Seems to be a bug on Firefox on Android where the tabs don't show the right page. I haven't been able to track down exact steps to reproduce, but it happens regularly on my phone.

Hi Jay

I notice that you are using the Beta version of Firefox for Android - thank you for testing it.

Does this issue occur the main Release version of Firefox for Android?

Hi Paul, thanks for the response. I've just installed the non-beta Firefox and have reproduced the issue.

My steps were:

  • install Firefox
  • sign into my account
  • Set the search engine, set url bar to bottom
  • opened six tabs
  • tried swapping between them by sliding url bar
  • everything working fine
  • Minimise Firefox with home button
  • Opened it later (maybe 30 mins)
  • swiped between tabs with url bar
  • got the issue, where one tab is showing the content of another tab next to it

So it doesn't seem to be beta related.
