The last update seems to have added yet another unnecessary click to access a pinned site (whatever it's called).

It used to be "click on the url bar -> click big site preview", now it's "click on the tab counter -> click the plus icon -> click to dismiss some overlay -> click small site icon".

Thanks Mozilla, I hate it.

Yeah, it's not great. But you can get to "new tab" by longpressing the tab counter thingy. Yep, I noticed it by accident.

Ha, not bad, it puts the action where you finger is already on the screen and it removes on step (the url/search overlay).

Thanks !

Same think with sharing button, also added a significant delay to the sharing menu for good measure.
