I absolutely hate the redesign, having the new tab button in the middle makes no sense, the corner is way easier to tap, having the individual tabs be taller makes them take up more space while looking worse and the tab selector takes up the whole screen, so I can't see the tab I was on.

For context, this is what it was like before:

New update dropped this morning the UI is now the new one consistently... I preferred the old but at least it's not weirdly switching back and forth between them now

And IceRaven similarly but has tab enhancement disabled by default

Is it still possible to switch back to the old one? I really don't see why they feel the need to make this change.

EDIT: Just updated to Fennec 148, and it looks like my reversion to the old menu held. I'm assuming that they'll nuke this option a release or two from now. They should keep both options.

Who knows... It's easier to maintain one version but the fact that it's in the secret options makes me think it'll stay as a toggle
