Bring back second bar in Android/Fenix beta

I use Firefox Beta on Android. Recently there was a change so that a second bar appeared on the screen. I have the URL bar at the top of the screen, and suddenly a second bar appeared at the bottom of the screen with back, forward, tab and new tab buttons. I got used to this and really liked it. However it has now disappeared. I am wondering if there is a setting which I can use to get the second bar back, but I don't know where to start looking. Is there changelog for beta releases which I could look at to work out what this bar even was?

Thanks.

Go to About Firefox in Settings and tap Firefox logo 5-6 times. Then go back, there should appear Secret Settings. It should be there.

Thanks, the option exists in nightly, but not beta. I've found the post about the feature, called navigation bar: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/updates-to-android-navigation/m-p/84686
