Woke up this morning to find that Firefox Nightly has finally removed the separate navigation bar on mobile, apparently due to an overwhelmingly negative user response. But it was a feature I really enjoyed using, being the closest non-Chromium setup I could find similar to Samsung Internet, and would like to re-enable if possible.

Does anyone know if there are any extensions or other add-ons for FF mobile which enable any sort of nav bar layout or similar? Or is my only recourse to grab the previous version of the APK and stay on that until I can find a better alternative?

Example screenshots included if anyone is not sure what I am describing.

    I always set the address bar to the bottom of the screen so I get everything (search bar, tabs button, backwards, etc) in an accessible place.

      Seems like back, forward, share, and refresh are still buried in the context menu, though. It’s more button presses.

      Would also love to have “Find on page” face up.
