Could we add an auto-close tab option for Android?

more options

Just as the title goes. I've been using Mozilla Firefox on desktop since 2005. The best hands down browser ever. I started using Firefox on android back in 2019.

I still love the android version, but my only problem with it is tabs. They stay open constantly. In the desktop application you close out and all the tabs close. In the android version I swipe up and there still there next time I load in. I don't like this at all. Unless I quit out of Firefox from the submenu, the tabs will stay open indefinitely.

I was hoping Mozilla could add an option to auto close tabs in 6 hours or something like that. Or close out tabs when I swipe up in android.

I have moved about 20 friends and family to Firefox and it's always going to be Firefox from now on. You guys rock!

Edit:

I just discovered you can auto-close tabs in the tabs menu. The problem is it closes in a day. I use it on the daily and unless I quit out of Firefox, those tabs will always stay open. Maybe like an auto-close in an hour would work better?

Thank you again for almost 30 years of trouble free Internet browsing.
