Status: New idea

It's not secret that many people dislike the new changes to the menu and tabs viewer, further there are people who will not be able to use it or severely struggle to use it. By allowing us the option of which we use and see it will allow users to continue using our favorite and preferred android web browser as well as allow those who prefer the older style of menu and tab organization.

Yes, bring back the old menu! The new one is garbage! I can't use it, and I'll switch browsers if I can't switch menus.

Add to the tab settings option for large grid and small grid. The former 3x3 grid was so much better than 2x2 grid — I'm not a blind!

This new menu redesign chould be optional, or have a turn back option, (that was removed from secret menu)
I find it much harder to use this new menu redesign, is just bad, my user experience is so bad I just freeze on version 140.0, with extra steps to do simple actions and tabs barely visible, after so long without security updates, I think to my self The old design was excellent, user forever on insecure Firefox reason no other choice.

+1 for a full revert of the new full screen tabs container on Android. The previous "drawer" was snappier and more efficient, especially for one-handed use. The most fundamental issue is reported here, with an interesting response: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1979656 

We intentionally moved from a bottom sheet to a full screen fragment here.

Why? Other mobile interfaces have migrated to bottom-drawer sliding dialog UX over the last few years, Firefox already had a head start with the tabs tray.

The actual change from a "dialog" to the full-screen menu happened in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1971400 - https://phabricator.services.mozilla.com/D255850 . Unfortunately this cannot simply be reverted to it's former presentation, too much has progressed since. 

The new UX is a huge step back, as everyone else here has detailed. I do hope the developers take this design feedback seriously, despite the existing work having been done. New features like Tab Groups should have no trouble following the old design if it does get walked back.

They said to give it time to get used to it. I gave it time, and I still can't use to this. If I wanted a menu that looks like this I'd be using Edge (and even Edge lets you customize it), but I don't. Give me a real menu again, please!

Why the UI is Suddenly Irrelevant

If you’re a developer agonizing over a 50ms delay in a CSS hover-state, I have bad news: Most of your “users” don’t have eyes. They are browsing your site via headless browsers and residential proxies to look like a guy named Troy from Toronto, while they actually systematically scrape your pricing or scalp your inventory.

(That's Right they are Bots not Real Users and they will clap the browser is great, never complaining) Sad days ahead (-_-)

The fact that this has been top of the board in ideas for a good while now AND has appeared in two monthly recaps so far, yet they have completely ignored it? It speaks volumes about the people who made the UI changes in the first place.

If it wasn't obvious by this point that it was forced by the UI team upset that nobody liked their dog water UI changes yet, this just confirms it.

Everyone who made and signed off on these changes genuinely just shouldn't be allowed to touch UI designs ever again, or any designs for that matter.

In any idea you have 1 or 3 votes but on bring the old ui redesign the number voted (76).

Now can we have themes like the ones on windows, it was so cool before, then they were just removed, the excuse was security reason's, make it secure so we can use cool frutiger_kitsune-1.0.xpi
