This is the new UI. The old one was much faster to operate. It was like this: you are in this page, tap the tabs button at the top, the screen with all the open tabs appears, tap + at the same place of the other button and get to the top sites / bookmarks screen. Or tap the URL and get directly there. The new UI takes more taps and I don't understand what that is supposed to improve.

I updated my tablet and my old phone to check the UI. I'm staying on the old Firefox on my main phone, partly because of the UI and 90% because of the add-ons I'm using. Not all of them are available on the new Firefox.

Mozilla self sabotages every few years, then fixes things. Unfortunately they lose users along the way.

Agreed. I see no reason to upgrade to the new UI/versions on android.
The old versions aren't getting security patches. Not sure there's a really good choice here.
