Quick Tip: How Many Firefox Tabs Are Open On Your Android Phone? Here’s How To Close Some Or All Of Them
How many tabs do you have open on your iPhone in Firefox? I've had upwards of 30, because it's unclear on mobile how many tabs are open compared to Firefox on your desktop computer or laptop.
In this Quick Tip, I'll show you how to locate your tabs on mobile and how to close individual or all open tabs.
As you can see above, at the bottom of the screenshot of my home page, you can see the number "8" with a square around it. That means, as of that moment, I had 8 tabs open in Firefox. Please tap that number.

Here, you will see how many open tabs there are. You can tap the "X" in the right hand corner of each tab preview, or tap the trash bin icon at the bottom left for the option to close ALL open tabs.
Here's an example of what you'll see when you tap the trash bin icon. At the bottom of the screen, there are two options: Close All Tabs, and Cancel.

If you lose all tabs, you'll see the default "new" tab, with suggestions of the websites you visit most on your phone, Recently Saved websites, and Recently Visited.
To open a new tab, tap the "1" at the bottom of the screen, which indicates just one tab is open, and you'll see the option to open a new tab.
The more tabs you have open on your mobile device, the more system resources will be used by Firefox, which affects performance. So be sure to check how many tabs are open on your mobile device and close any of the tabs you no longer need, or all of them if so desired.
