Why doses back gesture doesn't delete the current tab. Whenever I go back to homepage it creates new tab and by the time I knew there are multiple tab that I need to close now. Back gesture should delete the current tab when we wanted to go to homepage. Chrome has this feature and Firefox should have this too. I just switched from that's why I am asking. Please guide me.

Yeah the behavior is kind of strange. Especially confusing because when you open a link in the new tab and then go back, then the tab is actually closed.
