Greetings...

I am a frequent user of multiple tabs whenever I use Firefox. As a result, the new Tab Groups feature interests me, primarily if it will help my to organize and manage my multiple open tabs. Initially, I have the following specific questions.

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of tabs that a Tab Group can contain?

Q: Is there a maximum quantity of Tab Groups that can be open at the same time?

Q: Does the use of one or more Tab Group negatively affect the performance of my web browser?

Q: Can a Tab Group be bookmarked? (Periodically, I need to bookmark a group of open tabs and I am currently able to do so by selecting all of the tabs then bookmarking them as a set.)

Q: Does the new Tab Groups feature represent a way to reduce the number of open tabs that appear at the top of my web browser - basically, a way for multiple open tabs to occupy a smaller space versus scrolling them across the top of my web browser?

Thank you very much for your feedback! Take care...

Greetings

It has been 5 years since Chrome introduced tab grouping. Meanwhile, the devs decided to start working on AI instead of getting this done ASAP. My workflow is completely dependent on Firefox so I can't simply change to another browser, the extensions available are not useful for me and I really miss this feature. Since this feature appeared on Nightly I've installed it and my experience just got a lot better, however, Nightly is just too unstable for me. Therefore, is there any way that I can cherry pick from Nightly this one feature that's totally working to my stable Firefox build through the browser itself without having to go to git/source code?

I really wouldn't like to wait another don't know how many years so they can get this done. I guess that my question would also be useful for other features that people are interested, that were already developed and that haven't been released yet.

The great and mighty Firefox that lords it over all other browsers about privacy has far too many opt-out features and options. I'm happy to know I participated in 22 studies before I found the toggle to turn it off, whatever the Hell those studies are. I haven't used Firefox in 13 years and this is the sort of non-sense I return to?

I don't actually want an answer, I just needed to complain.

Please make vertical tabs better

(btw my browser is Firefox Nightly) Don't get me wrong, I love having vertical tabs. It's less busy than the horizontal tabs and I can look through my tabs more quickly. But, the way it's implemented sucks - It makes the layout of the webpage pop anytime I use it; there is no keyboard button attached to opening and closing the tab (I have to go through my horizontal bar to open my vertical bar); and recently my browser forgets the sidebar settings, meaning I have to re-check the "Hide tabs and sidebar" setting.

Bonus request Can the sidebar just go over the webpage (i.e. like the application menu) instead of squishing it? I'm ok with having some webpage features temporarily covered if it means I don't have to see the screen pop into a new rectangular shape every time I switch tabs.

Are you satisfied with the way it behaves? Do you find the tool awkward to use? Extremely sensitive to movement during capture. Tends to jump around, for lack of a better term. I just tried to copy a portion of a page, and during the in the attempt, it jumped to the bottom of the page, and there was no way to adjust back, so i have to start over.

The other day I wanted to save a full page, but both buttons would only "Save visible". No scroll.

Why is the no option to save in another format? The help article here says you can convert it afterwards.

Hasn't they been enough time to make a few small refinements.

Can you suggest an addon that will do the same jobs better?

'm not a programmer, but the almost daily new versions of Firefox that you publish make me question whether you know what you're doing? It's a shame to have a product that needs so many constant fixes. I've been using Firefox almost since the beginning, ie 20 years, but I'm seriously considering trying Opera or another browser that doesn't offer a new version every day.

I would like to reiterate everything said below. This needs to be a standard feature. This seems like a no-brainer and should be a standard function on any browser. It only shows that Mozilla is getting left behind, even Edge has this feature, what makes it worse...IE had this feature and that is considered ancient tech now. from: kenmendell Now that I've got you and we're on the subject, Firefox seriously, MOST seriously, needs to bring back the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and have a "Save All Tabs" command of its own. There are no third-party apps and Add-Ons that do this very well anymore or at all, the older ones that used to do this no longer work well or at all. Firefox needs them in the browser to stay. It's never been the same without the "Bookmark All Tabs" command and trying to "Save All Tabs" the same way you would save a single page with "Save Page As" is frustratingly impossible to do. Any older Add-On or program that did this no longer works well or at all and hasn't for almost a decade or longer. It needs to be a standard function of any advanced browser. Firefox needs these functions as the normal standard. So, bring this up with your design team as an imperative because my having to migrate to these other lesser capable browsers the way others have doesn't appeal to me when Firefox should be a decade beyond their design and development, especially for functions that shouldn't be difficult hurdles for any modern browser to have.

This is a suggestion on how to delete Bookmarks Unfortunately when backing up bookmarks, then restoring them, this results in many duplications. To be effective there should at least be an option whether or not to accept a duplication. Otherwise the result, in reality becomes unmanageable.

To overcome much of the effort just select what is superfluous and use the Delete key.

An organized Bookmarks menu (using folders) can really make the Internet a place to find anything later that has value in the moment.

I've been using Library techniques for over 40 years. Microsoft's Favorites were my first introduction. Hopefully FF will tend to be very similar. What now exists is difficult to use in a number of ways.

Since the last update to 136, home screen shortcuts are awful. Icons are smaller, but that is not the main issue. Biggest issue is the text below icons: I do not need it, it just confuse my view, so since this morning I have missed 3-4 times my favourite sites! It is not good. Please consider rollback the look from previous version, now I have to downgrade Firefox

Seriously? How many updates do you need? We're getting what... 1-2 per week? That's some smegging awful coding. Why not do something mildly intelligent that makes it look like your software isn't full of crap, like only putting in /at most/ one update a month? 1-2 a week makes Mozilla look worst than a Mickey Mouse operation. Hell, worse than a Betty Boop. Unless there's some super-critical omega-level security hole that needs to be plugged, you shouldn't have to have me update my browser more than twice a year.

Show some sense already.

I had a Firefox update yesterday, April 29th. Since then, my Bookmarks sidebar no longer opens automatically when I open my Firefox browser. I have to go to the sidebar icon at the upper right of my screen to open the Bookmarks. I went to my settings, and the box for automatic opening was not checked. I checked the box, and it still does not function. Any ideas as to what the problem is, and what the solution could be?
