Android Tabs window: Tabs becoming Blocked by tab closed notification

On Firefox for Android, on the Tabs window (screenshots attached), there is a UI error or oversight. This is a relatively recent problem, maybe related to the huge UI overhaul. The tabs extend too low on the page so that when I close a tab, the "Tab Closed" notification covers the bottom-most tab. This is a big annoyance when I'd just like to close several tabs in rapid succession (because the X is now blocked, so I end up smashing the X, Undo, X, Undo buttons repeatedly). Is there any momentum to undo or fix this issue?

Hey mkarp27,

Totally hear you there! We saw similar feedback recently here and here. I'll make sure to forward this feedback to our team.

In the meantime, here's a workaround I found from the Firefox subreddit:

You can swipe away the Tab closed pop-up instead of waiting for it to disappear

Hey mkarp27,

After playing around with my Android device, I believe I've found a sensible workaround for this.

On Firefox for Android, you can swipe the tab to the left to close it. So essentially, instead of tapping on the X button multiple times, you can simply swipe left on each tab that you want to close. I noticed that some users might not familiar with the swiping gesture (and I know that it takes time to build muscle memory). But I think overtime, knowing this will be really useful in the long run.

Да, та же проблема. Если хочешь закрыть быстро несколько последних вкладок, всплывающий запрос об отмене перекроет такую возможность. Раньше такого не замечал.
