Despite Tab Groups not yet being "rolled out" in Australia, I am wondering if "Container Tabs" will still be Supported (in the following ways):

1. Will Container Tabs still be able to be used effectively in concurrence with Tab Groups? 2. Is it planned that Tab Groups is being developed to replace Container Tabs? 3. If one will be able to use Container Tabs concurrently with Tab Groups, can different Container Tabs Types be split over different Tab Groups? 4. Is it planned that Tab Groups will supersede Container Tabs in terms of Protection, Privacy, etc.....? 5. Will Tab Groups be able to be put to sleep/hibernate in order that Firefox "speed/memory" is not effected?

Whilst on the subject of Tab Groups and Container Tabs: 6. Up until a few updates ago, when the mouse was hovered over a Container Tab, a dialogue box would indicate: the Tab Subject, Site Identity and Container Tab Type. Please bring back the Container Tab Type when the mouse hovers over a Container Tab..! 7. When this (Valuable) information was ceased, the only way to get similar information - namely the Container Tab Type - has been to use the: List all tabs icon {tab icon 2} at the Right hand end of the toolbar. It is a blessing that this was not changed, but still a bit of a nuisance to check them both! Why is this an issue you may well ask? - I am sure I am not the only Firefox user (Forever) - with memory decline!

Thanx

I have a couple questions on tab groups, I'm a new ms edge refuge but this not as smooth as I would like :). I realize tab groups are oddly new for FF, but I'm trying to get setup and running into two main issues. 1. I cant seem to freely reorder the tab groups, I can move the individual book pages no problem but not the groups as a whole. I would expect to be able to left hold click drag the order of the groups just like individual tabs. 2. Tab groups don't seem to exist across clients (or maybe I'm missing the how). If I open FF on my mac I would expect to see or at least be able to reopen the same tab groups as my windows PC, not just the individual pages from history on other device. Is there a way to do this? 3. can't import tab groups from edge? You don't want to make it easy for folks to switch?

Thanks, if I missed something happy to learn.

Firefox browser for Android is my favorite, but it still has many shortcomings, like you cannot use private DNS in it, there is no option of bookmark import export, you cannot move bookmarks up and down and create a group of tabs and you cannot use themes, and there is no Hindi language in the inbuilt translate, and the speed of the browser is also low and not smooth, I request you to work on whatever I have told you and implement it in the browser, thanks

Is there a setting that prevents Firefox from closing immediately when the X in the upper right corner is clicked? Thinking a question "Are you sure that you want to close Firefox" should pop up. Recently I've closed Firefox accidentally and lost all of my open tabs (I don't keep history).

Hello! I really enjoy using the Firefox browser. I just wanted to suggest that you have an option to write notes in each password profile that can also be secure. My iPhone has a notes section under each password profile. I use it to write info such as my airline advantage number, the email I used with that particular website, membership numbers, etc. I'm getting up there in age, so while I'm working on simplifying my life it helps to make notes to remember stuff. Can you suggest this idea to the right people at Firefox or Mozilla? Thank you for your help and consideration. Carolyn

Note: I am using an older computer at home right now but do use a new computer at work and will be upgrading at home soon.

by jump to specific history, I mean something like search in library > bookmark and right-click on specific link then "show in folder"

it would be very helpful if something equivalent of "show in folder" exists in the context of history search, I often search specific site and wondering what else sites I opened around that time (relative to specific site I found on search results)

if there's any workaround or alternatives, please leave a comment! ^^

A folder on the bookmarks menu that stroes individual bookmarks, fills half the screen of a standard 1080p screen with totally empty white space.

The padding in between each and every single bookmark, in any place that can store bookmarks, will be filled by at least 3 or 4 mm of empty white space. Between every single bookmark.

This is a huge amount of completely pointless scrolling.

Do you have an RSI? No?

Good for you. I, sadly do.

Has there been a fix for this cos the chrome folder .css "fix" is not working for me.

If i cant solve this i am going to change browsers. I dont care. I love Firefox and used it since the netscape days in the 90's, but am not going in for another surgery since you people insist of giving people more RSI's.
