Frustration with Tab Behavior in Firefox iOS App

Dear Firefox Team,

Whenever I have multiple tabs open in the Firefox iOS app and then exit the app to use a different one, I’ve noticed that all my tabs close. Thankfully, I don’t lose the webpages I was browsing or my browsing history, but it’s quite frustrating to have to go to the tabs section of the app and reopen them manually every single time I switch between apps.

I believe that this behavior could be improved to enhance the overall user experience. It would be fantastic if the Firefox iOS app could retain the open tabs, similar to how other browsers on iOS handle this situation. This would save users valuable time and provide a smoother transition between apps, which is especially important in today’s fast-paced digital environment.

I wanted to bring this issue to your attention in the hopes that it could be considered for a future update to the Firefox iOS app. I believe that making this adjustment would make Firefox even more user-friendly and help retain users who value a seamless mobile browsing experience.

Hi

We will need to look into this in more detail with some logs from inside your copy of Firefox for iOS. This article will walk you through getting Firefox logs. When you have them, please file them here (a GitHub account is required) so that our developers can look into this further for you.

I hope that this helps.
