A share button has been requested and will be added in a future update. A tabs button has also been requested by other users.

You can visit the issues section in the GitHub repo to see updates about feature requests.

I really appreciate this addon. I was once a user of Opera mobile and this toolbar returns much of the functionality I was missing from that, such as a bottom bar that has page navigation buttons.

One thing that still messes with my muscle memory is the lack of a tabs tray button. I understand why it's not included since firefox already has it on the main toolbar.

Although, main toolbar has a home button, which this toolbar also has, so that does make me wonder if it's alright to add that button.

Regardless, this toolbar has made my browsing experience much better. Thank you very much!

Hi! Thank you for your review and kind words.

The add-on is still in development, and more functionalities will be added. A tab menu has been requested in the GitHub repo; feel free to participate in the comments:

Regarding the home button, the Firefox home button has a different behavior; it always opens new tabs. This add-on's home button replaces the current tab URL. However, you can remove any button and arrange them to your liking on the add-on settings page.

I'm missing the addon "Home Button for FF on android" which doesn't work anymore - this addon is a good replacement!

Very useful addon.
Would it be possible for the new tab button to target "about:newtab" ? I tried it on my own by filling the URL field and it did not work at all.

Hi, thanks for the positive review.

Unfortunately, about:newtab is not supported on the Firefox Android version.

An integrated optional newtab page replacement with shortcuts support is on the roadmap.

Very convenient, adds ability to access your speed dial with one simple button press or any site of your choosing. Toolbar size is customizable and non intrusive.
