In Huawei and that firefox newer version, if you open many tabs, like 8, you cannot slide between them, uponopening Firefox again, let's say tomorrow. It does not allow to slide with finger and switch from let's say first tab to eight. You see info in right bottom corner that there are 8 tabs, but you can not get those to open. You can not switch from visible tabs to those it visible at the moment.

This happens sometime. When you start Firefox again tomorrow, you must open anew tab and do something with it, so that old ones become reachable and bug dissaperars. But if new tab is not opened, sliding is not working.

Hi

Are you able to attach a screen shot to help us understand what you are seeing?

You should be able to tap the tabs icon and see all open tabs.

Don't think I can screen shot. I am seeing open tabs, but I can enter only visible 3 or 4, but I can not slide up or down to enter those that are not visible. For example I do not want to enter those first visible nor I want to close them, to get to those one that are on the end of list. Sliding does not work until I enter some of visible tabs, or until I open new tab, then I exit from these, and can slide.

This does not happen on old Firefox vers on for example Lenovo a536.
