Changing tab order/hierachy

Hello everyone,

after the most recent update for Firefox on Android, the order of the tabs have kinda changed (for the worse in my opinion). When I open a new tab, it is over the older one, which is kinda weird for me. Is there a way to change it back to the old order, where new tabs will be BELOW the older one?

Thank you all in advance.

No this is not possible. Sadly. Slowly while reading the other threads here, I honestly consider to switch to Google Chrome for Android. They only did crap with that version.

- First they started advertising their "moz://a" Blog. I mean okay, own company advertising. Okay. - Then they added this pocket news list to the new tab page. Really annoying as especially in German only news outlets of one particular political group are listed there. So much for neutrality. - Then they started Firefox Sync and probably want all users to switch to it. - Now they introduced a "new" android browser with less features. If you had a master password? All your passwords are gone. Tablist? Reversed. Addressbar? Bottom of the page.

I really don't know where they are going but I suspect there will be a Youtube Video in some years titled "Firefox demise" where they look back to the good old times when Firefox still existed.

The whole reason I use Firefox over, say, Edge is that Firefox didn't force anything upon me. Edge is really annoying in its marketing. It's just sad that Firefox is on the best way to become the new edge, as even Google Chrome gives me more freedom now (how ironic)
