User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20150305021524

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox
2. Open more than one tab.
3. Tap the Tabs indicator to get to the screen that lets you select tabs.
4. Go to another app and follow a link (my example was using the Google search app)



Actual results:

When Firefox opens, the tab loads, but does not close the tab selection screen.


Expected results:

Tab selection screen closes and loads the URL in the visible tab.

Hello and thank you for reporting!
I could reproduce this using HTC Desire 820 (Android 6.0.1) and Huawei Honor 5x (Android 5.1.1) on all branches. Mark this as NEW and set the flags accordingly.
