Some more:

- In the previous version when you search something in the URL bar you could long tap the search suggestions to insert them into the URL bar for editing. Gone.

- To open a new tab you have to open the tab selection with the icon on the top (or bottom) of the screen and then tap the "+"-icon in the middle of the screen. In the previous version you could just double tap the icon.

- No way to create a new search shortcut from a search box on a website. You have to manually enter a URL containing a %s. No way to search with POST forms.

- They removed the option to hide the microphone icon in the URL bar

Out of curiosity, how come you have ‘+’ in the middle of the screen? Standard behavior for ‘material design’, which FF seems to follow for me, is to have such floating buttons at the bottom right.

That appears to be back, at least in ‘Nightly’. There's a toggle called ‘show voice search’ in the search settings.

You're right, the "+"-icon is on the bottom (which is even worse). I got it confused with closing a tab, the tab-list starts in the middle of the screen.
