Hi guys,

Recently my hamburger icon menu (the one that has options like refresh, share etc) broke and all the options are massive. It looks incredibly stupid and is really annoying, is there any way for me to fix it without reinstalling the browser?

I figure this is the best section for asking this question, sorry if it isn't!

Thanks!

I've tried disabling it with the secret menu and it makes no difference. Seeing as Mozilla don't give a singular toss about the needs of their neurodivergent users I want to install an old version of firefox for android with a version of the UI that doesn't make me want to self harm. I know how to disable android updates but not install an old version safely. How do I do this?

Attached a screenshot of the new UI. As an aside if anyone can recommend the drugs that the people who designed and approved this ugly tosh are on I'd love to know what they are, must be good stuff for them all to make decisions this asinine.

A collection item on Android Firefox already has an X, so why allow deletion by swiping left or right? It is WAY TOO EASY to accidentally delete an item by nudging it left or right while clicking it. And there is no warning pop-up. How about an option to disable left/right swipe delete? Or just remove the gestures entirely. Thanks.

I wanted to use this space to address the Firefox Android's awful browser history interface.

I made a complaint six years ago in which one of the issues I had with the mobile browser was that trying to search through history was a miserable experience. Six years, three phones, and numerous updates later, absolutely nothing has been fixed. The mobile browser STILL does not separate entries by date, and when one searches by website the only options are "Firefox Suggests" instead of an actual chronological listing of what pages were visited.

Yes, I know that bookmarking pages would alleviate this issue. I typically do, but I'm human and can forget to do that. And no, syncing both the desktop and mobile browser histories is not a valid excuse, not when other mobile browsers were able to do this without relying on desktop versions for over a decade.

And so I ask again, is there a better way to view the browser history. And if not, could Mozilla PLEASE actually implement an actual UI that properly organizes search history. I enjoy Firefox's privacy measures and I really do not want to go back to Chrome, but I need to also have a browser that doesn't feel like I'm pulling teeth just to use something so basic.

Trending Search Suggestions Enabled by default and can't be disabled

I am using Firefox Nightly 144.0a1 (Build #2016111007) on Andoird 14. In the Search Settings, the Show Trending Sugfestions option is ticked/selected by default and can not be unticked or disabled. And if I disable "Show Search Suggestions" option under "Suggestions from Search Engines", it will also disbles the feature of searching bookmarks and synced tabs from Address Bar (even though This option is seperate in the Search Settings under Address bar - Firefox Suggest).

So right now to search from Address Bar, I have to manditorily Turn ON Show Search Suggestions Option, which starts showing Trending Search Suggestions (which is very annoying and useless for me). Kindly fix this and provide options where user can Enable Search Suggestions for Local Bookmarks or Synced Tabs without forcing user to enable Trending Search Suggestions from Search Engines.

I was told to post this here after leaving a review on the Play Store. The sensitivity of pull down to refresh is too sensitive. When I go to search for something on a website and I try to click the suggested search, it refreshes the page almost every time. eBay and IMDb are the most problematic pages, but it happens on other sites as well. Also, some times just regular scrolling down to read triggers a refresh no matter how soft and slow I try to do it. And that's actually going the opposite direction because I'm moving up to scroll down and it still triggers it. I like having pull down to refresh, it's just too sensitive. I'm using a Samsung S25 and everything (app and system software etc) is fully updated if that info is needed.
