Unable to create new tabs after tab delete

[flg]

Steps to reproduce

With at least two tabs open, from an open tab, tap the tabs button to show all tabs. Swipe a tab out to delete it.

Expected behavior

The bottom bar should not disappear and creating new tabs should be possible. The keyboard should probably not be shown until a tab is selected and the address bar is shown where the text is entered.

Actual behavior

The keyboard is shown and the bottom bar (where the delete and the "+" button are shown) disappears. It's now impossible to create a new tab.

Device & build information

• Device: Iphone SE 2, 16.3.1
• Build version: 20D67
• First seen version: It's been here since I've had this phone a few years ago.

Thank you for adding this issue, can you re-attach the video, please? https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-ios/issues/13462 is this the issue you are encountering?

13462 does not seem to describe this specific problem. Not sure I understood everything though.

Github does not seem happy with displaying the video but if I download it back from GH I can play it. Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for looking into this issue.

I noticed that the problem seems to occur only when, after the tab is removed by swiping, the focus falls on a unused tab (unused meaning that no web page was visited and the address bar is empty).
