What is the most efficient way to close the current tab I'm in on Firefox for iPad?

That is, without having to do is go to the list of all the open tabs and looking for the one I'm in in order to "X" it out. Thanks in advance.

I don't think there is another way, but that's a great observation. Maybe they could highlight the current tab in the list, or implement a press-and-hold to close the current tab.

Thanks for the feedback. The simplest implementation would be if there were a "close tab" icon as one of the choices when the triple-line menu button (on the top left) was pressed - perhaps a minus (-) sign next to the "new tab" plus (+) sign that's already there!

As a separate matter, it would be nice if that menu that opens up could be customized a little.

Thanks again
