The latest update of Firefox for Android (130.0 (Build #2016041319)) removed the ability to swipe away the "Tab Closed Undo" bar that shows up when closing a tab.

If a user closes the last tab, a purple-ish bar appears at the bottom of the screen that reads "Tab Closed" on the left and "Undo" in a different font on the right. In previous versions of Firefox for Android a user could swipe away this bar to make it go away. In the current version that is no longer possible and I would really appreciate having that back.

(Honestly I would actually really appreciate never seeing the bar since I can access closed tabs via the History and I really dislike the bar.)

I enjoy using Firefox for its clarity, security, and overall performance. However, on my Android tablet, switching between tabs can be difficult. I would love to have a tab bar at the top, similar to the desktop version, for easier access to specific tabs. The current swipe gesture to change tabs is useful but doesn't allow me to see all open tabs at a glance. Additionally, I’d appreciate an extension for auto-refreshing tabs and a setting for desktop view, so that when I enable it, all tabs—including future ones—open in desktop mode. However, it should still be possible to switch individual tabs back to mobile view if needed.

Thanks Subhankar

Firefox Mobile reloads tabs automatically

Since I am on my new Phone (Xiaomi Poco F6, Hyper OS 1.0.4.0, Android 14.UKQ1.240116.001), I have this weird thing with Firefox that when I minimize it and then come back a few seconds later, it will automatically reload the tab I was on. Which is extremely annoying because, for example, I was on the Paypal page and was getting my login code from messages, then when I got back on the Paypal page it reloaded and I could not insert the code, but had to click on 'send code' again (and again and again). I saw this issue appear multiple times apparently already on reddit and co. But nowhere I could find an answer to it. Someone? I looked in the battery saver settings and in firefox settings etc, but I can't find anything that makes tabs reload automatically and it makes no sense that anything would clear the cache every time I minimize firefox, no?
