Firefox users criticized the permanent ‘List All Tabs’ button introduced in version 131.0, leading Mozilla to make it removable.
The button, designed to manage hidden tabs and prevent add-ons from hiding them, received backlash for being unnecessary alongside Firefox View.
Mozilla responded with a fix in version 131.0.3, allowing users to remove the button through toolbar customization.
the problem is probably actually that it consumed additional space, instead of being kept on the new tab button’s right click menu
It was there and “consumed space”. It was just a less noticeable icon before (dark grey downwards-facing chevron).
