Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not seeing it. Is it possible you're referring to Firefox and not Firefox Focus? Or maybe the Android version of Firefox Focus has that feature and the iOS version doesn't?

It does - long tap a link and you can open in a new tab.

By googling the issue I see that tabs in Firefox Focus are an Android feature only.

Can't imagine a single use case for when I'd prefer a tabless browser. I also can't remember seeing literally anyone complain when browsers start adopting tabs, even though people complain about anything.

Tabs have always bothered me. You have the OS, which has its own mechanism for launching and switching between applications. And then one of those applications (the browser) launches and switches between applications within it.

It’s always felt to me like that should be unified.
