In previous SF versions the browser had close button while browsing in vertical orientation. With new SF 1.0.8.19 this functionality have been removed.

What is the new intended way to close active tab in vertical orientation?

To turn Jolla to landscape orientation or using the tab menu to close the active tab are bit unintuitive solutions.

There is also an existing post that suggest use long tap on tab menu button for closing, which would be quite good approach if the idea of the new update was to remove the buttons from the browsing bar?

Update: The closing the browser tabs has been changed since SF 1.0.8.19 => Post us not valid anymore.

I disagree, I thought it was quite confusing to have two buttons with an X on them during a page load, one to close the tab the other to stop loading. Having the close tab button only in the tab view, makes it quite clear what the button is intended to do.

@2Ti now the closing of tabs is not unified for portrait and landscape orientations i.e. the landscape orientation still has the X buttons for closing the tab and stopping the reload.

By having the tab close on tab switch button combined possibly with remose timer or yes/no confirmation question on both modes would make the closing process unified for both orientation modes

I know, I think that should go as well, it doesn't belong there.
