In Apple Photos, when you open any photo, all the photos are lined up underneath, like this:Bar.gif

I'd like to be able to switch the tabs with this thing I don't know the name of, which is activated by long-pressing the tab button:
This.pngOf course, the current function of long-pressing the tab button would have to be moved to something else, like long-pressing the URL bar or something like that.

I noticed in Samsung Gallery that it also has this feature, so this is possible on Android.

Also, I personally think it would be nice to add this feature here:Bar.png

This is a great idea. I think features like this are a common sense improvement to how we manage tabs and are long overdue in browsers.
I'm thinking about this a lot as well, especially when comparing Firefox to other browsers like Opera. Opera's Android app, for example, has completely overhauled its tab management with multiple new methods. It's a great reference for how an innovative, modern tab system can work.
It feels like Firefox is lagging behind its competitors when it comes to adopting these common and useful new features and a variety of different user-focused designs. Features like this one, and many others, are already in use and well-received elsewhere. It would be a significant step forward for Firefox to adopt and even improve upon these ideas.

I shared some images of opera tab management where have multiple verification of tab looks and grop tab option.

One more main problem in firefox is that when user use open new tab then its always open last in whole series instead of successive next of the already opened tab. So always required to go to last for that new tab.
