Progress of Tab Group Sync between devices

jbr replied

I see that back in 2015, @JSCHER2000 had a useful suggestion for manually syncing tab groups. See: [https://support.mozilla.org/mk/questi.../1053367]

Unfortunately, 11 years later, the option mentioned (to open a tab in a tab group, and right click, and choose "Bookmark all tabs") does NOT exist in current versions.

The extension "Tab Group Syncer" was mentioned elsewhere, and I tried it, but it appears that FF 154 has more security, and it can only see the ONE local device on the home network (itself), and NOT the laptop.

This means that currently, the usefulness of the Tab Groups is reduced a lot. In my use case, I frequently switch between the laptop and desktop, as my wife uses the laptop for most of her email/shopping/online ordering.

The latest open enhancement request in Bugzilla is: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.../show_bug.cgi?id=1979174]

As you will see, this 1 year old request is waiting on comment #2, and the discussion document is NOT public anymore. If any other users want this, I would urge you to open a BUGZILLA account, add your email to the notification list, and use the VOTE button to upvote it. NOTE: the voting UI is a bit clunky: You click the VOTE box, then you get a list (or just the one if you have only voted for this one), then you tick the box to vote, THEN click BACK arrow at the top of the browser, then click on the Refresh circle. You should then see your vote become visible.

Also note that if you want to be emailed about changes that, or ANY BUG in the Bugzilla site, then go to the bottom of its page, and click in the "email me" box, then click "Save Changes".

The enhancement timeline doesn't have anything interesting (there's no decision brief or anything similar, just meeting minutes from preliminary investigation between the teams that would need to add support for this), besides probably the original "Panorama" functionality tickets referenced that describe this in the original 2015~ish incarnation of the feature.

What the linked meta tickets however describe pretty well is that no single feature being synced on its own would cater to all the expected workflows; and at the same time would need to be supported on all the client apps that allow syncing as a prerequisite first. I think the good workflow–based feature discussion relevant to this is happening in connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/synced-work-spaces-or-synced-tab-groups/idi-p/22999
