I'm on Fennec F-Droid which already had it for a while. From my initial experience, this is less ergonomic because I now have to stretch my thumb across the screen to get to some of the options, whereas the old menu kept all the options closer to the right side of the screen where I could more easily reach one handed without shifting my hand.

god i hate this... the current ui is almost perfect :/
I hate it too, and yes the current layout is way better. I'll try it, but I might try other browsers too. I hate that most times a ui for a phone is updated it reduces the number of functions presented, becoming simpler and cartoony. Sometimes a feature or setting you used previously takes longer to get to, sometimes it's gone. (Not firefox for the features being gone entirely part, that I've noticed)
just installed firefox 56 for some nostalgia and indeed it's much better lol. also hella smooth
And very secure :)
Ised it for a while with Nightly, it is such an improvement over the old UI/UX.
so much better
They are also experimenting new tab design. I hope they will also add tab groups.
I really like this new design too. Looks much more up to date and its easier to find the buttons
I loathe this new layout. It hides my extensions which makes them less useful. And, it ruined the address bar. I never thought I'd have to leave Firefox, but they're doing everything they can to make it worse to use.
Can't see what changed
What a friggin’ downgrade.
The mobile version is a joke to begin with, but they’re able to make it worse with every update.

Not a huge fan of adding a "new tab" button to the search bar. Its already super short when your phone is vertical and even worse with the protection thingy icon and reader mode.
~~You can customize it.~~
Nevermind, you can but you can not get rid of that button...
