Tab List View Undo Toast Overlay

Hello everyone,

I am having a frequent annoying misclick with the Tab List View on android. I prefer the list view as the grid view requires too much scrolling for multiple tabs.

By default the most recent tab appears at the bottom of the list view. That makes sense, place it closest to my thumbs near the bottom of the screen.

However, upon swiping away or closing any tab, the undo toast banner also appears at the bottom of the screen. Directly over the bottom list item.

I often find myself wanting to close the bottom tab and open the second to bottom tab, however I just hit the undo button instead. Made worse by the tab list quickly sliding down to fill the screen and placing the next most recent tab directly under the overlay.


Is there any way to adjust the location of the undo overlay?

Preferably the overlay would not be directly in the way of the latest tab...?


Perhaps, a cleaner solution would not be an overlay at all... When closing a tab, replace the whole closed tab entry in the tab list with an undo message and button for the duration of the undo overlay. This could swipe in to match the swipe to close gesture of the user. That would avoid avoid the list moving around on the screen mid user input as well.

Not sure if this is the best route for feature requests but the tab list has been bugging me lol.

Keep up the great work Mozilla & community.

Thanks
