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.

    I noticed a little folder icon had appeared just recently and that if I clicked it, it… listed all the tabs, so I guess that was the list all tabs button. I actually rather liked it but hadn’t yet trained myself in to the habit of using it. I hadn’t even noticed it’s now gone, but curiously it seems like for me it hasn’t really gone, so much as it’s become a down arrow icon rather than a folder. Sounds like this change is to make it optional, meaning it will otherwise stay there which tracks with my experience, but why has it become a down arrow now?
