Firefox Finally Did It (Tab Groups)

... again

finally firefox re-added tab groups, after removing them once already in the past >_>

As a librewolf babe, I'm keeping an eye on this: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2458

Tab grouping is so useful and something I've always had to resort to extensions for. Good for Firefox for this, can't wait for it to make its way to a browser that doesn't sell users data.

Why people like 50 tabs at once. I can't understand.

I'm glad they've added it to desktop, but based on my usage it's more important for me on mobile. Hopefully they bring it to Android soon.

live to help you declutter

Me ready to clutter even more 😈

I'll never understand you people that need like 50 tabs open at once.

Tab groups have always been there. They're called windows.

whoa. mozilla doing something the people want?? WHAT PARALLEL WORLD IS THIS?

Can someone at least help me understand what tabs have that bookmarks don’t?

If i have more then 4 tabs open i get anxious because i can’t intuitively remember what each does. I have folders for categories of bookmarks.

So after I save and close a group... where do I find it?

Ever since i switched to zen browser i hace not thought of coming back for a second.

Mh, I'll check out how it works but if I don't like it I can always stick with

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-tab-groups/

(And obviously 👎 for the inclusion of useless AI bs, would be nice if you can turn that off?)

Amg I couldn't figure out how to collapse. I'm so happy rn. I've been containerising everything. It's so soothing.

The lack of groups was the deal breaker for me, so after it rolled out to beta, I finally switched back to Firefox as my primary browser.

Last I tried, I don't think you could reorder or drag/drop groups and selecting multiple tabs doesn't result in "group tabs" in the context menu, but it is still decent enough.

ive seen this in opera, and instantly ran into the options to disable it. i donno how many tab you guys have in the browser, but may god forgive you all for using the browser wrong.

I’ve never understood this. You guys know you can have multiple Firefox windows, right? What’s the point of tab groups when you can just group related tabs in a different window? Between multiple workspaces, multiple monitors, and multiple browser windows, I never feel the need to have more than 5-10 tabs open on any one of them at a time. More than that and I’m clearly doing something wrong and need to clean up anyway.

A second browser window is the real solution. Or simply accept the chaos.

So now when I open my mom's computer, she see 20 tab groups, I'll know it's even worse than it looks...

The way they did it though.. the tab group name cant be collapsed so it takes a lot of room. I find I'm still using task oriented groups from the Simple Tab Groups extension, and then using the new core groups feature as a way to group subtopics for that task.

And before you say "you must have a million tabs".. I used to have millions of tabs, but now i average less than 100 when I have a lot of tasks I need to balance, and I know what all of them are open for. So when I complete a task I delete the Simple Tab Group and say bye to all those tabs.

Maybe add some decent vertical tabs too?

This was the only thing keeping me on chrome at work. Tab groups are so nice for keeping resources related to specific projects together, especially if you’re juggling several features/fixes at the same time.

After everybody else yeah... woopie fkn doo. I say this as a LibreWolf user and using Firefox on alt PC.

This is super neat, but I swapped to Floorp awhile back because I like the workspaces feature.

Super happy for folks who wanted this built-in tho.

I love it, it was basically the only thing I missed when I switched from Chrome to Firefox. I've reorganized all of my tabs and everything is so much cleaner than it was a few days ago.

Now we just need jxl, webgpu, and better themes!

What's the difference to the tab group extension?

Nice :)

Anyone know if it will be integrated into Fennec as well? Or, like, soon?

Might switch back, use vivaldi for workspaces, I switched because it synced across devices but I never use that feature I just end up retyping everything if I need to open something.
