Firefox for Android Community Forum

Where did background playback go? I can’t even use the phone with one hand, and suddenly I can’t fit more than six tabs in there? What are you doing with this browser? I have Firefox on Android set as an unrestricted app, yet it started closing my tabs anyway. What are you doing with this browser?

How do I revert the update that was forced onto my that changed the window where I view tabs of different pages? It has completely changed and it's frustrating and I do not understand it. I wanted to go back to the style it was. I am not very versed in technology and changes like this make things unusable for me.

The 149 update made the tab previews much larger and even though that is probably a great change for people with vision problems, I find the extra space it takes up annoying as I tend to have a lot of active tabs and it makes it harder to scroll through them all. Is there a way to change the size of the tab previews or better yet, turn them off completely? I honestly prefer how the inactive tabs menu just has the text title of the page.

Is there any way to revert the new UI changes in Firefox for Android Mobile? The 3 dots are barely visible, the tabs in grid view are huge and take a lot of effort with thumb movement to scroll through. We now have a lot less visible pages.

After a recent update, I've found the swipe to delete function extremely cumbersome to use. it used to be that i could quickly swipe a tab and it would reliably get deleted. now, it doesn't delete the tab unless I move my finger further than what's comfortable while gripping my phone one handed. I basically only use the x icon now since swiping is so inconsistent.

In previous versions of Firefox for Android, there was a button in the tab management screen that allowed a user to copy/share the URLs of all open tabs.

As of V148.0.2, that button no longer exists, and I don't see a way to copy all tabs to clipboard (without selecting each tab individually, which is unreasonable with any large number of tabs).

Is there a way to copy the URL of all tabs in this new version?

Using a mouse where before the user could swipe on the address bar to switch to adjacent tabs, now there's a tab strip which does not respond to a mouse (either scroll wheel or swiping, dragging just arranges the tab) and swiping on the address bar no longer works.

Now it looks like the desktop version but doesn't work like it.

Is there a setting to fix this or is it on the roadmap?

I am pointing to a UX issue that has been introduced by a recent change to the way Firefox on Android displays the list of synced tabs.

Originally, this list was shown with its scroll-position set to the top of the list allowing users to quickly collapse tab-lists from devices, and thus quickly reaching to the tabs from the devices they were interested in. Moreover the earlier design also showed lists of active and inactive tabs on each device separately, which was very helpful.

All of that seems to have been done away with in favour of a new UX which is just a flat list of all tabs on the device, and the scroll-position of this list is set to the bottom of the list.

Hence, now if I need to access the most recent tabs that were accessed on some other device, I have to manually scroll all the way up to the top of the list. I have 4–5 devices and some of them have over 600 tabs. Having to manually scroll through all of them to reach the top is very cumbersome, and arguably bad UX.

Can we please restore the older UX? Thank you.

Tab management has been changed. Very annoying new UI design.

I can no longer share all tabs with one click.

Please bring back this feature.

Is there a setting to go back to the old behavior?

In which version had this feature?

Where can I download  old version's APKs?

In Firefox Android, there's an option to automatically close tabs after one day, one week or one month.

I'd like to set it to 1 or 2 hours.

Is it possible? Maybe through about:config menu?

Thanks.
