Attachment: Firefox Ctrl+Tab compared with Windows Alt+Tab @2018.05.25, 11_03_38.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180516032328

Steps to reproduce:

press Ctrl+Tab


Actual results:

Only 5 giant previews shown
"show all" doesnt even list the tabs in order wisited.


Expected results:

Like Windows Alt-Tab which shows 25 previews and scrolls down to preview ALL open windows.

The size of the previews is not a concern, the issue is previews should scroll.  5 is a ridiculously low number to limit it to.

I have tried this, but ctrl+tab switches Firefox tabs, no preview. 
Could you please provide me more information on how to reproduce this?

I am on Windows-10 and testing with latest nightly.

Closing this as incomplete due to inactivity and lack of response from the reporter.
If anyone can still reproduce it on latest versions, feel free to reopen the bug and provide more information. Thanks

================================
I posted a screenshot on 25/5/18.  
Perhaps someone who knows how to use Firefox can explain to QA (:Abe_LV)that tab previews appear in a CLEAN DOWNLOAD of Firefox. 
Except in v64 the "view all" option has GONE.
ANOTHER screenshot attached.

Please reopen this issue which did NOT require any further info from me and has NOT been resolved!

How many tabs did you cycle through? More than 5?

Perhaps FF devs could start with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/clut-cycle-last-used-tabs/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/switch-to-previous-active-tab/

Can you send this to a 101 student class to fix?

All you seem to do here is shuffle, close, reopen.

NOTE: if you close the last 5 pages visited, the dialog shows the previous 5 pages. So all the data is already kept it just needs the INTERFACE fixed!

Does it take 11 years to fix?

Can you get someone to fix the INTERFACE, since the DATA is already retained?
