I'm so happy this exists, since the back/forward buttons were made ridiculously inaccessible on mobile firefox.
I wish it was possible to remove the tab list (leaving only the buttons) but this is fine already.

Thank you for creating this addon. This makes it lot easier to use the browser.

There is a major bug where it display closed tab in the tab bar list. And you can't tap the close button to close it. You have do a page refresh and it will update the tab bar list.

The easiest way I find to reproduce is the following steps.

1. Make Firefox as the default browser in Android.
2. Open Google app.
3. Click on a news link. It should open in a new tab in Firefox
4. In Firefox, do a back gesture to close tab. Now it will switch back to the Google app.
5. Once you are back in Google app, open Firefox and you will the last closed tab display in the tab bar list. You can't tap close button to close it.

Great addon. Would be amazing if u could separate go back, go front, refresh and homebutton from the tab-bar. Should be separate bar for buttons on bottom.

It seems that the extension cannot cover the original bar.It just floats on the other.Maybe I need further instruction.
Despite this，I hold the view that the author did a really good job.Equipped with the extension，the Android Firefox seems to be a real desktop browser when running on Samsung DEX，taken as desktop pattern on my phone.
I appreciate that you provide phone users with such a interesting function.

Ok

Please add an option to display tab on the bottom if possible

This deserves five stars alone because it is the first addon for firefox android which manages to extend the UI specifically that I am aware of. Until I saw this I thought this would not be possible, because on mobile the browser UI elements can't be modified, but using an iframe is a pretty smart workaround indeed.

Some options are missing though and a at least somewhat prettier design would be really nice.
Personally I'd use it on a phone, not a tablet, so options to remove the back, forward, refresh and new tab buttons would almost be required, as well as moving the bar to the bottom of the screen. Further modifying it's height or font size and especially setting an url for the "new tab" button other than google would be great too. That being said, awesome prove of concept, excited to see other creative addons for mobile like this one.

Hi Jan,

I'm interested in your add-on and did everything you said, downloaded the nighty from the Google Play store and went into > Settings > About Firefox Nightly and clicked 5 times on the logo to open the additional settings. There's no "Add-ons" section per-say, just an "Advanced" section and, underneath is "Add-ons" and then "Custom Add-on collection". I clicked on the later and created an add-ons collection entering the info you suggested. When I opened it, it was empty.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Active3 and the add-on section defaults to Add-ons For Android, which is extremely limited in the offerings. This add-on is not listed and when I came to this page it just has a message about going to the Android Add-ons page when I click on Add to Firefox and will not download the extension.

I'm extremely aggravated that Mozilla didn't allow for an option for the user to add a Menu bar as in the desktop version which is why I wanted to try your extension. It's not a menu bar, but it would give some control. I just hate the way Firefox For Android, and specifically the tablet version, is being developed.

Any help/advise would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Jan.

Did exactly that and still nothing. Even reinstalled from Google play. Got a forum thread, post a link here please. Frustrated and I'm not new to this.
