Can I turn off the tab groups?

I love Firefox and generally really appreciate the way y'all operate as a company and developer.

However, I really don't like this new function to add tabs to a group. Since it rolled out, I'm always adding tabs into groups when I don't mean to. Really, it's creating a group almost every time I move a tab around. If I delete the group, it's just more clicks and distractions to deal with.

In the past, when you've rolled out new features like this, you've also made it very easy to turn off any new feature we don't like. But I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is it possible?

Thanks for your help.

Hello zach.cannon

It is possible to disable the new tab grouping feature in Firefox, but the option is hidden in the advanced configuration and not exposed in the standard user interface. To turn off tab groups:

How to Disable Tab Groups

Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar, then press Enter.

Accept the risk warning if prompted.

In the search bar at the top of the page, type browser.tabs.groups.enabled.

If the value is set to true, toggle it to false by clicking the button on the right.

Tab grouping should now be disabled.
