Firefox Nightly now has a double-height address bar with only the domain, instead of the full url. And then a non-optional second row with a toolbar containing dedicated back and forward buttons. No option to turn this insanity off...
anyone still using Firefox from the play store is a fool.
the fdroid build removed a lot of insanity Mozilla puts on the Android build for no reason other than being idiots and pleasing shady deals with google
Another victim of copy-Apple-syndrome :( Safari on iOS/iPadOS has been doing this since ages (and I dislike it also there).
I guess the usual Firefox story follows: in the first 3-4 major versions there will be an hidden about:config flag to change it back to the original behavior, and then it gets removed it also, saying that "nobody used it" (because nobody knew it existed).
Yeah. As if URLs are somehow "not for regular people". That only the dorks and nerds could possibly understand such things. The idea that we must hide this type of information both underestimates humanity and undermines the whole concept of the world wide web.
