new mobile app tabs screen is counterproductive to a decent mobile experience

Charathemoth
Making moves

My issues with it revolve around ease of use, functionality, and general asthetics (which can always be debated).

what.png1. The tabs menu now takes up the entire screen, making the menu feel clunky and as though you're doing something completely separate instead of smoothly changing over to another tab as with the previous one with it just being a popup



2. The individual tabs each now take up about 1/4th of my screen. I can see the value in it displaying the entire page instead of a little square cutout, but it just makes quickly looking at the tabs and seeing which tabs you have open frustrating because I'm scrolling for a minute to look through them all.





2.5. Further, the disabled tabs dropdown also suffers from this. It feels more deliberate an action instead of again, just opening the dropdown that's right there, you now have to scroll more to  get to it and actually see it; making it more difficult to just see at a quick glance what tabs there are.

 Onto general aesthetics.

 It feels incredibly claustrophobic, clunky, and makes the app feel like it's reverted to a 2016 build by people who haven't gained the experienced required for firefox to have made it this far. 

 I'm all for clunky and purposeful menus and software, but this is a browser. It should be as smooth and as clean as possible so that you can get to the website easier and do things across websites easier. This is antithetical to that and just makes swapping tabs a chore. 

 But that's pretty much all i have to say.
