The ability to rearrange tabs in Firefox mobile

[auser]

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!

Possible Tab Sorting arrangements like -

Sort by Most Recently Opened

Sort by Most Recently Used

Sort by Title

Sort by URL

Sort by some Parent-Child Node Tree Structure

And also to be able to sort tabs manually by long pressing on the tab title and dragging the tab to any position you want in the tab manager - something that was do-able in Firefox for Android for a very long time but this extremely useful anti-frustration feature was suddenly removed around a year ago! I've been waiting and waiting patiently for this vital feature to be re-introduced but am now just downright angry that it hasn't!

It is absolutely terrible that this feature was taken away in the first place. This just made using firefox more inconvenient for no reason whatsoever.

Please bring it back.

This is an absolutely basic feature, and I feel it is a travesty that it was taken away in the first place. It makes browsing more inconvenient, while adding _nothing_.

Firefox used to have it! Please bring it back!

Allow users to change the order of tabs.

I was told to share my """new idea""" here by someone managing the mobile Firefox play store listing— as response to my review.

You would think, with such a fixation on syching tabs & sessions, that a basic fundamental feature every single web browser with tabs has —mobile or otherwise— would be done before anything else. It's honestly mind-boggling that priorities were so misaligned as to let something this obvious go unimplemented in any version of Firefox, and my review will remain at the lowest possible until this is fixed. Not that any corporation actually cares what rating their apps get in the play store, or what the people who use their products actually want.

For me, reordering tabs and iOS works by long press and drag on the tab from the overview.

However, I have many open tabs and Firefox doesn’t properly keep the ordering. Example: open a link in new tab, it will appear next to the parent tab. Then, open tab overview and the new tab  will appear at the end of the overview. Switch to private tabs and back, the new tab will appear next to the original tab again.

I hope this can be addressed, this has been bothering me now for many Firefox versions.

Also, I suggest that the automatic “new page”, which (inconsistently) appears after Firefox thinks i haven’t used it for a while, can be switched off in the settings.

I would love this feature on Firefox Mobile too! I don't know about iOS, but I do know that it currently doesn't exist on the Android version.

Having to copy and paste links to create new tabs at the bottom of the page is tedious.

Firefox Android bring back ability to arrange open tabs order

Previously Firefox Android supported drag and drop on the list of open tabs to rearrange / reorder the open tabs. Then Mozilla announced a revamp of the Firefox Android tab support, and this capability vanished.

I found mention here seeking the same support. I would have commented that it had been in Firefox Android and was removed, however the thread is locked.

Make it possible to change the order of the tabs

I want to be able to change the order of the tabs just like I'm able in any other browser app on mobile.

Being able to long press and drag to re-order tabs is super helpful and makes the experience of using the app more intuitive and easy to manage. I'm really hoping this gets implemented on Android soon

For the one time in a week I must organize my tabs for work, I must have that feature.

Please bring it back ❤️
