Swipe between open tabs on iOS

[Bjones]

Swiping between open tabs would be wonderful. Implementation could be exactly how it's done in Safari.

If you're in private mode then swiping would only be between private tabs. Swiping normal tabs would only navigate between normal tabs.

This is not the same as https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/swipe-between-tabs-private-tabs-and-synced-tabs/idc-p/473#M245, which asks for swiping between all open and all private tabs.

Bump. The only thing that’s holding me back from switching from Safari is the lack of tab swipe gestures

Okay, Firefox iOS 143.2 update now says:

“Thanks for choosing Firefox! Here's what's new:

• Swipe Tabs Gesture: Swipe tabs directly from the toolbar for faster tab management.
• New Appearance Settings: Customize the toolbar by choosing New Tab button or Home button (progressive rollout)”

This does not appear to be working, even on the latest iOS 26.0.1 and with the address bar on the top or bottom of the screen.
