IMHO it's definetly a hard break with the past design.
But it looks more mature and not as 'shy'.

    For whatever it's worth, you can enable a movable tab bar in Firefox Nightly for Android.

    This will force the tab and omnibar to the top of the screen, however.

    Woah I was literally just commenting that I miss that expanded toolbar layout. Unfortunately that option isn't visible yet in my Nightly, but this indicates that it might not be gone forever, awesome!

    Edit: Just enabled Secret Settings and now I have back my beloved toolbar! It's a bit chunkier than it used to be, but still neat.

    Edit 2: ah, and no back/forward buttons, that's a shame. I'd prefer those over the bookmark button.

    Yep, bookmark feels like something no one needs with any regularity.

    In the Secret Settings it was named something like "Composable toolbar", so perhaps we'll get the ability to customise the contents later.

    Nightly has this so I assume it will come to Firefox sooner or later.

    If the part you dislike is having to manually download updates, then this might be a solution: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater
