136.0.2 (Build #2016079799)

Latest version (version above) on Android appears to have issues on startup of displaying shortcuts on the homepage. It doesn't initially display them, but if I select the private browsing symbol, then select it again to return to normal browsing, the shortcuts reappear. Then when I start Firefox later, having closed it down for a while, the same issue occurs.

Also, from not showing the homepage icons, clicking the '0' and clicking the '+' to add a new tab displays the icons.

Firefox used to start up and display the shortcuts without having to go through the above process.

I've tried various settings for the homepage but none resolve this.

Anyone having the same issue?

Screenshots attached.

I just went to hit the menu button in Firefox Android and now there's a QR scanner icon instead which brings up the camera. I use the menu/settings typically twice a day. I use the QR scanner about once every 8 months.

I want a way to remove the QR scanner option from the URL bar.

Just like every other android phone, it already has a built in QR scanner within settings.

I don't need some Mickey Mouse bolt on to Firefox to duplicate that functionality, which in the process breaks essential functionality I typically use at least once per day.

I can only wonder what kind of person thought that adding this was good idea.

If there is no option in settings to remove this QR scanner from the search/URL bar can this stupid change please be undone until there IS an option to disable it ? This is really annoying and is a deal-breaker afaic.

Many thanks! :)

Example shown, attached. I tried different search engines but this change is part of Firefox itself and it occurs irrespective of which search engine is selected.
