Anyone know how to revert the horrendous new #Firefox #Android menu design?

It is slow, clumsy and it is even harder to reach extension icons than before.

And extensions. Are. The. Only. Reason. To. Use. Firefox. (Apart from Privacy, if you harden it a lot).

I couldnt find an about:config to revert the menu redesign. #Ironfox showed a menu for that for some time.

I can't remeber the last time I needed to interact with uBlock extension. Particularly on mobile, what are you doing with it?

I use ublock in hard mode, so it requires interaction most of the time on new sites.

Have you used hard mode before? You have to manually unblock site elements a lot of the time but it's very secure for sites that you visit on a whim

I use Firefox Focus for that. No extensions, ad block by default, drops all cookies on close. Basically a stateless browser for every site / session.

What you are doing seems to remind me of using no script.

Unless your goal is to get to data elements as the site is trying to do stupid things like covering text you want to read, which I can understand.

But it sure seems like it would be a pain on mobile.

Nice Cascadia flag you got there, I totally support you guys splitting off and enjoying your own geo region.

Yeah, IronFox has it built in too, but I'm a little particular about blocking everything. You're correct that it's like running noscript, in fact, it's the recommended replacement for noscript.

Thanks :) One can dream.
