Long-press back button no longer summons history on Android?

I thought last week's Samsung update broke my phone or something over the last few days, but after trying Beta, Focus, and Nightly; I finally found a 2-week-old 133.0.3 Fennec build on F-Droid where it still works; so it can't be my phone after all.

Did you decide to remove this feature, or did it break in the 134.0 update? It was the app's most useful feature for browsing, imho.

I know you can tap the three dots and long-press the menu's arrows, but having to pause to check which of the two arrows isn't grayed out and thus clickable is such a flow killer compared to the global long-press action, and I've been constantly running into it since this change.

Hi! It seems the long-press back button feature was removed in recent updates. While the three-dot menu with arrows is a workaround, it’s not as smooth as the previous method. I’d suggest sharing feedback with Mozilla, as they might consider bringing it back in future updates. Hope that helps!
