Been using it for a couple of months now at work. It's good.

I also appreciate how intuitively it works. I wasn't aware of this feature when it first landed in developer edition, but after I accidentally created a group with drag and drop, the feature just clicked.

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

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

  1. Stay forever, no matter if you close Firefox, restart your pc, not used that group in months etc.

  2. 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.

Still waiting for mobile, tab groups missing from Firefox mobile is the only reason I'm still using chrome

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.

I am on Vivaldi now but after manifest v3? I'm very happy to see tab ~~stacking~~ grouping come to Firefox based browsers as that's definitely the escape plan, possibly very soon.

I've been using them for a few weeks now. Lifesaver as I try to organize stupid bullshit that life forces on me.
