Tab Groups doesn't help with clutter

When the new Firefox version offered Tab Groups, I was enthusiastic. I have a huge number of open tabs reflecting all aspects of my life. What a disappointment to find now that all those individual tabs are still sitting there on the tab bar, just grouped. I need to COLLAPSE those groups, at least until I hover over or right-click the group icon. What a bother.

That's cool!

Rick, does that work for you?

Yes, that works, thanks. Funny the introductory information didn’t mention that. Since I’ve got you I’ll mention another irritating behavior. When you right-click on a tab and choose Add Tab to Group, you get snapped away from your current location in the tab bar and taken to wherever that group is sitting. I’m at that particular location in my tab bar for a reason; I don’t want to visit where that group is residing on the tab bar, which could be whole screens away. It’s disorienting and time wasting.

On the plus side, I see that there is now a “Search tabs” option. That’s going to save me time.
