Cannot figure out how to post to support forums, hope this is it.

Issue 1: Cannot scroll up tabs, which after recent update is all older tabs. It simply swipes the menu closed if you try.

Issue 2: If you accidentally close a tab, hitting "UNDO" does NOT restore the tab. Have to do it manually through history.

Issue 3: (common) Cannot change order of tabs at all. Not by dragging, nor any setting to change the list order between newest tabs ascending or descending.

Issue 4: (possibly being fixed currently) Old tabs you switch to will not load or refresh properly. Will only load if you go to url and send it again as if you typed it.

Update: As of 84.1.4;

Issue #1 Fixed!

Issue #2 Fixed -but- inconvenient. 

- Puts the restored tab at the

beginning of the tab list, which is inconvenient as they still can't be reordered. 

- For example, having to scroll

though 73 tabs to get between two you were using together because you accidentally swiped one.

Issue #3 Unchanged

Issue #4 Fixed!

Issue #1 is still happening for me on Firefox 87.0.0-rc1 for Android. It's impossible to access any tabs other than the last six tabs because the tab panel does not scroll. This is a P0 release blocker; no release should pass QA with such severe breakage to basic functionality.

Issue #2 is also present in 87.0.0-rc1 and is also a launch blocker: having a non-functioning undo button is worse than having no undo button at all.

I've noticed things about both issues 1) If you scroll all the way down and, without letting go, scroll up it temporarily bypasses the problem

2) The undo does seem to work, but it puts the restored tab at the very top of the list.

Hope this helps you and others in the interrim.

Hi

I have just opened 7 tabs in the current Release version of Firefox for Android and they scroll fine in both list and thumbnail views.

If you do wish to file a issued for our developers to look into, you will be best served by doing so at:

Still not fixed on this one yet after update. Maybe I should try a clean install.
