Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature

Finally. Now my thousands of tabs will be hidden behind hundreds of tabs groups!

Firefox had tab grouping first. Before Chrome. And then it broke support for it when they did the add-ons overhaul. I'm surprised bringing it back wasn't a high priority...

Fucking took them long enough

I hope Firefox implements a great and robust tab grouping feature. Because they used to have one that worked beautifully.

Firefox used to have Panorama view, which was a way to group tabs with a nice visual interface. ...and they removed it because not enough people were using it.

...Well if you stopped removing useful and perfectly functional features, maybe you wouldn't need to rebuild them later when it turns out people do want that feature, huh, Mozilla?

There's an extension that reimplements Panorama and it kinda sorta works like it used to.

Thank Christ.

Can they also be synced container tabs Mozilla? As in synced across devices. I know there's a container tabs add on you can get, but it doesn't sync from my laptop to my desktop to my phone. Would be awesome if they did so natively.

While you're at it, could you add tree style tabs natively in Firefox? Pretty please, with cream on top.

See for yourself, it has almost 3,000 votes now. 👇

lol... some features requests on Android have many more votes and are being ignored by Google... like ad-hoc Wi-Fi

Just use Tree Style Tab

Please give me vertical tabs to I can switch to FF

Oh god, yes please. I would love to have that!

I'm glad they decided to bring back this feature. Really missed having it.

Nice! This is the one thing in other browsers that I wish I had in Firefox.

I might finally be able to switch to FF! Yay!

Tab Stash. Don't need nor will ever need anything else.

Promising news. Hopefully Mozilla will start listening to people again.

I recently started using simple tab groups and like it. I just wish there was a way to keep my tabs in groups sync'd across devices. So if I open or close a tab in a group on my desktop, when I go to my laptop that group would be updated with the changes. It doesn't seem to work that way currently, at least when I tested it out.

I've been using Ungoogled Chromium at work just for the tab grouping. I'll gladly use Firefox 100% if this is as good.

This is what has been keeping me on chromium for my study partition. I would love to use Firefox, but I need to group tabs by class. Once Firefox implements this I'll be able to drop google products completely.

This is exciting - after the demise of Panorama I used Quicksavers Tab Groups plugin, then when that died I moved to Simple Tab Groups, which to me is a good enough clone of Panorama. But something more modern would be super nice.

Again?

about time! hoping for built-in vertical tabs some time soon as well 👀

This is something I've wanted on Firefox for a while. Glad to see it's finally happening!

Please allow me to not use this. I switched to FF mobile because Chrome forced groups on their users and left no way to turn them off.

This will be good. When I switch to Firefox in 2019 Chrome had just added tab groups. No extension really replicated hope they felt.

I want workspaces, ideally in a sidebar like in opera. Arc also does workspaces well but Firefox doesn't have to go that far and have the tabs on the side too.

Chrome's only had this for like four years

Just bring normal tabs back to mobile, please. Tablet Firefox is the worst.

Makes sense. Clearly a popular feature.

Ok. Just let me know when it's available I guess?

Tab stacking? Can I finally come back to Firefox?

I just use several windows on several virtual desktops. It's much less cluttered.

Those hacks are needed because windows can't handle many things at once.

As.someone who only used a couple of tabs open and even then upon restart of Firefox only has one tab open, this seems like a feature I wouldn't really use?

I have been using the Simple Tab Group extension for quite a while now - imho it has been pretty great. Not sure if this announcement adds anything for me

Finally!

Fucking finally!

Nice! Even IE had a rudimentary version of this feature
