Option to disable side swipe gesture to close a tab

[brixter]

In Firefox Android, I often have multiple tabs open. When I scroll up and down to navigate through the tabs, I sometimes accidentally close a tab. Probably because I was swiping diagonally up. I have a few seconds to click the undo button that pops up.

I've never intentionally used this gesture since I click the x button to close a tab.

Please add an option to disable the side swipe gesture.

@Jon It's the same as my idea. You should merge it.

I'm sure the kids (under 40 😉 ) love this gesture stuff but I'm far too old for it myself.  Is there any way to downgrade to an previous version of Android Firefox? If the answer is yes, does anyone know the last version that didn't have this "feature"? Thanks.
