Firefox android is shit now.

Removing the tabs bar on android in favour of a stupid button that opens a new overlay with all the open tabs, unable to use most addons and swipe to refresh which activates 99 out of 100 times by accident are the first few that come to mind.

All three should be a user choice

You can use a handful of add-ons with default Firefox for Android, otherwise you can use whatever add-ons you want in Firefox Nightly/Fennec/Iceraven through setting up collections. You can disable pull to refresh in settings.

...I like the tab button...

Yeah the whole setting up an account to then need to make a collection of addons to then login to the account to use them on the browser is a whole lot of fucking around though isn't it. And downloading a different version of the same program to do it is even worse and nonsense I'm not dealing with. Just a perfect example of how shit it got by turning a one button process into a whole bunch of bullshit.
