What do you think about the new menu of Firefox Android? (lemmy.ml)

IMHO it's definetly a hard break with the past design.
But it looks more mature and not as 'shy'.

              Yes, FFA's autopick for the home screen shortcuts is terrible, but easily circumvented by manually pinning my preferred sites.
I never experienced this and I pass a radio hole daily. Even if, killing Firefox should be enough instead of a full reboot.
about:config is available in Nightlies and the Fennec/Ironfox forks.
FFA has this wallpaper feature for years.

• The manually pinned literally sink somewhere behind the repeatedly pinned links from other sites, so manually is pointless. • If "force stop" and then start FFA were enough, I wouldn't mention phone reboot. • Never heard of those but I'll definitely try them. Thanks for the info. • If it does, I'never found it in the settings. Or, for whatever reason, it doesn't appear on Xiaomi phones.

Reading Hadriscus' comment below ours from 2 weeks ago, looks like the reason I abandoned the desktop FF (and went for a fork) has been moved to FFA - enorcing their view on what's best for the user without giving the user the option to revert what they have done. Do I have to say this behavior which famous corp. reminds me of or will Mozilla think of it themselves?
