Hi,

I would like to be able to switch from tab to tab in 'Firefox Android'. The tabs are not listed next to the two dots ':' Can someone help me with this? This would be much appreciated, as I enjoy 'Mozilla Firefox' very much. Thank you.

I understand. I click on the glasses icon and I see all my tabs. I was wondering why they are not numbered in my case.

Note that you can easily switch tabs by swiping left/right over the address bar where you see the tab count.
