at all times. Who does?
