Mozilla Connect Monthly Recap: Top-Voted Ideas for May 2026

[Jon]

Hey all,

Happy June and welcome to another edition of our Monthly Recap—not to be confused with our Weekly Recap (which we publish every Friday).  

This post will highlight the top 15 most-voted ideas for the previous month. While some are ‘new ideas’ and others may already be ‘in development’ (learn more about The Idea Journey here), we encourage you to continue voting and sharing your feedback—the more details, the better. Our teams are regularly looking at ideas and threads here as they plan and prioritize future roadmaps. 

Without further ado, here they are…

Genuinely hoping we can have the option to use the old tab viewer and 3 dot menu again in the near future 

[fed-up]

Agreed! This has been a common complaint for a while. It would be nice if we had some kind of response from Mozilla. Even a quick "We're working on it" or "We're not doing that" so we know whether or not to expect anything.

[WhyMustIDoThis]

Same here. The old menu should be the default with the new one being only for those who opt-in. All of the changes to the UI compared to what we had before are huge steps backward, but this one is by far the worst. Fixing this one thing would go a long way towards stopping me from shopping around for other mobile browsers.

At the moment the redesigned mobile Tab and Menu UX is the sole issue I have with Firefox, across both mobile and desktop! 

It's a shame that this new UX and the removal of the old Secret Settings has already poisoned every single downstream fork of Fenix:

[Antares]

Absolutely. The new menu especially is a disaster of usability and accessability both.

[WaggleDance]

I suspect that Mozilla is choosing, for suspiciously secreted reasons, to ignore the hundreds of complaints on this single, significant, easily resolvable issue.

What IS that reason and why is Mozilla diverging so hard from the open source ethos (open decision making, user involvement and collective, bottom-up design) here?  I'm heartily disappointed, and moreover, continue to be thwarted everyday by my browser of choice.

Sunken costs fallacy and/or obstinate egos perhaps?

[PlastFace]

Agreed as well. The old Android menu was efficient and way more ergonomic than the new one. And yes, even if I move the toolbar down, the vast majority of websites have upper settings/toolbars, so it will always require a lot of movements.
