For some reason on android firefox I'm no longer able to pull up a tab's history by holding down the back button. I can still press to go back, but there's no way to either go back several pages or to go forward if I have already gone back.

How to move the new (in Firefox Mobile 134 beta) toolbar from bottom to top?

I'm using Firefox Mobile Beta on Android (org.mozilla.firefox_beta). A recent upgrade (to version 134 beta) has introduced a UI change so that there are now two different “bars”: the address (URL) bar that was already present, and a new bar (which I highlighted in purple in the attached screenshot) that contains the “back” and “forward” buttons (that used to be part of the three dots menu) as well as a “new tab” button and the three dots menu button that used to be on the address bar. Not knowing how to call it, I'll refer to this new bar as the “new toolbar”.

The settings (in “Customize” → “Address bar location”) provide a way to move the address bar either to the top (as in my screenshot) or to the bottom of the screen (I think bottom is the default).

Alas, this setting does not apply to the new toolbar. It remains stuck at the bottom. I have been unable to find a way to move it to the top. Googling for help returns nothing useful as the UI change is recent.

I find this UI to be disastrous to the point of being unusable. No other Android app I use has the (three dots or hamburger) “menu” button at the bottom right: it's always at the top right. So I keep clicking on “reload” which is situated (in the address bar) right where the “menu” button used to be.

QUESTION: Is there a way to either restore the previous interface or, at least, move the new toolbar (or at the very least the menu button) to the top of the screen rather than the bottom?

I would like to draw attention to the fact that it is very important to solve this issue before 134 becomes stable, or users risk abandoning Firefox Mobile over this UI change if there is no way to revert it.

I'd like to know what can be done, if any, about the suggestion forms which don't work in Firefox. Every single browser other than Firefox has this thing working perfectly, which is insane. For example if I open Partsouq and I introduce a few VIN numbers in the search box there, those numbers get remembered and later on when I go back there to check a new car part, ilI can juat start typing the first few letter and a suggestion popup would give me ths rest of the VIN, making my life easier in the process. This doesn't work in Firefox. Is there a particular reason this is broken or maybe considered useless? Or maybe there's a flag that needs to be modified to allow this festure to be activated? I'll post 2 screenshots. One will show how it looks in Chrome, where the suggestions work fine and the other shows Firefox which looks as if I hadn't introduced those numbers on there ever before. What can be done about it?

The question is simple: Are there plans for adding timestamps to search history so that one could see on what date they visited that web page just like in Chrome? The date of visit would be enough although it would be even better if there'd be an exact time of refreshing that page. Or are there known add-ons to Firefox for Android that do that? Thank you.

For the last few months Firefox on my android phone has been often (but not always) forcing searches with bing. I have all search options set to Google so this should not be happening and I don't want it. I have no extensions installed at all. I have also turned off studies as I saw reports online that this can sometimes cause the problem I'm having but it makes no difference.
