Hello, I am used to close Firefox on Windows computer by > Application Menu > Close. Here, all open tabs are closed as specified by me in the settings. However, there is no such a 'close' option in Firefox for iOS/iPad Pro (build 114.3 (31916)), and I close Firefox by wiping the application on iPad Pro. Each new session opens the previously used tabs.

What is the best way to close Firefox AND close all open tabs?

Thanks for any suggestion. Best,

Hello,

To close Firefox on iOS/iPad Pro and also close all open tabs, you can follow these steps:

Tap and hold the Tabs icon in the Firefox toolbar. The Tabs icon looks like two overlapping squares. In the pop-up menu, select "Close All Tabs." This will close all open tabs in Firefox and exit the app. The next time you open Firefox, it should start with a new session and no previously opened tabs.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

It seems that the Tabs icon is not available in Firefox for iPad (iOS?). Holding open tabs does not open a popups. Since the about:config seems not to available for on iOS/iPad, I could also not search for options here. Anyway, thanks for your reply.
