Unable to rearrange tabs on Firefox Nightly for Android.

Previously I was able to rearrange the tabs in Firefox Nightly for Android in what ever order I wanted. This appears to no longer be the case after I updated it. I am asking to see if this is a bug, or said feature was removed on purpose.

Devs say that they're rewriting the Tabs Tray and new code contain some known bugs. You can turn off the changes by enabling Secret settings and disabling the setting called "Enable Tabs Tray to Compose". You can unlock the Secret Settings page by going to Settings -> About Firefox Fenix -> tap on the logo at the top 5 times.

updated* it seems I accidentally added an extra e.

Edit: I figured out how to edit the original post to correct the spelling mistake. Though it seems I am unable to delete this reply.

Edit 2: perhaps the Edit button should be placed under the 3 dot menu like how it is to edit replies? For a minute I thought that I wasn't able to edit my original post due to it not being there.

I guess it's a bug. I filed the bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1845692

Yeah unfortunately I don't have this option?

But you have Secret Settings in Nightly?

It took me a minute to find it.

All the way at the bottom of the now expanded settings screen, in the About section there's a literal "Secret Settings" option that opens another screen.

Works as described. Thank you.
