FF89 looks great BUT something's missing. I click the 3 bars to bring up the menu. There used to be a choice "Open file..." that would open a pull-down menu of the folder where I keep a special set of html files, something I used every day, but it's gone now. I can still open the Windows file explorer, and navigate to that folder, but that's a few extra steps. I found a place to customize the toolbar, and "open file..." was there in the overflow menu, and I tried to move it back but it didn't come. It's not under More Tools either.

Solved my own problem. Go to Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars. Pick the "Open file..." or whatever else has disappeared from the toolbar, and just drag it up there. Some items might be in the overflow menu on the right.
