1378553 - Close a Fennec tab when it's swiped less than halfway.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Steps to reproduce:

Tabs only close when the X button reaches 50% of the width. This makes it hard to close the top tabs on large phones. It often requires multiple attempts. 
The idea is to close the tab when the X button travels - lets say - 35% of the way.

Changing component to Themes and Visual Design if anyone feels like this is not the right component please feel free to change it back.

We may need some UX input here.

[traige0712] P3+, something worth considering to enhance in the future.

As for the case of swiping the tab slowly, can we detect the tab's transparency? I suggest that close the tab when the tab's opacity is 0% (When users can't see the tab then remove the tab).

we can try what Jack suggested above. I think we can also check this while we review all the transitions for improvement in the near future.
