Where do I give Mozilla feedback about removing the following customization options?
Adding spaces and dividers (seriously my old dividers are still there but I cannot add new ones?)
Showing Bookmarks in folder structure (I have a lot of folders and a lot of bookmarks. Opening each folder everytime I want to use a bookmark takes too much fucking time)
Separating the reload button from the adress bar (and the forward/backward buttons for that matter) Right now that button is the only one on the right side and is a real bitch to click compared to everything else.
I want Mozilla to add those options back in. Where can I get their attention to do so? I was using Firefox for those customization options. Without it I will definately try other browsers.

To add to that the new menu cannot be moved.

Officially, you can give your comments on the Input site. Either:
- Help > Submit Feedback
- https://input.mozilla.org/
To make sure I understand your points:
(1) Adding spaces and dividers
Do you mean on the toolbar? You would need to use the Classic Theme Restorer extension for this. It adds those back into the Customize dialog. You can get a link to the extension in this article: How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox.
(2) Showing Bookmarks in folder structure
Were you previously using the Bookmarks Sidebar? There isn't a separate button for that any more, but you can use one of these to access it:
- Bookmarks toolbar button > View Bookmarks Sidebar
- Ctrl+b
(3) Separating the reload button from the adress bar (and the forward/backward buttons for that matter)
See #1
Thanks for the reply. It is good that those things are still possible. The reason I am upset is that in my opinion there is no good enough reason to limit the customization options in such ways.
EDIT: The addon is far more powerful than I expected it to be. I can even move the menu now. The only thing I cannot really do is move the reload button so I guess I'll just get used to using F5.
still edit: I wrote the following without fully exploring the classic theme restorer addon. So the rest of the post is kind of pointless to read but I will leave it there so if someone writes an angry reply for me being angry he does not look stupid.
{ The main notion behind the update was obviously to make things easier. How would adding dividers, spaces and an extra button for the bookmarks sidebar to the customization menu make things more comlicated?
I can see that the new menu always is on the right side and moving the menu button to the left would be confusing if the menu is on the right still. However I can hardly imagine that it is impossible to attach the menu to the menu button. So why not do that and keep the customizability that made Firefox as big as it is as great as it was before the new version? }

It’s symptomatic of the idiocy that seems to be the rule in Mozilla these days.
What was ever wrong with letting people customise their GUI? What could possibly be wrong with dividers/separators?
It’s fine it they really want to redesign the interface every five minutes, but is it really necessary to take away choice at the same time?
