Multi-account containers + tab groups would make Firefox the perfect browser for me, and I wouldn’t be able to use anything else.
Multi-account containers are almost indispensable for developers. As for tab groups, I am currently using an add-on to manage them, but having a native feature would be very cool.
A better frontend for about:profiles would be great as well.
It’s about tf time.
19 plugin authors looking for a new project now
Pretty sure this existed on desktop firefox somewhere around 2005.
It did
Didn’t they use to have this years ago? And then removed it?
Perfect timing as I just recently switched back to FF from Chrome and Safari and I freaking need this.
Me too! For now, check out Simple Tab Groups extension.
Yes, that is my main one along with TST!
i started using tree style tabs which was absolutely life changing. best computer memory i’ve had in years, it’s a far more logical and space-friendly way to keep lots of tabs open and still be able to read the titles. i feel like specifically grouping adds too much overhead - i have to think about which group to put each into, and think (even a little bit) about where to find it later
I love the way the Tree is automatically created. Having the ability to rename the root on the occasion where it’s not intuitive, would be perfect.
About. Fucking. Time.
An option for an additional tab row would be nice as well. I’m not going to use the dev version to get that working (the only way to do so right now with an add-on)
Not the only way, been using the regular firefox version with multirow enabled via css mod applied.
I was led to believe that was not possible.
I’d rather see the kind of tab organization found in Arc browser, but let’s take this a decade at a time.
Arc works perfectly for my workflow. Using Firefox since Netscape days, but arc is really good. Don’t love that it is chromium and not open, but the ux is incredible. And air traffic control is such a nice feature.
I love Arc and I won’t change, probably even if they charge for it… I wish this wasn’t a feature only present in a Chromium derivative because it made my job much more productive and makes the move a bit difficult.
This is a good thing, but just as a pet peave - why do people keep so many tabs open on desktop web browsers? Every new tab uses more memory. Computers were not designed to have 100s of tabs open. There is no way anyone actually actively uses 100 tabs, and I see people all the time with so many tabs you can hardly even see what is there. There is a thing called bookmarks and folders for storing commonly visited sites on a computers hard disk rather than temporary RAM…
But I do think it is good firefox is adding the capability, as grouping can be useful if done right in moderation. But it’s just kind of funny the person asking for the feature admits to having huge amounts of tabs open.
My excuse would be ADHD, I constantly lose track of what I’m focusing on and when I do focus on something I want to explore every part of it, that means exploring every path/solution/fact etc about it, then it’s a I want to have this open because I will need in the future like tomorrow or I want to explore it more later so I don’t want to bookmark it because I will lose my thought process, but time goes on and I will focus on something else and the cycle repeat. I find it very hard to just close them because I keep thinking, I will need it soon but soon never comes or when it does I already closed it and now I’m blaming myself I didn’t have it open. It’s a silly issue to have but it’s how my brain works.
Those are my emotional support tabs, ok? yes all 22 of them.
Unfortunately, the way many companies are set up these days, they require employees to use multiple different web applications to do their job. And if you’re a developer, you need many different tabs for testing scenarios.
I, to my daughter: “For (this and that reason), you have to reboot your laptop.” Daughter: “But then I have to close the browser!!!” - she basically uses hundreds of browser tabs as temporary bookmarks, having pages open for weeks occasionally. Having to close down the browser is a panic-inducing thing for her…
Does she have ADHD by any chance? That’s a very consistent bit of behavior with myself and my ADHD homies.
Try a session manager add-on. In the list view, it’s easier to close the irrelevant ones, then save the important ones under a meaningful name, never to be restored - but just knowing it’s there if needed brings peace to mind, at least for me.
A tab may ascend to a bookmark once it has been verified good and/or useful.
Right now it is TBD, i came across it while looking at/for something and will keep going down that path, but want to take that tab page in in the future.
Vivaldi has tab hibernation so that the extra tabs barely take any resources unless you open them.
I use over 100 tabs. Basically serves as an always changing bookmarks. Those tabs are also split across multiple workgroups between which I can switch easily with a flick of my mouse.
Shut up heretic
lol
A wise person once told me
Unused RAM is wasted RAM
Having tab groups is not identical to using 30 tabs simultaneously.
It’s more like 2D bookmark layout, group by content, group by identity (cookies and co) and all with a website screenshot. It’s faster, more visual bookmarks.
Surely they just integrate tab tree. I’ve used it for years and feel lost without it. It’s a very clear way of showing relationships between tabs.
Been waiting for this. The tab group extension didn’t work well for me.
This is actually great. I hope it makes it to Firefox Android as well.
I don’t actually have a use for it. But my partner is a huge tab group user on mobile, so I can’t switch her off of Chrome. If this launches on Firefox Android she would probably switch. It would be great for privacy and browser diversity.
pinned tabs work for me, but edge has a nice grouping feature, I hope it’d be similar to it
Firefox had tab groups in their beta 10 years ago, idk why they removed it. Was great!
Firefox needs passkey support ASAP
