Firefox for Android Community Forum

I have an issue in that, upon pressing the three-dot menu button on mobile, the browser menu is suddenly popping up from the bottom of the screen instead of sliding in from the side like it's supposed to, as well as what used to be a nice and neat list of options now being a cluster of hard-to-make-out icons and buttons. I didn't change anything in the settings to make it do this (I very specifically selected the "top" display option when I first downloaded Firefox months ago and haven't touched it since), and I've already checked reddit to see if anyone else is having this problem and if so, how to return my menu's behavior and appearance to normal (no luck).

I unfortunately have no images of what my menu is supposed to look like as it never occurred to me something like this could happen, but I can at least provide a screenshot of the ugly way it looks now (notice the little bar at the top of it that suggests I'd be able to "drag" it back to its correct placement? Yeah, it doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold my finger on it.) PLEASE tell me what can be done to undo this awful change and return my menu to normal!

When adding a bookmark on Android, I used to be able to sort bookmark order within folders by custom sort, A-Z, and age. Recently (as of 148.0 (Build #2016144279)), the folder menu when adding a bookmark is now different, but the sort options no longer work.

I'm making a post here before making one on Mozilla Connect, in the hopes this bug can be passed on to a developer.

Android 16 phone, Fennec v148.0.0

When I simply want to save the page I am on to my bookmarks, I press the Bookmarks icon, then I go to the destination folder, and there I have several icons but no option to save.

The old menu is more user friendly and everything shows up. Unlike the new menu where you have to search for stuff. Please incorporate an option to choose between menus.

I noticed the UI changed for Firefox for Android and part of that change is there's a slight delay/transition when opening menus or navigating between settings.

May I ask for a toggle that disables the transition so menus open immediately, like the Extensions and More dropdowns do? It would feel intuitive for it to be in the Customize options.

Right now I'm on FFfA 148.0 (Build #2016144279), not sure which version I was on before. It's not the biggest issue but does add a bit of friction to the user experience, I've got muscle memory for being able to refresh faster than I can now.

The new UI's been great otherwise!

Most times when I go to a new page via a link, I go to scroll down on the new page but the page refreshes with the circle up top instead. I have to cancel the refresh with scrolling upward to cancel the refresh before scrolling down to view the content. Its a very annoying bug and I bet alot of users are having the same issue too.

Thanks

A notification dot in the UI has been added for Firefox android which is visible from the main screen and does not respect notification settings.

The settings to disable notifications and disallow notification dots does not prevent the notification dot on the settings buttons.

An example screenshot can be found on Reddit.

I've used Firefox a long time on different platforms, bookmarks get duplicated, irrelevant and numerous for the same websites.

When I try to rationalize them the workflow does not allow me to easily bin the superfluous ones without opening the site and then only removes the title not the web address.

The computer work flow is much better but as mobiles are now more frequently used as main devices, would it not be sensible to change this behaviour for a better workflow?

How do I make this horribel change occured to my browser??

It was okay, fhen it changed into

this

thing and it reverted itself and I was happy

then it's like this again

It has no sense, You must have to use 2 hands at same time to browse with this new UI, it actively tries to lure you into unwanted function. I am unhappy.

Okay FIREFOX, update 2/29/2026

1) making complaints to this browser is a nightmare, you guys need to actually do something about making it easier to contact actual support.

2) Firstly, this latest UI update is literally a scam. If you're going to make such a change after years of the same UI being around, users should be well aware of that before the update rolls in.

Secondly, this menu UI should have been an opt-in/out service, NOT DEFAULT. Users should have the option to not use a feature that is actively hostile to a MOBILE experience. That means less button pushing required to speedily access saved content. The current way this menu pops up puts nonsense on top before the actually important parts, namely bookmarks access.

3) bookmarks (specifically CREATING BOOKMARKS). While normal bookmarks access looks the same, creating them is a monster in this app.

This newest iteration sucks, to put it frankly. Where before, the process was simply running down the list to choose the right folder (all those folders & subfolders were already extended), now it requires us to extend and extend and extend and extend. In what world did you guys think this was useful for a mobile phone? Mobile does not lend itself to multiple presses, that's by design.

You guys are making this app look more and more like desktop, and that's a bad design and worse feature for mobile experiences.

Please either update this UI to allow for the legacy design (opt-in/out), or change it back entirely. Right now this app is trudging downwards to an experience people do not want to use.

Attached are screenshots of the current 3dot menu drop-down and the creation/editing of bookmarks. Too much noise for what was actually useful design on the legacy UI.

For laptop and mobile, All open tabs between all synced devices, are all just in a list right when you click on or press on Firefox.. also, just have all the devices current history listed under that..and, AND... Can I take it one step farther and have them listed on all the New tabs when I click the new tab cross? Basically making "Firefox View" the homepage for all devices, I was gonna just create a shortcut webut when I click on "FV" no link comes up... Also possibly a "copy and paste clipboard" option across devices. Thanks in advance for any time this could save me and others in the future... also, This question seems logical that's it's may been asked a hundred dozen times before already, but I did search my summary
