1849343 - Tablet experience is poor when multiple tabs are opened

Status: NEW

(Fenix :: Tabs, defect, P3)

Description

[Mira Lobontiu (Android QA)]

Attachment: az_recorder_20230816_175516.mp4

Steps to reproduce

1. Have multiple tabs opened with various contents (videos, articles, multiple images), I had 37 at some point.
2. Scroll some of the pages, and remember the position.
3. Swipe between the tabs, left and right, and observe the pages.

Expected behavior

The scrolling position is remembered.
The swiping through the tabs is done without glitches, or reloads.

Actual behavior

• scrolling through some of the pages presented glitches,
• swiping from page to page was not done smoothly, the previous opened tab was displayed briefly before the opened tab is loaded - as it can be seen in the video,
• some pages reloaded entirely,
• the scrolling position was not preserved on some pages, the pages reloaded, lost the scrolling position, then returned to the previous state.

Device information

• Firefox version: Fenix Nightly 118.0a1 build from 8/16, Beta 117.0b9, RC 116.3.0
• Android devices: Lenovo Tab M10 (Android 10), and Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 (Android 9)

Any additional information?

This behavior was not reproducible on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (Android 9) phone.
