@bws-chicago Moderators here are volunteers and can't promise anything. A report on the bug tracker is best, but I can try to bring it to their attention.

@leocg What is about:

• No support for JavaScript like e.g. Safari (Mouseover to Mouseclick conversion for Touch…)
• Better Gesture Support like ‚back‘ and ‚forward‘.

@nirott The problem with the X to close a tab not being accessible when you use a touch device, since the topic is about that.

@leocg Can I create a ticket for additional missing touch support or would it fine to open a new thread to have it separated?

@nirott You can create other topics for the other issues.

@bws-chicago Found a somewhat temporary solution. The extension "tab to window" creates a button on the top right when pinned. By touching it, it pops the tab out to a window and then you can close the window. Still have to do an extra touch, but it’s a bit faster than a long touch to bring up the menu and avoids accidently touching close all. I was bringing up the touch keyboard and using Ctrl+W to avoid accidently touching close all, but that was just as slow as a long touch and it was still a lot of extra unnecessary touches.

Good news everyone! [insert Futurama reference here]
The "X" for closing the active tab is always visible in the latest developer build (not just on mouse over).
Please make it always visible on inactive tabs too: I'm used to close inactive tabs using touch.
