Firefox has not received any updates since January 6, when version 84.0.2 was released, but the button appeared overnight for many users on Tuesday, January 19.
Third, the button appeared out of nowhere on many users' browsers. Right-clicking the button shows a context menu where the 'Delete' option is grayed out.
Second, it's the fact that there isn't a way to remove the button. The button reduces the width of the bookmarks toolbar, meaning users can fit fewer items on their bookmarks toolbar, which is crucial browser real estate. Its role is to show other bookmarks that users have saved in Firefox.Īll fine and dandy, but the new button was unnecessary because Firefox already had a Bookmarks section where users could view their bookmarks, easily accessible through the browser's menu.įurthermore, there are many other negative effects of the new button. The new button appears to the right of the Firefox bookmarks toolbar.
