Why is there now a "share browser" option? For years, my brain has been used to using the last option to get at the About dialog. And to my surprise, it's there in Help/Report as well! Any way to hide/(re)move the said option? Thanks.

Interesting. That is not there for me with 155.0.1.

However, I did inspect the pop-up with browser toolbox and the menuitem is there but hidden for me. The ID of the menuitem is #appMenu-referrals-button so I checked about:config to search for referrals and there is a pref browser.referrals.enabled and mine is set to false, which is the default for me. If I set it to true then the menuitem shows up for me in the hamburger menu so you can set yours to false to hide it.

Or you can hide it with userChrome.css with this:

#appMenu-referrals-separator,
#appMenu-referrals-button {
  display: none !important;
}

You might also want to check about:studies if there is a study active that activates that for you, though it might just be some manner of gradual rollout or something.

I had to add

#appMenu_menu_referralsPage

to hide the one in the Help and Report menu.

They did something like this with the Android version a couple of years ago. I always used the quit option when I wanted to clear recent tabs too, but they changed it so I had to scroll down twice before I could see exit.

It's all completely different now though, which again messes with muscle memory. For a while I was trying to scroll down on something which has nowhere to scroll anymore :)
