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- From a UX/UI perspective, its design feels outdated and lacks intuitive features that have become standard elsewhere.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

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?
