Firefox designers out to lunch?
Tried to send feedback on the supid move of close other/to right tabs off main right click menu and got this:
Please check back soon
We've paused submissions to this form so that we can improve how we collect feedback.
So now they not only won't listen to their users, remove all the complaints about UI changes we DON'T want or have any need for, now they don't even accept feedback. Guess they were overwhelmed.
Sheesh.
Frustrated Firefox user from Netscape v1.something (.7?). Time to move to Opera and leave Firefox to the idiots that don't know how or can't use a mouse to click the right option on a menu that "they" say is the reason for the moving of the options to a sub menu. At least they could give us an OPTION to put it back where it belongs. Ditto for the "megabar" stupidity that BLOCKS the view of my bookmarks toolbar!!!!
Chosen solution
The changes to the tab context menu were made in Firefox 78 five months ago, and there has been plenty of feedback about them.
There isn't any built-in way to customize the context menus. If you use one or both of those commands so often that this is a big pain for you, there are some add-ons for that -- the restored item will be in the bottom section of the menu with other extension commands:
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/close-tabs-right/
- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/close-other-tabs-menu/
Do you want help with the enlarging address bar?

No reason MORE feedback shouldn't be made regarding their disregard for usability.
So... what about their feedback page being "down"?
Found the workaround to disable the megabar already,thanks.
Here is some more info on the changes underway to feedback. Not sure what any of us can do to help speed the process.

Meanwhile, here are some other places to communicate with Mozilla about products:
- Mozilla Discourse: https://discourse.mozilla.org/
If none of the categories seem to fit, try https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/firefox-development - Reddit (monitored by Mozilla): https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/
- Twitter (Mozilla official): https://twitter.com/firefox
Thanks.
Again, pretty dumb to shut down a website before the replacement in up and running. Imagine if Microsoft or Apple did that?
AND, the static page could at LEAST provide the info in the discourse page. DUH.
I'm SO frustrated with Firefox after using it and proselytizing to others to use it for SO long but the designers and developer's apparent disregard for actual users (and I don't mean dumbing it down for people who can't apparently use a mouse) continue to lead me away from using it as my default browser, as well as no long telling others to use it (I'm a computer consultant and have been for 30 years so you can imagine the number of people I've turned on to Firefox).
