You asked, we built it: Firefox tab groups are here | The Mozilla Blog
(blog.mozilla.org)
Have any Simple Tab Group users tried out Mozilla’s very overdue revisit to this functionality?
I’m interested in pros and cons before switching over.
This update borked my Sidebery config. It doesn't expand on hover anymore. I will look into it after I wake up but does anyone have an idea what could they changed on CSS?
Edit: Took me some time but it's fixable.
Pretty much every update screws up my config these days, but it's good because it means they're actually working on improving the interface

Still waiting for mobile, tab groups missing from Firefox mobile is the only reason I'm still using chrome
"You asked, we built it" = "Your data is profitable, so we slapped AI on it and feign altruism".
Hoping someone might be able to help me out with this info, I've tried looking and can't find a solid answer.
When you use the "Save and close group" feature of tab groups, do they
-
Stay forever, no matter if you close Firefox, restart your pc, not used that group in months etc.
-
Allow an unlimited, or at least a high number, of saved and closed tab groups.
I mainly ask because it specifically puts closed and saved tab groups in a section called "recent tab groups" which sounds suspiciously temporary.
Finally! Thank you!
Now do vertical tab groups pleeease
edit: turns out the tab group flag was set to false when I switched to vertical tabs. Toggling it to true enabled them
Try using Zen, it's basically Firefox with vertical tab groups.
What do you mean by vertical tab groups? Cause we just got tab groups and a while ago we got vertical tabs. And you can ofc use them together. Isn't that vertical tab groups?
~~I don't think you can~~
OMG You're right
Considering I've been screeching this to myself, I wonder how they heard.
Great. Now do Guest mode. It's a must-have for places like libraries and internet cafes - if Firefox equalled Chrome in this regard it'd easily gain a percent on the market share scale.
Is Guest mode different from Private Browsing?
In fact - no, it's just a reskin of incognito to make it not feel like you're not watching porn.
Which might make it feel like a non-issue and a useless thing to add, but flip that around - it's a low-cost, potentially very high-reward improvement. It really should've been implemented ages ago.
The only things that need to be changed is the new tab page and the toolbar - both design "improvements".

I've been using them for a few weeks now. Lifesaver as I try to organize stupid bullshit that life forces on me.
Ohhh that's what it is! I was did couple times since the last update; by mistake, didn't know what it was. Now I know.
