Firefox Mobile's Home Button Replaces Refresh

3 points by nixpulvis 4y ago ↗ HN

I can't find a thread about this already, so here's one. Basically, on the latest version of Firefox Mobile (for iOS), the refresh button, which was directly to the right of the forward and back buttons on the bottom bar (near my thumb), has been awkwardly integrated into the already cluttered URL bar. It's replacement, the home button, is something I almost never use, whereas I refresh quite often.

Am I crazy for thinking this was a bad UI change? Is there a way to fix this myself?

Not crazy. I feel the same about UI changes that deteriorate UX (but then on Android). Still can't properly scroll my open tabs for instance (you first have to scroll down slightly before you can scroll up, otherwise you drag the whole tab list down)
