After update to firefox 79 I only have the phone design on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 with android 9. I can't switch to the tablet mode and I can't change any settings for tabs because there is no button for tabs in the menu. I don't like that I have to use the counter-icon every time I want to switch to another tab so I want to get the tabs back but every description I find tells to use the tab settings which are not shown in the menue. What can I do?

Does slide left/right on the URL bar to switch tabs work for you?

Hi TyDraniu, thank you for helping! :) Directly sliding left/right on the URL bar has no effect. Before the update was a bar with all open tabs beneath the URL bar which is now missing, there was sliding possible. As I wrote earlier I can't find a way to restore excatly this section.

Comparing the layout with my S9, I think my Tablet is wrongly taken for an smartphone and gets only the settings specified for that kind of device. Is there an way to change that?

No, this code is not ready yet.

Hi TyDraniu, thanks for your answer. I'm sorry to read that - do you know about the approximate time that'll take? Is there any other possibility to get the tabs back?
