Still no swipe to change tabs on iOS, which makes it a non-starter on that platform for me, and a browser I can't use on every device can't be my primary browser. Bummer, because I really want to use Firefox.
- AiAi 2y agoI also miss this feature, I hope they have that on their roadmap. But the whole UI is kinda janky to me, sometimes it flashes when I'm interacting with it, and the closing tab gesture seems to have a sensitivity issue, sometimes I try to close a tab, and it doesn't close because I didn't swipe enough.
- freedomben 2y agoI recognize that you aren't placing any (explicit at least) blame here, simply stating facts, so I want to make clear that what I'm saying is simply an addition to your comment, not a refutation. Is it really surprising that iOS isn't an important target for Firefox, given that Apple's draconian rules don't allow them to do much? If we're going to assign responsibility for this, I think Apple is who deserves (at least most of) it. Given the major (artificial) impediments imposed by the gatekeeper of the platform, were I in their shoes I would never invest scarce dollars into such a risky undertaking where there is a hostile* and extremely powerful overseer. *To be clear, I mean hostile to 3rd party browsers, such as Firefox
