Unless you're using android where on tablets it still doesn't support multi tab browsing but is an overblown phone app.
What do you mean? Having multiple tabs open at once?
I think they're comparing chrome's user interface which, on a tablet, switches to a more desktop like interface with the tab bar instead of the tab counter. It is something I wish firefox would also implement but not a deal breaker.
*cough cough*
It's been in Firefox nightly for a few months.
Yes bit not yet released and has been in backlog for 2 years, not great for a mainstream browser.
They do have a tab bar now, though it's recent.
Maybe grouped tabs? I am also curious what they mean.
No, i mean like a tab bar like every other android browser and desktop.
What do you mean by multi-tab browsing.
I've used Firefox on Android tablets and while it does have a "phone app" UX to it, it works fine; specifically tabbed browsing is not an issue.
Every other android browser supports tab bar for browsers on wide devices , the one exception FF.
I want a desktop type experience on my tablet not a phone UX.
I see, yes the tab bar was missing.
I admit this is something they need to work on.
What version are you using? Firefox Beta for Android supports multi-tabs on both tablet and phone.
You got me there, it is really frustrating that I have to open Edge if I want to have two tabs open at the same time.
Can't say I've had experience with that, but I believe you
