So a couple of years back you redesigned Firefox for Android and came out with a completely new version. This version for some reason opens every new site in a new tab as opposed to having the option to open a new site in the current, already open tab. I use my browser intensively, browsing news sites and forums and because of this tab behavior, at the end of the week I have accumulated around 60(!) tabs.

There is a setting that auto closes inactive tabs but I'd like to have control over my tabs and sometimes even keep a specific tab (not all tabs) with a specific site so that I can read it (way) later. This means this option is not usable for me. Also, when you visit a pinned site that's already open, it opens that specific, already opened tab which is nice but that also doesn't work very well for 2 reasons: 1> it just opens a cached tab which means that you have to refresh the tab anyway to get latest content and 2> like mentioned I browse a lot of news sites and forums and whilst those have the same main domain, the individual articles and threads I visit means that most of the times I get a new tab anyway.

Firefox is my favorite browser on my PC for like 15 years now and it used to be also my favorite browser on my phone but I'm just gonna delete it from my phone again. I just don't want a million tabs open! Every once in a while I check if Mozilla might have implemented more control over the tabs but unfortunately they don't. I honestly would like to know from the developers what the thought process about this annoying tab behavior is. This is the only browser I know that has this weird tab behavior.

Please consider implementing more control over the tabs and let me use the current tab when I browse to a pinned site or other site instead of spawning a new one everytime.

That doesn't do anything for my mentioned issues. If anything, it only confirms it works the way I described.
