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

Please stop fixing things that aren't broken! I just installed the new version of Firefox for Android and I hate having tabs strewn across the the top of the screen. Many of them are personal and private and I want them hidden from view. The previous version of fox for Android work just fine for me, this one doesn't. Is it possible to remove them from you?

I use Firefox instead of apps for everything. And do often have 5-10 tabs open. Phone: poco x7 pro 8GB Android: 16 This problem is not present in my older phone.(Android 13) It clears the tabs, whenever Firefox is sent to the background. That means all the tabs have to be reloaded. That means battery consumption, data consumption, delay, losing my place in videos ( I watch YouTube on Firefox too) . I am willing to do anything short of rooting the phone.

It used to be that when I clicked ctrl+tab in the browser it would move through my tabs. Now, instead of moving to the next tab, it pops up a thumbnail preview and scrolls through those, instead. This is not useful to me. Is there any way to either revert the behavior or is there a new keyboard shortcut to quickly move to the next tab?

Tab groups work well with the standard tab bar, but when changing to vertical tabs, there is no clear way to expand the menu (aka hit the 'V' at the right of the tab bar for horizontal tabs) to see the tab group.

The only fix i found was to turn off vertical tabs, open the tab group, then turn on vertical tabs again.

(RU)Вопрос и предложения

Здрасьте дорогие разработчики

у вас есть функция, split-screen. Это круто! сделайте, пожалуйста, чтобы это могло включаться через контекстное меню(правая кнопка мышки), чтобы я навел мышку на ссылку и в контекстной меню выбрал этот пункт. чтобы я не через вкладки это делал, а через контекстное меню.

(EN) Questions and suggestions

Hello, dear developers.

You have a split-screen feature. That's awesome! Please make it accessible through the context menu (right-click), so I can hover over a link and select it from the context menu. So I can do it through the context menu instead of through tabs.

This isn't a feature I ever needed or ever wanted. More than often, I accidentally group two or more tabs and have no idea how to ungroup them (yes, I know, there's some about:studies where I can remove stuff from grouped, BUT it's not a good mitigation). Firefox has been a great browser for decades. This new "feature" is rather disturbing than helpful. I understand some folks might need it, but please, at least provide a way to OPT OUT. Thank you!

First of all, I hope this is the correct place for this feedback. The release announcement page seems to link here, but I'm not totally sure. If not, could you direct me to the correct location?

After I overcame the initial "hey, I didn't want that changed, put it back" phase, I have to say I really like the new design. Especially the overhang menu (the the vertical dots) is much better.

However, there are a few things, that could be improved, I believe.

  1. Make the tabs list respect the URL bar top/bottom setting. That would be great for people like me, who regularly close all taps and usually have only 2-3.
  1. The same goes for the tabs within the tabs list (private / synced buttons).
  1. The buttons at the bottom of the tabs list (new tab and the vertical dots) feel visually unbalanced.

Thank you, and have a great evening.

PS: please also note that I'm quite confused on what version I'm on now. This page, the browser and the Playstore all say 147, but I have the changes mentioned in the 148 release notes. Is this one of the remote improvements mentioned by the release notes?

EDIT: Nevermind. Update fixed the issue!

As of today, when I drag left or right on the screen in the browser, it tries to switch between next/previous tabs. This happens even if there's a web app I'm using that allows for click-and-drag functionality. I can't find a setting to turn this feature off.

I just opened Firefox on my Win 11 pc, and find all my tabs have gone. The setting to reopen last session is active, as before. I think FF updated itself earlier today.

Recently updated to Windows 11 after Windows 10 stopped getting supported. After putting down several smaller issues on my own, I can encountered something I cannot fix on my own. Currently, I cannot detach, reattach, move tabs (With the exception of moving tabs with the right click menu). I could do all of these on Windows 10. I have already tried the browser.tabs.allowTabDetach setting in about:config to no success. I am starting to suspect it is a problem with windows versus a problem with Firefox because of an earlier bug where I couldn't move the windows entirely without enabling the Snap Windows function in my settings.
