Recent Firefox Update Took Away Ability to Email Link
Firefox 89.0 no longer has the three dots at the end of the URL in the address bar. That is where the option to "email link" was in older versions. Do I have to install an addon now if I want to email a link?

Hi,
As of Firefox 89, the meatball/thre-dots/page action menu was removed from the URL bar and the options were moved to either tab context menu or the page context menu. Here is how you can find alternative ways to access the various options from the old page action:
- Bookmark Current Tab: You can click the "star" icon to save the page as bookmark. Alternatively, you can right-click on the tab and choose Bookmark Tab.
- Save Page to Pocket: You can add the Save Page to Pocket menu to Toolbar from the Customize Tool menu.
- Pin Tab: Right-click on the tab and choose Pin Tab.
- Copy Link: Click on the URL bar and press (Ctrl+C) for Windows and Linux or (command+C) for Mac.
- Email Link: You can add the Email Link button to the Toolbar from the Customize tab.
- Take Screenshot: Right click on the empty part of a page and choose Take Screenshot. More about that: Take screenshots in Firefox.
- Send Tab to Device: Right-click on the tab and choose Send Tab to Device.
- Share: Right click on the tab and choose Share.

Thank you for the prompt response!
I don't like this change/relocation... but I am glad to know the function was not eliminated. I use the SEND TO DEVICE constantly throughout my day/night - and the trigger (triple-dots) was simple trigger-clicks to use, versus a right-click dialog as it is now.
