Strange. Mine is below as recently up-dated to FF 131.0. I can drag the back, forwards and extensions icons wherever I please, though feel no need to change them.

If the "Tab Overview" is that downward pointing arrow at the right of the open tabs it's now been replaced with a folder which your screenshot shows. It's not on mine as I deliberately removed it.

Yeah that's the thing, i am on 132.0b2, I wanted to see if i was the only one who experienced this since this new UI makes absolutely no sense, also about the folder you mention, it was there when the tab overview was a thing they are different, anyways should i try reinstalling?

Personally I'd stick to the standard channel where 131.0 is the latest and hope that by the time 132 take its place these problems have been fixed — we also need to hope that they aren't deliberate 'improvements.'

Betas will have problems and people finding them is the point of releasing them but they aren't meant for normal use.

Try Restore Defaults on the Customize page.

Didn't quite restore defaults but i instead did the "Refresh firefox", which has now fixed the UI, i am now on version 132.0b6. Thanks for the suggestion.
