    Firefox (Android) vanishing tab bar

    Like an idiot, I let Firefox update, and it appears a "feature" is that the Tab bar down the left hand side now won't stay open.

    And it's driving me absolutely berserk.

    I've spent several hours punishing Google trying to find a solution, and no luck. One suggestion was to toggle browser.chrome.dynamictoolbar to false in about:config, but, on this tablet, it makes no difference.

    So .... any of you experts know how to disable this latest genius wheeze of the Mozilla design morons?

    Or failing that, suggestions for the best browser for Android that isn't Firefox?

    Thanks.

    On Android I find FF much better. Not that you should have said that, because you're about to get a thesis level reply from Saracen about Google and why he won't use Chrome

    That to one side, are you talking about the 'current tabs' menu that you could get from the left by swiping?
    If so, I'm sorry to tell you that even that isn't there on the beta build. It's totally gone. You now access the tabs by scrolling to the top and pressing a button that shows you them.

    I preferred the swipe too, but I'm not sure if this is exactly what you're referring to.
