I was disappointed to see this functionality removed. It was faster and easier to use before the change.
Oh, some users suggested me to remove this feature, even an AMO reviewer, I was rejected to full review because
If the user clicks the button when the UserAgent is not selected, the menu panel is closed - should be displayed menu or as I suggest a panelview. Now for display menu with UserAgents user have to click triangle. So please correct this issue or inform users on add-on page that for choose UserAgent user have to click triangle next to the icon.
And exist two methods to enable/disable make user confuse, and also a bit pain to maintain the code.
So, won't fix.
See this popular extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nimbus-screenshot/ for a way to use the drop-down arrow for a menu, but still have functionality assigned to the main button.
It is not technology problem, it is design.
If I'm understanding that AMO reviewer correctly (their verbiage is not clear), they don't want a toggle button to act like a toggle button; they want it to act like the drop-down button. That is contrary to the design of every Firefox extension I've ever tested or designed. I think they are leading you down the wrong path.
Extensions that have a drop-down button typically use the main button as a toggle, and use the drop-down button to show the drop-down menu. Otherwise, there is no purpose to the drop-down button.
Please re-add the ability to click on the icon to quickly toggle the extension on / off.
