Can no longer see or customize extensions on toolbar!
All of my extensions just got moved into a single new extension button. I understand this feature was just added to 109 but is quite terrible.
I can no longer see my extensions on the toolbar. I now have to do even more clicks to access certain options or settings. Which is dumb as it now takes longer to get where you need to go.
This is a terribly added feature. Not sure how this passed. The quality of life is not improved in any shape or form with this. Only makes things worse.
For example. I have norton safe web and search. I now have to click on the extension button to see if a page is safe or now have to do multiple clicks to access that extension.
This new feature is terrible and I really hope it is reverted.

Seems there is a workaround found here which fixes the issue:

Sooner or later that change will stop your extensions or some of them working. The preference was previously set to true and that stopped all my extensions working even before I updated to Firefox 109.

Whether they work or not was not the point of this post. Its the point that mozilla should not be putting all extensions into 1 button where it takes longer to access them and you can no longer see them working. Updates should improve the browser. Not make it less useful or longer to do something that would normally take 1 click.
Anyway, your reply does nothing helpful. All my extensions still work so they are updated to MV3 already.
The workaround solves the issue and it looks like many others on the link I provided feel the same way. So hopefully the decision to make all extensions in one button will be removed and we will be able to customize the toolbar with them again.
