I’m really missing the home button on iOS as it was a quick and easy way to access bookmarks. Please add it back or give users the option to customise the toolbar!

Since the latest Firefox update for iOS the Home button is missing from the bottom of the screen.
I use this button all the time.

I use it a lot, with a custom home page. It’s ridiculous that they replaced it with a New Tab button, which is already available when tapping the Tabs button.

Since the newest major update for Firefox iOS, they removed the home button. Was reading the support page and apparently this feature was intentional, which is trash.

1 button/tap to bring back to homepage.
Not 3-4 taps, plus the 2-3 mistakes trying to clear the address bar.

It was very simple before.

I have the same problem.  I really like that feature.  Mozilla, please bring back this feature.

The home button was one of the reasons I use Firefox instead of Chrome

I use Firefox Desktop and iPhone . If the home button remains absent I may have to switch to using a different phone browser 😒.

please bring it back ASAP OR give us the choice to have it available from settings KISS keep it simple stupid ☺️

I use Firefox a lot in my iphone and I’m sorry but this is getting really tiresome now 😟.

i end up with so many open tabs that I end up in a bit of a confused mess!

The bells and whistles can wait - it’s simple functionality and the user experience that matters 
PLEASE MAKE RETURNING THE HOME BUTTON YOUR HIGHEST PRIORITY. 🙏🙏🙏

This appears to be part of the labs program: the button immediately came back after I turned "Install and Run Studies" off in settings.

You are The Man,  you saved me from all this trouble with the missing home button👍.  This actually brought the home button back.  Just wanted to copy and paste your post just to make sure everyone concerned about the missing button gets to see your post:  “the button immediately came back after I turned "Install and Run Studies" off in settings”.  A big THANK YOU to you.

I also use the home button all the time. I also don’t like that they changed the order of the menu. When I go to access the settings, I end up opening my tabs. If Firefox allowed for the customization of this menu, that’d be great.

Agreed - I use the Home button as a surrogate "close" button so I can clear out the current tab but without the side-effect of closing it and having some other random tab suddenly become the focus

Sadly this trick doesn’t work anymore. Any other way?

I am really frustrated with the recent change of removing the home button from firefox in ios! I used it a lot, because I used the homepage a lot - and now i need a lot of clicks/touches to get there. Please add a switch or option to replace or configure the new buttons to something users really want. Thank you!

Please restore the missing functionality of the home button. Home, refresh, forward and back are the minimum expected functions when using a web browser and have been present for as long as I can remember.
