New update (91) has attachments for outgoing messages on the bottom of the window. This is OK for Inbox, but for outgoing it's too easy to miss.

I have a strong preference for the Top Right placement like it was before. For anyone with QHD+ (and even 1080p) resolution, that portion of the UI is empty in 98% of cases. It may look slightly prettier, but I'm not sure what type of *functional* advantage you're gaining by moving attachments to the bottom like you did in this latest update (91). Function is all I, and likely most of your users, care about.

If your UX designers are stuck on this move, can we at least get an option in setting to move it back to Top Right in a future update?

Thanks!

There is no plan to provide such an option https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1731186.

In fact there are plans to further enhance the views at the bottom.

The attachments pane is a VERY useful tool. WHY has it been deleted? It should be reinstalled as soon as possible.

If you personally hate it, make it an option so that those of us who use it a lot can still be productive and if you don;t like it you can remove it.
