Why/User Benefit/User Problem

On mobile tabs can stack up and make it hard to find what you're looking for.

What/Requirements

Something like this that would allow users to define the amount of time before auto closing their tabs. From a recent Safari mobile version.

• [ ] AC work to allow us to have a "last opened" value for tabs
• [ ] Fenix work to build up a Setting
• [ ] Fenix work to add this Setting to an onboarding card
• [ ] AC/Fenix work to auto close tabs after user defined amount of time (or never)

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

Users can define how much time should pass before tabs autoclose (or never). Users should be able to change this Setting at any time. Tabs should autoclose once they have expired by the users' definition. We may want to also look into adding #2486 if we work on this feature so users can find tabs that may have closed recently that they still want easily.

I keep all my tabs open until I'm finished with them. So please do not implement such a feature! Why would anyone want to close their without being done with them. After they have done all their work with the specified tabs they'll close them manually. I'm unable imagine a use case where this feature would be useful.

[ekager]

It would be an optional setting for users who want an easy way to manage their list of tabs.

[ghost]

This isn't going to be the default setting, right (where you'd close the tabs after sometime by default)?

If it is optional then it's great as It'll provide some customization with the tab management. But the default behaviour should be to never close the open tabs.

By the way, what happened to the option to close all tabs when I close the app? I think this should be part of this feature as well.

Hi @ekager , I've just checked this feature on both Nightly 200902 and Beta 81.1.0-beta.1 using the following devices:
• Google Pixel 3a (Android 10)
• OnePlus A3 (Android 6.0.1)

✔️ The Tabs are properly being deleted as per the option the user is selecting
❓ The CFR isn't displayed (after you open more than 6 tabs or after deleting in a row 6 or more tabs )

Could you please review and advise? ☺️
I'll remove the QA needed label until further notice

Thanks for testing and sorry for any confusion!
The CFR/banner is pulled out into https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/14243 and is not a requirement
