Latest Dev changes when pressing enter

Hi, the latest update changed what happens when pressing the enter key in dev tools. There's a complete explanation somewhere explaining the motivation, accessibilty and it being more natural/intuitive.

After years using Firefox I can honestly say it isn't as natural as described and the whole process has become very cumbersome. I can understand wanting to provide a more natural experience and give users with accessibility needs a good experience but for me it's not working.

Is there any way to turn the feature off? A setting perhaps?

If not can you tell me which version should I install which doesn't have this updated dev tools UI feature?

Many thanks

They've bring it back in a recent dot release (122.1). Just update it again.

Thanks Buddy, that sorted it out though I feel a little guilty complaining about it as it was done with good intentions. Thanks again.
