Add an option to dynamically show/hide the tab bar for better foldable support

[knowdark]

I have a foldable device, and find that generally Firefox Mobile supports foldables very well, barring minor issues. But there is one thing I'd wish it did better - the tab bar behaviour. I love having the tab bar when the device is unfolded! But I equally hate having it when it's folded: it just takes up too much space, isn't very useful due to limited space, and you can't have a bottom address bar with it, which I prefer, which also means I can't change tabs by swiping the bottom of my screen.

By adding the option for the tab bar to dynamically appear only when the device is unfolded (or alternatively when the screen width is high enough) we'd get the best of both worlds!

As a Fold7 user, I have also noticed this problem. Apart from the tab bar and the option to load desktop pages by default, there are hardly any optimizations for tablets and foldable devices. For example, I would like to see the two-column settings menu that existed before Fenix. Additionally, the pop-ups and menus in the interface should not appear as stretched mobile versions. They should open dynamically at the appropriate location, as they would on a desktop, and not occupy the entire screen.

Yes, it would be great if it scaled up dynamically when it detected the display was a certain width, and I also would love bottom tabs!
