2009807 - [spike] Investigate expanding the tab reordering API so other functionality can be added

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Tabs, task)

Description

[Noah Bond [:007]]

In order to implement Tab Groups, we'll need to have a locked-in drag-and-drop gesture. We will likely need to either re-purpose our existing reordering logic (grid, list) or write some new gesture code for this use case.

For this spike:

• Investigate our existing tab reordering code and determine a path forward for supporting drag-and-drop initiated Tab Group creation.
• Create a proof of concept of the proposed modifications.

For a proof of concept we can simply use a tab list or a demo Composable where we can drag two items on top of each other and trigger some visual side effects, such as a Snackbar or a Dialog (a la Tab Group creation).
