1170237 - Dismissing tabs requires too much gesture movement

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for iOS :: General, defect)

Description

[Stephan Leroux [:sleroux]]

From John Gruen:

Here’s a little usability hiccup:

It’s really hard to swipe-dismiss a tab toward the closer edge of the window in the new two-column tab page.* Would it be possible to make the swipe-dismiss gesture a little more sensitive?
----

Solution would be configure the swipe threshold parameters depending on the tab layout so it's easier to swipe for smaller tabs.

Reduced it by 20px so now the user needs to pull 60px in either direction to delete the tab. Thoughts?

This feels much better, feedback from some colleagues was positive as well. Lets land it and see if it addresses the issue people had.
