One reason I have always used Firefox on my phone is that I HATE tabs staying open. It worked great for me to swipe away Firefox, and opening it again I could click my Shopping List, my Canvas for school, my image backup...everything I wanted. Now I can't and it's really frustrating.

Can Firefox PLEASE make all tabs close every time you close or swipe away from Firefox? I do NOT want to use the stupid Quit button every time.

PLEASE IT'S WHY I USE FIREFOX

Hello, It seems like the new version of firefox might have turned this feature off,or it could be for other reason.However if you want to automatically close tabs when you quite, 

you can go to settings>delete browsing data on quite and select open tabs.This will delete you browsing data on quite.

Or you can go to the tab button next to the address bar.Then tap on the three dots menu at the upper right corner.Select tab settings,then under close tabs you will see options.Tap the selection of how frequently you want to close tabs automatically. Thank you.

Hi

You can set tabs to close after a period of time, but I understand this is not what you are looking for.

When you navigate away from an app in Android, the app is still open in the background. You need to tell Firefox for Android to exit (using the exit button/clear history option mentioned) to trigger the tabs to be closed.

I hope that this helps.
