Back button behavior on Android – please add option to close tab

[mihaid85]

Hi Mozilla team,

I love Firefox, but the behavior of the Android version feels unintuitive. When I press the back button, I expect the current tab to close if there's no browsing history — like in Chrome, Brave, or other mobile browsers.

Instead, Firefox either stays on the page or goes to the start screen, which adds extra steps and slows down usage. It would be great to have a setting like: “Close tab when pressing back with no page history.”

This would make Firefox much more efficient and mobile-friendly. Please consider adding this option.

Thanks for your work!
