For whatever it's worth, you can enable a movable tab bar in Firefox Nightly for Android.
This will force the tab and omnibar to the top of the screen, however.
Don't forget this too
Woah I was literally just commenting that I miss that expanded toolbar layout. Unfortunately that option isn't visible yet in my Nightly, but this indicates that it might not be gone forever, awesome!
Edit: Just enabled Secret Settings and now I have back my beloved toolbar! It's a bit chunkier than it used to be, but still neat.
Edit 2: ah, and no back/forward buttons, that's a shame. I'd prefer those over the bookmark button.
Yep, bookmark feels like something no one needs with any regularity.
In the Secret Settings it was named something like "Composable toolbar", so perhaps we'll get the ability to customise the contents later.
It's just because it's the toolbar rewritten in Jetpack Compose rather than the old one which was written with XML and used a custom parser.
Ah! That makes sense
Neat! seems I need to update!
There's also some new secret settings for the new toolbar.
Ah! That may be why I don't see it 😓
