Since I left Opera when it went Chromium around 2005, I was a very happy firefox user.

The new update added a button 'List all tabs' on my toolbar, that I cant remove without some css magic. I tried, and tried to get use to it. I cant. It distract me all the time, I have no use for it. And I dont have the patience to do the css editing needed to hide it. Plus, this is the second time I cannot easily customize FF (first time was when they forced some round edge Tab for no reason and no easy rollback), so I suppose the browser is toast for me.

For PC. What do you recommend for a change?

I recall at a time using some browser build on Firefox , "BlueFox" (ed:WaterFox) or something like that. Are those still operational? I just need a my speedial customisable And all the menu button to be removed/added. And firefox addon: uBlock, Yesscript, Cookie autodelete ... Dont care for speed, or whatever.

On a side note: WTF with those browser deciding what we want? They can allow us to customize any layout, so why force some fucking button I never asked for? I dont see the endgame

I would recommend waiting at least one more release. This might be just the type of change where they were so focused on all the different states between vertical and horizontal tabs, collapsed or not, etc., and just forgot about the situation where you want the button to not be there.

By now they've probably had a bunch of bug reports about it, and might focus on adding that functionality in the next release, just four weeks later.

You are right. I will wait. I start getting used to it (less infuriated each time my eye catch that ugly button, at least). Still pretty stupid to have that huge button on my toolbar.. now that I think about it , it even take the place of one more visible tab

Waiting pays off!

Fixed an issue where the "List all tabs" button was not able to be moved from the toolbar. (Bug 1918681)

great! good FF!

And they get it back to a small downward arrow.. which was here prior, and never bothered me.

The problem with the new button was it size, and the fact it looked like a tab on its own.
