Tasks:

• [breakdown] Add 'multiple tabs' support #588 Breakdown

To be aligned with Android.

Idea here is to get some feedback about current Android tab implementation first

[bbinto]

We've decided to first do some UR on the Android implementation and use results to inform how to do it on iOS

Once this is implemented, would it be possible to leave a setting to disable the use of multiple tabs?

The best part of using Focus as my main web browser for me is that it forces me to either read what I already have open or discard it. This prevents me from getting into a state where I have 💯 tabs open which reduces my choice and makes the UX much simpler.

Definitely a power user problem. Let me know if there's a better place to give this feedback. Thanks!

[bbinto]

Great feedback, thanks cbzehner! I agree it's a power user request but we've heard this before. We'll keep it in our backlog. FYI, there will be some user testing for multiple tabs coming next year, and I assume we will learn and can improve even more after the results are in.

If you don't mind creating a new issue with this request and we'll triage/reference it accordingly? Thanks,

Android issue: mozilla-mobile/focus-android#1250

Notably this is our most requested feature in app store reviews.

It has been almost (coming to be) five years.. but still we are missing multiple tabs... is it hard to implement or they simply don't want to add?
