Details

This is probably by design considering how mobile applications are used and structured compared to desktop, but in case it wouldn't and we would want Fenix to be on par with desktop, here's the difference:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a tab in incognito mode and close it
  2. Check recently closed tabs and see it's missing from there

Expected behavior

On desktop, we can restore incognito tabs that were recently closed if it wasn't the last tab of the window and the window is still opened (common context, I guess?).

Here, the fact a mobile application can be used differently and be kept idle for long running in the background can come as an issue.

Actual behavior

Recently closed incognito tabs aren't visible in recently closed tabs.

Device information

  • Firefox version: 134.0.1
  • Android device model: Motorola G84
  • Android OS version: 14

Any additional information?

Interestingly, the history view have a different background color whether it was opened with an incognito or a normal tab on the foreground. This isn't the only view with this situation and looks a little bit surprising, but I'd guess that's a choice here?

Severity: -- → N/A
Type: defect → enhancement

Thanks for reporting this! Yes, I believe this is by design so setting this as an enhancement.
