Since the latest update, the tab bar will not and can not be made visible. This looks to be the case when the home page setting is “open new tab after 4 hours idle” option. You start the app in iOS, it shows the home page, but you can’t get the tabs bar to become visible by scrolling up or down. I’ve only gotten it to work by exiting the app and then reopening it.

I too have this problem with Firefox 98.1 on my first generation iPad Pro (iPadOS 15.4). It seems to be related to multitasking for me, as when I have Firefox and Twitter side by side on the screen, all my tabs disappear and only come back when the Twitter app is closed (swiping upwards).

As an aside, I did try to upload a screenshot from the iPad. The upload notification just sat there spinning
