Why/User Benefit/User Problem

This could be best addition to firefox feature set to make tab switching easier on large screen devices like iphone max series. It is quite uncomfortable to switch tabs in medium social devices like iphone 11 or XR

User feedback on Mozilla Connect: Swipe between open tabs on iOS.

Eyyyy I’m famous (that’s my request). This is honestly the number one thing Safari has that Firefox should have. It’s such a quick and intuitive action, it adds massively to user experience. Please implement it!

Firefox Android has this feature too, making the omission here even stranger.

Crazy this is still not implemented in Firefox for iOS. Open for almost 4 years, implemented in Firefox for Android... it's like a big "SO GO USE SAFARI !" shoutout ...which is what I did, also because of this lacking UI "feature".

Hello! Thank you for the feedback, we know and are aware of this highly wanted feature. Just wanted to briefly say that there are plans to integrate this, although we don't have a concrete timeline that I could share yet. Just wanted to say this rather than say nothing :) Thank you for having Firefox at heart!
