saved collections page deleted items

[Tommy5]

Just a suggestion- in the browser collections its currently really easy to mistakenly swipe right-even slightly- while scrolling through a collection list and inadvertantly delete items . Suggest adding a delete confirm stop before deleting.  Currently it Instantly deletes saved pages before you even know what it was.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I've run into this exact issue a bunch of times.

There are too many ways to delete items.  The 'X' is sufficient, swiping is too quick and easy

This please!!!!! Recently deleted items, an undo button or making it harder to delete items would be very appreciated.

This issue has been bugging me for some months now.

I would like either:

1. Recently deleted history
2. For the horizontal delete swipe to require a new touch contact instead of transitioning from a vertical scroll swipe to a horizontal delete swipe with no pause
3. For the horizontal delete swipe to be removed, there is already an 'X' button to delete. It doesn't need a gesture as well

PLEASE!!!  I wish I had a dollar for every accidentally deleted link in a collection!  The ease of deleting information by accident with no convenient way to retrieve it greatly undermines the functionality of collections.

Accidental swipe deletion from collections has been a problem for me as well.  An undo option would be desirable, and consistent with how swipe-to-delete works for tabs.  It should be possible to disable both features in settings.  

Frankly, the swipe-to-delete gestures feel like more bug than feature, as X-to-delete already handles this just fine.  Truly unnecessary feature bloat in Firefox Android.  Save it for your dating apps😉

I am going to also STRONGLY suggest this needs fixing. I posted about this once before. And worse, it usually isn't one anywhere near where your finger currently is!!!!

It seems as if it only takes a 10-15% swipe before it triggers. That is WAY too little for a DELETE. I'm guessing this is just some standard library, and the amount of swipe needed before triggering something can be adjusted with a simple parameter change. Hopefully, someone who knows how to read the code can look into it and verify it a simple fix can at least make it harder to happen.

This is a regular issue for me, and it seems like it's brought up a fair amount here:
