Tablet & Mobile UI - tab bar for Android

[dantheclamman]

Firefox Fennec had a great tabbed interface on tablets. When Fenix came, we regressed to a stretched out phone UI. After years of stagnation, Android tablets are rising again, thanks to foldables and new initiatives from Google. Firefox is missing out by not including a tabbed interface for Android tablet users, particularly because FF has best in class syncing abilities. Android power users are enthusiastic recommenders of their favorite browsers, so it would be huge advantage over Chromium based competitors!

Yes I want a tabs bar on Android tablets in Firefox

[Gatocan2099]

I hope they soon put the tab bar in Firefox for Android. Almost all the competition has a tab bar from what I see.

To give some examples: Opera, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi and Yandex. Any of these is easier to manage tabs than Firefox. The typical thing in all of them is almost the same: an X to close a tab and/or a + to open another tab

On Windows Firefox is great (it's the one I use by default), but on Android it seems like a browser that makes a mess of the tab management (that's my opinion), which I think the competition wins on, which is why I use Opera on Android (and I like Firefox) but the management of tabs is tedious (many steps to close a tab)

And to give an example, Opera or Edge have the same interface for both Android and Windows (for example Edge that doesn't work on Linux if it's not with an emulator) or Opera that whether you see it on Windows, Linux or Android the management is similar. That is, an X to close and/or a + to open another tab (what could be simpler than that?).

It's a shame that Firefox on Android has this huge difference in the interface. I'm still waiting for things to change, but it's not that difficult to make the UI used in Windows or Linux also be brought to Android.

That's what's strange. The UI is the same on Windows/Linux and different on Android. They should unify everything. Otherwise, why is there this difference exclusively with Android?

I just made a quick sketch of what a potential tab strip on mobile would look like or how I'd prefer it to look.
