iOS: Switching tabs with gestures

more options

Hi.

I like to switch tabs in the iOS app with some gesture. Is that possible?

The only thing I found in the documentation is that some keybinding exists, but I do not have a keyboard attached to my phone.

I also found some old request and some Reddit posts that swiping the address bar would do the trick. This did not work for me.

I am hoping for something like a three finger swipe anywhere, but have not spent much thought on a perfect UI integration.

I love to learn how to make switching TABs by gesture work.

Thank you for your work! Oliver

Chosen solution

Ok, swiping is on the address bar, not on what I considered the navigation bar. And it only works if the address bar is at the bottom.

That is bad because if the “navigation bar” is hidden, it can be easily confused with the switch apps gesture.

I will file a bug.

I see that it was introduced in Firefox 143.2 but that does not work for me. What have I misconfigured? What additional information can I provide?

Hi, I don't have this app, but the release notes say it's in progressive rollout. However devs say that it should be enabled for everyone.
