Give us the option to use the redesigned 3 dot menu and tab viewer or the old configuration.

[Crusader_Nejaa]

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.

It would be great if we can get the old style of menu and tab organization back. I can't get used the the new setup.

[Crusader_Nejaa]

Have you guys had any luck with injecting the old tab viewer and stuff back into the browser?

Also, this suggestion is in the weekly round up again this week. Please be sure to go voice your continued support for us getting the old UI back as an option there!( https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/mozilla-connect-weekly-recap-top-voted-ideas-6-12-6-19/td... )

@hackel We have. We still hate it and want the option to use the old Tab viewer and 3 dot menu. The new 3 dot menu is poorly laid out, the new UI as a whole is horrendous for people who have certain disabilities, the tab viewer tab private/not private selections beings all the way at the top instead of half way up the screen with the ability to open the tab drawer even further to see me tabs (especially in list view) is just such a bad idea I don't know how that even made it through planning. Over all *we just don't like it*. There's no reason why the two can't coexist, as we've stated before we want the ✨option✨ to use the old style while the new one that some people like stays too. 

If Mozilla didn't remove all references to the old menu then some forks could have at least kept it for those of use that want it, but they fully remove it. Hell, they could have opened the UI API to the community devs who could make it whatever they liked and won everyone over. But they didn't. The fully removed it and locked it away so no one can use it, doesn't matter if you liked it better or if the old UI literally made using a web browser possible/far easier than others. They said "You will like it this way and be grateful." We wants options. That's all.

How can they not have resources to maintain 2 different UIs when they clearly have enough resources to completely redesign the existing UI. Saying that they need consistency when they changed the UI that so many got used to is nonsensical. From my experience the previous UI had practically no bugs and worked perfectly and by making a new design they introduced new bugs that weren't previously there.

On an unrelated note, in the previous UI you could select all tabs at once and export them to a file or send them to someone. There is no way to quickly select all tabs in the new UI and at least making an option to share all open tabs would be great as someone with over 120 open tabs. They should at the very least have all the functions the previous UI had.

@Crusader_Nejaa is correct, @hackel ...  yours is merely another "I'm alright; everybody stop complaining and get used to it" comment.  As with all previous supporters of the new UI, you have not addressed the actual usability bug specifics of the complaints here and attempt to strawman our arguments by classing us all as simply 'kneejerkers'.  These types of responses are not useful as part of any conversation about open source software...

My vote?  Revert completely to the old UI rather than maintain it and this poorly considered, dysfunctional new one then open up the system to allow more forks to see if a better UI can be developed by enthusiasts elsewhere than everyone's daily driver.

I agree with you 100 percent. It comes down to what I said earlier that being that the current development team has a history of ignoring users and just going ahead well just stating and believing that everyone will get used to what no one likes, which goes totally against what Firefox was founded on.

[tom25519]

I think Firefox could also add a grid-style 3-dot menu, like Edge for Android

1. It could contain more buttons in 1 page.
2. It needs less tap: a 4+4x2, 2 page menu could contain 20 buttons (like Edge for Android); when using 4x3, 2 page menu, could contain 24 buttons.
3. It could locate at the top or bottom (portrait mode), left or right (landscape mode).
4. User doesn't need move his/her finger long distanse to touch the button.

[FractalCucumber]

Come on guys, our voices hit the top of this week again. Bring back the 3-dot old UI.

[Crusader_Nejaa]

@FractalCucumber The old list tab viewer too!

[FractalCucumber]

@Crusader_Nejaa Absolutely necessary and urgent!

[breakingspell]

To @hackel's point, I do agree there is likely not enough Mozilla resources to support both UX styles. However, I disagree that this is a change that can be gotten used to. 

This design direction is a hard, sudden departure from the previous styling, tossing out existing convention. If it were simply a fresh coat of CSS paint like Nova will be for desktop, we'd have much less ground to stand on. However, the new Android UX moved menu positions and full-screened the tab drawer for absolutely no reason. Unless one has a small phone or large hands that can traverse the phone screen without readjusting one's grip, I can't imagine getting used to this layout.

I encourage everyone to prepare detailed, thoughtful questions about our mobile experience for the AMA on /r/firefox in a few days. It may be our last chance to get our voices heard before this flawed design passes the point of no return, if it hasn't already.

[WaggleDance]

I agree that maintaining two UIs would require justification which I can't provide, so it makes sense to ditch the new and disimproved, dysfunctional, buggy UI.

@hackel  provides another example of the ONLY supportive response to the new UI we've seen; namely, 'I'm fine. Everybody else should shut up, give up and stop having their opinions'. It also plays the dishonest strawman trick of arguing that all opposition is because opponents simply don't like change, rather than engage with the substantive problems in usability, function and implimentation laid out over the months of sustained discussion.  In short, it is trolling.
