Mozilla preview new Tab Management UI in the Play Store

But I really like how Firefox mobile handles tabs right now..

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
- Yeah, I suppose I don't have more than 100 tabs open

That looks like Chrome... I hope we get the choice to keep tabs the way they are now.

The Mozilla designers are pandering to what the masses find familiar, so expect lots of inspiration from Chrome and iOS, for better or worse.
That said, I suspect that while grid is the default, list view will still be available for super users.
I'm just disappointed that there's no indication of tab groups in this preview.
- It's just sad that Firefox is so insecure about being an individual and forward thinking in design. Not to mention the disrespect of the lifelong users who ask for cool features that would improve FF. Instead, they are so desperate to be Chrome. The end of Firefox will be Mozilla. Chrome users don't like you and FF users are ignored.

pls just give us a tablet ui with a tab bar 😭

it's currently in Beta. used to be available as a hidden toggle in Stable, but not anymore.

That's quite posh, nice! 🥰

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?
Are you on the nightly beta?
- 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.
