When selecting many tabs to send them to another firefox instance (eg my android to my desktop), presently the list of selected tabs "disappears" after sending because after send-to-device is complete firefox bounces you not back to the tab view, but back to the last webpage. Tab-view is exited, so the selection is lost.
They should stay "selected", which I imagine would be implemented as just returning to the tab screen/activity rather than back to some webpage. I feel this is justified because:
it takes a *long* time to select many tabs on mobile, especially when you have to sort through to selectively choose them. It's trivial for me to exit the tab-selection view if I didn't want to do something else with that list of tabs, but FF mobile doesn't allow me this option
This feature would make mobile consistent with how desktop behaves: sharing a group of tabs does not cause the selection to disappear; tabs stay selected.
A common use case for selecting many tabs is to "move" from a mobile session to a desktop once it becomes available. In that case it's always "send", then "close on mobile". Presently one has to manually re-select all the tabs a second time to close them, which is really painful.
Thank you.
