Reverting swipe to discard tab difficulty on Android

After some update on Android Firefox, discarding tab by swiping to right (on List mode) has become so much more difficult that it messes with the flow and makes me consider switching browser. Is there a way to maybe tweak some configs to change it back or even a way to downgrade the Firefox?

Thanks for the response, the bug seems to be related but not applicable to my issue. The issue I'm having is that it has become more difficult to swipe to discard tab in the list mode. I assume it is because of the complaints of accidental closing of tab but I now have to swipe from more than halfway which didn't use to be the case. Is there a way to regulate this? I could not find any idea about having an option to regulate the swiping level (as in having to swipe from 100% the way vs 50% etc.)

Edit: Upon reading the 'idea', basically the changes mentioned in it are the cause of the issue. Thanks
