Firefox Android has a new stupid menu (discuss.tchncs.de)

I'm not one to usually diss new UI changes, but this one grinds my gears.

Firefox for Android has released a new menu design. It organizes everything a little differently, which is alright it looks fresh. But 2 things are really annoying and a continuous design trend in Firefox.

The option to open page in external app has been tucked away in a sub menu. I used this often and it was in the top level menu before. Companies just love hiding things in menus for no reason.
the option to open a private tab as a normal tab is GONE. This is how I use Firefox: someone sends me a link, I click on it and it opens in a private tab by default. If I need to sign in to see it (e.g. private Instagram links) then I open it in a normal tab. This option is now simply gone.

So yeah that's my rant. I'll see if I open a bug requesting the 2nd issue back.

Wait what? Was there ever an option to open a private tab as a normal tab?? 🤔 I'd love to have that, but thought it would never get added. What version were you on before (and in which one are you now)?

Yes, it's right there in the menu. It's been there for years on android.

I'm either being very dense right now, or I don't have that o.I How is it called, or where is it located next to?

I think in another comment they mentioned that this was only in Nightly?
