The "Share" menu has changed and is now less useful? Why was that done?
Hi Folks,
The previous Firefox "Share" menu was very helpful. It presented a number of options for sharing a website. I used it all the time to send websites via email. It was very simple — click on "Share", select "Email" from the drop-down menu, and a new email would open in Thunderbird with the title of the website in the subject area and a link to the website in the text area. Very handy.
But now (I assume as a result of a Firefox update) to get to "Email" I have to go to the "Share" drop-down menu and click on "Airdrop, Messages and More..." (see attached) and then select "Mail" in a small window that appears (see attached). Clicking on "Mail" opens a new email in Thunderbird but unlike previously, the new email has nothing in the "Subject" area (although thankfully, as with the previous "Share" process, the text window does show a link to the website being shared (see attached).
This doesn't make sense to me. The previous "Share" was a quick and easy one-step process, and now it's a more cumbersome two-step process, but the real annoyance is that the subject box of the new email is blank, so one has to go through the process of copying the name of the website or the news headline or whatever, and then pasting it into the new email's subject box. All this seems to be retrogressive. Is there a reason or reasons for the "Share" process to have been changed? And might Mozilla be persuaded to change it back?
Thanks for considering my plea! :)
