1483864 - the position of the close tab in Firefox for iphone is absolutely non-intuitive ...

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for iOS :: Menu and Toolbar, defect)

Description

[Pascal Boulerie]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
Build ID: 20180807170231

Steps to reproduce:

I have FireFox version 12.2


Actual results:

On a Windows computer, I go to the x close box, above on top of the FireFox windows, when I want to close an opened tab.

On iOS , the top right menu - which icon is made of 3 dots (...) - the Close menu command would just close the Menu, not the Tab.
I think the Close command should be renamed "Close this current menu",
and that another new "Close the tab" command should be added in that menu.

The same comment applies to the "hamburger" menu on the bottom right part of the iPhone iOS screen : the Close command should be renamed "Close this current menu" (because it does not close the Mozilla Tab itself...)

Currently, the ergonomy of the other current "Close tab" command (the one just left of the Hamburger menu) is absolutely awkward and non intuitive. Currently, it requires a long press on the icon menu...

The "Close" button is for the menu, not the page. You can also close by tapping the area outside of the Page Actions menu. Closing.
