    My ♾️ tabs suggests Firefox does not, in fact, manage them.

    on the longer term it only keeps the last few tabs half-open. all the rest goes to the inactive tabs, which I guess are completely unloaded

        you can disable tabs closing automatically or setting them as inactive in Firefox settings.

            What's new about it? The screenshot looks like my Firefox looks already, and it's been this way for a long time. Did I maybe forget signing up to test beta features??

              • The top navigation bar has changed.
              • The new title.
              • It's no longer a bottom sheet.

                  Oh, I see. Thank you. The differences were too subtle for me, and I only just now learned what a bottom sheet is! 🙂

                  Still, it doesn't seem a very significant change. I'm neither pleased nor upset by it, but rather wondering what the point is. Maybe the cosmetic changes are simply a small addition to more important changes under the hood?

                    It looks like that's a different app, so no. OP pointed out some subtle differences though. It's roughly the same, but with the layout altered slightly. I think it probably looks like a more drastic change to those not already using the grid view; I had forgotten list was even an option.

                      To be honest, the tabs tray is mostly just cosmetic changes. The under the hood changes were done last year. That said, there's still some significant changes with things being consolidated, which makes management easier. There's a lot of work being put in to make Firefox feel and act like more of a first-class citizen on Android.
