> Hello! I have verified with Firefox 150.0a1 (2026-03-05) on Windows 11, macOS 26, and Ubuntu 24 that the `Reverse tabs` context menu option is displayed and works as expected for both views in horizontal and vertical tabs. The `Revese tabs` context menu option is not displayed when other tab and Split View are selected.
> However, I have two questions:
> 1. I see that pressing the `R` keyboard key on Windows/ Linux when the context menu is open no longer reloads the tab as before. It cycles between the `Reverse Tabs option` and the `Reload Tab`. 
We are now using the existing string for this that does not include an access key: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/browser/locales/en-US/browser/tabbrowser.ftl#464
In bug 2021063, we will switch back to using the string with the access key: https://searchfox.org/firefox-main/source/browser/locales/en-US/browser/tabbrowser.ftl#453
> 2. The `Reverse tabs` context menu option is not displayed when both views are selected.
We decided that the 'Reverse Tabs' option will not show when multiselection is being used regardless of if both tabs are in a split view. We wanted to avoid a scenario where a user selects multiple tabs across multiple split views and tries to reverse all the tabs. It will only show when you right click one split view tab.
