I can't scroll my tabs, if I try it closes the tab menu. I'm stuck on the few tabs I can see, the rest are there, but I cannot scroll to them!

Try to scroll left-right on the URL bar.

That does nothing but highlight the url

Have same issue. I can scroll down my tabs, but not up. Trying to scroll back up will just swipe the tab menu closed. Wasn't as big of an issue until the previous update that made your new tab on the bottom instead of top.

When new tabs were top of list you could at least work around by restarting the browser.

I was going to, but it's too much of a pain in the ass to create a new issue. Maybe you can just report it!

Same problem. Can work around by walk scrolling without lifting a finger off screen. Sometimes can get the 5? pixel scroll bar on the right by swipe edge right to left at bottom of scrolled tabs then walk scrolling up. Timing is critical as scroll bar turns off in 2 seconds. While scrolling always keep one finger on screen and walk up or down. Use the middle finger to start as that is what the last android update did to tab scrolling, that and converted grid to list view by default.

EUREKA!

I found a work around! It'll work until the geniuses can properly fix it.

Open a new tab, then close it. Then you can scroll all your tabs again!

Hi

There are further changes due that will make browsing your open tabs much easier. These changes are currently being polished in our Nightly version before being made ready for more people to benefit from them.

And that helps us now how? This is so annoying! Makes my browser useless! I'm about ready to uninstall this browser from every device I have and switch to opera.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

Uh huh... I still stand by what I said, because what you just said isn't relative.

Ok so tab scroll is borked I get it... How do I revert the sort so a new tab appears at the top, the thing that turned this from an inconvenience into an unusable mess?

I am not interested in polish, I just want the thing to actually work. I used nightly and expected odd stuff, but you did such a good job of messing it up with profiles and sync that I simply had to abandon the instalation and remove it as it just did not work.

Instead of 4 weekly releases we could have 6 monthly tested releases. Automated testing can only go so far.

It's been 3 months and the tab list is still completely broken.

It's quite a long time now ?!

Is it still in polish ? Or forgot ?  :-/

I 'll try to retrieve the bug, or file a new one.
