Switching between tabs by swiping is one of the most convenient ways to navigate from one web page to another in a mobile browser. While this feature has been available in Google Chrome for quite some time, the mobile version of Firefox still lacks this tool. However, it has now been revealed that developers at Mozilla will add the tab-switching feature using swiping to their browser.
Switching between tabs by swiping is generally more effective in mobile browsers, as they do not have an upper panel displaying all the open web pages. This is particularly useful when you do not need to swipe through many tabs to reach the desired one. If you have a large number of tabs open in your browser, it will be more convenient to switch between them by invoking a full-screen view that shows all the pages.
The new feature has been added to the latest version of Firefox Nightly, which is already available for download in the Play Market digital content store. Sources indicate that the first build of the browser containing the code for the mentioned feature was released on July 23. To switch between tabs by swiping, no special settings or activation are required, as it is enabled by default. Simply swipe left or right on the address bar to move to one of the adjacent tabs.
Currently, the new feature is only available in the Android version of Firefox Nightly. It is still unclear when it will be available in the stable version of the browser.
