Please stop removing the ability to hold the android back button to bring up tab history on Firefox for Android.

Yes, I am aware I can bring up my tab history by holding the back button in the top right corner menu. That is far less efficient. Just let us toggle the feature on and off if you want it off by default. I use the feature all the time and it's so frustrating that the developers have removed it twice since I started using the app several years ago. I'm aware that android is moving toward gesture browsing, but I don't use gesture browsing, and I don't intend to switch to it unless I am forced to.

You could also make the browser back button available to replace the home button, as an option. I don't use the home button at all on mobile so I would be happy with being able to replace it and see my tab history that way, but having to not only go all the way up to the top of the screen, but also doubling the amount of taps needed to access tab history significantly slows things down when you use the feature more than a little bit.

 

Also, and I just thought of this, but what about people who have to browse one-handed? Having to go all the way to the top of the screen for that function would probably be pretty awkward/clumsywwith just one hand. Maybe not, but the thought crossed my mind.
