    Sadly, the new design^Wabomination from #Mozilla landed to the new release of #IronFox (148.0.1) on the Android :drgn_cry_loud:

    Instead of damn simple and concise main menu, I forced to see a gigantic panel now. Like I don't have fingers — I have a ten sausages instead.

    And rounded things, rounded things everywhere! Because this is a redesign in sake of redesign — it is not customizable and I can't switch back to rectangular things in the settings :drgn_knife_angry:

    Luckily, at least for now, I'm still able to revert this shitty designer vomit. Because you know, I'm not so young dragon, so I remember the eons when it was valuable — do not break user habits by constantly changing the UI layout and UI elements (read the fucking Palm Design Guidelines, for example).

    The recipe:
    1) Go to: IronFox main menu — Settings — About IronFox
    2) Tap a lot of times to the big IronFox logo. The text "Debug menu enabled" should appear on the screen for a few seconds
    3) Go to: IronFox main menu — Settings — Secret Settings
    4) Disable the next items: "Enable Menu Redesign", "Enable Composable Toolbar"

    Done! You are free from "new UI", which forcefeeded to users of Firefox (and forks) by Mozilla (again) :drgn_sparkle:

    Screenshot of mobile Firefox — top part of the window. The main toolbar now has a rounded input textbox and an additional plus button at the right, eating the precious screen space.
    Screenshot of the new main menu of mobile Firefox. It takes near all the screen now and has an enormously big and rounded menu items and buttons.
    The screenshot of "Secret settings" menu in mobile Firefox. Some items are highlighted by big red rectangle and disabled.

Disabled items: "Enable menu redesign" and "Enable composable toolbar".

There some other options but they are inactive and disabled too, since they are depndent on the mentioned two options.
