So I'm having some problems with Firefox for Android whereby one, whenever scrolling through my tab list, I accidentally swipe them away constantly. Is there a setting I can modify to make them more resilient?

The other issue is that I'm a huge fan of the setting where tabs are opened as private tabs by default. Despite the fact this feature isn't finished. But I noticed that if I'm in my normal tabs, let's say to play Wordle and then I switch to my private tabs, when I press the normal tab lost, Firefox has no idea what tab I was looking at. Anyway to fix this?

Most times my swipes aren't perfectly straight and Firefox takes that as enough of a swipe swipe to dismiss the tabs

@sabreW4K3 In that case, try switching the tabs to list view from grid view in the settings for tabs. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it should at least address the problem.

I'm using list view, grid view is gross 😭

Yep, same problem here, my swipes aren't perfectly straight because, well, I've got a thumb joint. Fisher-Price grid view takes up too much space. Mozilla need to account for the overall direction of the swipe.
