You can see the Spatial layers proposal with the back button in the bottom chrome here: https://mozilla.app.box.com/s/qhvwe6treaej7xurmormm3ir5q3in06d It should be public. Let me know if you can't access it.
The UX team was also looking at whether or not the edge gesture should go back in history rather than switch apps in this model. Both options can be used simultaneously. If someone then wants to change the behaviour an add-on could accomplish that. They'll likely play with these options to see what feels best.
