Hello. I love the feature. I didn't know it was a new feature because I started using Firefox around April. I saved my group tabs, very happy about it. Then I close and save it, then I opened it again, it was great!

I am a student, I use my group tab to add the tabs that have the resources that I need to, and would also like to study for more knowledge and for my next school year.

There was no problem at that whole time. In April 21, there was no problem until April 22, 23 no problem. But I forgot my charger at that time, because I was at my mothers house. Then I wait for weeks for my charger to come back, about 2 weeks for my laptop to revive there in my grandparent's house.

When I got my charger, and opened firefox. Wait, but at first when I opened firefox, it showed me that there is a new update, an update about tab groups that I already now. I looked at my group tabs, and they are not there anymore.

What should I do to get them back.

I was excited to receive the new Tab Groups feature and am now disappointed that it's not working and I've 'lost' dozens of tabs.

Here's what I did: I created several groups by right-clicking and added tabs to each of the groups. Since it appears that only way to collapse a group is to "save and close group," I closed each group. Now they are all gone. When I right-click to create a new group or "add tab to group," the closed groups are nowhere to be found. Plus, I do not see a "list all tabs icon" on my toolbar to reopen the grouped tabs, which is what [article] says should happen.

Suggestions for making this work?

Hello,

I dislike the Group Tabs feature. So many times I've accidentally created a Group Tab and then had to figure out how to un-group them.

I've tried to change the value of the "browser.tabs.groups.enabled" preference to false, but it doesn't stick; after restarting, the value is always back to "true".

What’s up with this?

Thanks, Andre’a

Running FF 138 64-bit on Win 10 Home, and tabs won't combine. When I move one tab over another, I get NO GLOWING RING, and the tabs just swap places as I move the first tab over the second one, no matter how slowly I move them. It doesn't work in Vertical Tabs, either.

Just started using Waterfox on MacBook.

When I use <Command><Tab> to switch back to the application, although the icon does appear on far-left on the display of application icons, indicating it is the foreground application, the application does not appear in front of the other applications as is usual MacBook behaviour.

The new group tab feature of latest update of Firefox browser (just downloaded) doesn't actually work. What's detailed in the description doesn't exist. I'm using macOS Sonoma version 14.7.5 Of course it restarted following the upgrade.

Tabs can take up a lot of space, 1-2 gigabytes if you don't watch. That really slows down the browser. Seems to me that merging tabs will, if you aren't careful, seriously slow the computer. Comments?

How do I get Firefox to show page information when hovering over a tab on the Firefox tab bar? It did this until one of the recent updates and now that doesn't work and I can't find anything in settings to control this feature.

Hello, My Firefox recently updated (it's now v. 138.0.1), and now I can't seem to create tab groups anymore. When I move one tab on top of another, nothing happens. What can I do to get this useful tool back? Thank you!

According to the most recent update page, this function should be working for all users by now. (see attached screenshot).

It is still not working for me. Has the timeline been postponed? Is anyone else still unable to use this function?

Thank you!

the tab groups page i was shown by firefox says i should be able to group my tabs starting at the latest yesterday but my tabs still just move out of the way and refuse to group. i found container groups but they work nothing like the page showed. i have firefox version 138 and the tab groups was starting to be roled out on 137

Liebes Firefox-Team, ungefähr Mitte letzte Woche habe ich im Firefox-Browser 2 Tab-Gruppen erstellt. Aber nachdem ich den Browser wieder geschlossen und mir anschließend die aktuellste Firefox-Version heruntergeladen habe, waren die 2 Tab-Gruppen urplötzlich verschwunden und unauffindbar.

Jetzt hoffe ich ganz stark, dass Ihr weiterhelfen und mir hier sagen könnt, wo bei Firefox meine 2 Tab-Gruppen abgeblieben sind.

HOFFNUNGSVOLLE Grüße Janina

The new native tab group feature has an option to "Save and close group", implying that you can restore the group. But doing this, you will find that the group disappears.

Is this a known bug? Has anyone figured out how to restore a saved tab group?

With the progressive rollout of tab groups having ended (I am assuming that because they are available by default in fresh installations), I would expect them to be available when I sync with my Firefox profile. However, when I sign in to the browser to sync all my settings, the option disappears. I am more interested in why the rollout never reached me than being told to enable tab groups in `about:options`. The profile switcher is also not showing up, but I am not sure if that is still in beta.

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.
