And yet they've turned their back on *Android tablet users and refuse to support the tab bar.

Ridiculous. Only reason I switched to Vivaldi

Which is odd considering it’s been a “first class citizen” on iPadOS by supporting features: https://www.lowyat.net/2019/181498/the-new-firefox-for-ipad-now-supports-split-screen-tab-tiles-keyboard-shortcuts-and-more/
Vivaldi is great though, I hope you’ve enjoyed it thus far!

iOS/iPad OS is relatively much easier to develop and it's a completely different branch from Android as it's a skin on top of Safari Web View. All other platform use their own Quantum/Gecko Engine.

Right, however, a basic tablet UI which Firefox previously had and many browsers have shouldn’t be hard for Mozilla to implement on Android.
Android has scaling so a tablet UI should look normal on most devices.
