Tablet Mode

Why is there no tablet mode on Android yet? iOS has had tablet mode for years. Firefox for Android is superior (probably not as many installs) and it would be great to have this option.

Hi,

Firefox for Android does have a tablet mode and I understand that our developers are looking into how it can be improved.

Android actually has a tablet mode, but it's not as prominently featured as on iOS. Android's interface is designed to adapt to different screen sizes, offering a more flexible experience. While iOS offers a consistent tablet mode across devices, Android manufacturers have the freedom to customize their UIs, resulting in varied tablet experiences. Firefox for Android might have superior features, but implementing a dedicated tablet mode would depend on Firefox's development priorities and user demand.
