Why in the world did you change the common tab behaviour? (Update v79)

more options

I recently updated to v79 - big mistake.

First thing I noticed, that my custom search engine was gone and google set instead - goodbye privacy. Annoying, but I can fix this.

Next thing I noticed were the reworked tabs. Why in the world can't I switch tabs as I'm used to? I don't want to tap on the tabs-icon first, then scroll through the list and select the desired tab, when I all want is to switch to the next tab with one tap as I'm used to. Where are my most visited sites, when I click the tabs-icon? This was a very handy feature.

And lastly, why can't I switch back to the old behaviour? Why aren't there any options? Or am I missing something?

Well should be no surprise after all Google has a 40 Million Dollar Deal with Mozilla so they shove their search engine down their users throat.
