Help! My tab manager in Firefox for Android is in a giant mess and the basic ability to rearrange the order of the tabs would help greatly in dealing with this issue! Please re-enable the ability to rearrange tabs in the tab manager that was once do-able in previous versions of Firefox for Android!

@Pammcan you show a picture from firefox what you just described. I'm confused because i don't have a option like rename tab.

Firefox nightly allowed the tabs to be rearranged until a few days ago.

It has now stopped working and I can only select and not move the icons.

I can't believe anyone would remove this feature.

  @PS68 maybe they need to fix something or want to change it how it works. I think this is a temporary gone but maybe @Jon knows something about it.

The feature used to be available in Beta but it disappeared years ago.

However, it is back again so hopefully it will be restored to the Nightly.

This facility has now been removed from Firefox for desktops/laptops! It is an absolutely fundamental facility. If it is not swiftly restored, I will have to switch to a different browser.

It seems that the latest update of FIrefox on Android has had the ability to allow the user to manually re-order their tabs removed.

Why?!

I group my tabs to be convenient for me, now the only way I can get them in the order I want is to copy the URL, close the tab, open a tab from a link in the tab I want the chosen tab to be next to, then paste in the URL so it's in the right place!

What a ridiculous palaver and who decided to remove this feature anyway?

If people don't want to use it, then have a setting they can change for themselves.
