Clearing history sometimes rearranges my open tabs on the iPad

On my iPad when I tap on Menu Icon > History > Trash Icon > Everything, the tabs refresh/flash and then the order of the tabs change. For example,

Old tabs: 1 2 3 4 (active tab is 2) New tabs after clearing the history: 1 3 4 2 (active tab is now 3)

Is there a way to prevent this? I’d like to keep the original order of my tabs.

Regards.

Maybe it’s better to report issues there instead of here. I think this support forum is just among end users and Firefox devs probably don’t really go here.
