    What happens when you have the main navigation bar at the bottom? Where does the second bar go? I hope they didn’t just remove that feature.

        Well it’s ugly but at least it doesn’t take away functionality

    Meh, if anything I wanted the ability to pin my extensions to the bar so I could access them faster

      Wonder I’d they’ll allow reordering the buttons and possibly adding other items from the … Menu or extensions. I kinda doubt it since customization on mobile has always been limited, but then again, the old UI had no extra space to work with in the first place.

        Yeah, I’m not getting my hopes up, but it would be relatively easy to add customizability for this new toolbar, since it’s just a set of buttons.

    I’ve been using this for a bit on Nightly, and though I’m wary of sacrificing website screen real estate to the browser, I must say that I found out that I’m using the new buttons quite often. Or rather, I had been using them a lot via the menu, and it’s actually pretty nice having them easily available.

    Turns out I use the forward button a lot because I’ve enabled gesture navigation, and often accidentally move back. Ironically I use gesture navigation to save on screen real estate, so maybe I should stop using that 😅

    Other than that both refresh, share and new tab are in very heavy rotation, and it now feels like a slog to have to open a menu for them. I say, give it a shot!

    Tried it. Loved it. Looks sleek and buttons make navigation much easier.

    I would’ve preferred tab groups like vanadium/chrome has, but this is ok too

      I’m pretty sure that’s just Firefox for Android, but without some of the proprietary and telemetry stuff So you’ll get it around when the stable version of Firefox does
