I have just bumped into this again with a fresh install on a PPP. My previous fix dumping Aris s css fixes for Firefox into the .mozilla folder under home no longer has any effect, I removed the package firefox-esr-mobile-config package which put the address bar etc back at the top.
Then I followed the normal install instructions here https://github.com/Aris-t2/CustomCSSforFx to get Firefox looking the way *I* want it to look.
Whilst spending an hour or so fixing this I had a facepalm moment when I discovered that the command "sudo thunar" does not launch thunar with root access. Root access via the GUI under Linux is something I find exceedingly useful on the odd occasions I wish to use it. My linux phone is starting to feel more like a locked down Android device than a FOSS linux one.
Edit: after reading around I have discovered that the problem of root access for GUI apps is not a feature of Mobian as such but as a result of decisions made by the OS/desktop components that it is based on. Workarounds appear to be available.
