In my experience, Firefox for mobile falls short in several key areas compared to other modern browsers.

- From a UX/UI perspective, its design feels outdated and lacks intuitive features that have become standard elsewhere.

- Features like 'tab previews', 'tab grouping', or built-in 'swipe gestures' for back/forward navigation are noticeably absent.

- While extensions may offer some workarounds, these should ideally be core functionalities, as relying on third-party solutions adds unnecessary complexity for users.

- It would be a significant improvement if Firefox natively supported these features or, at the very least, provided clearer documentation to help users seeking these features.



> Features like 'tab previews'

This has been in Firefox mobile for as long as I can remember.

Swiping for back navigation also works fine, but not forwards as near as I can tell.

Maybe these features are specific to Android?
