Форум спільноти Firefox для Android

I got a big announcement pop-up on Firefox desktop that support for mobile tab groups was added in 153 - https://www.firefox.com/en-CA/firefox/android/153.0/releasenotes/. I'm currently on 153.0.2 (Build #2016175759), and have no tab group feature.

Looking at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups-firefox-android, none of these features are visible for me. Nothing in my tab area mentions groups, the section at the top (private/normal/other devices) doesn't have a "groups" section, and I can't drag tabs onto other tabs to create groups.

My only installed add-on is uBlock Origin. Is there any reason this feature isn't available for me?

When i downloaded the app, it automatically came with the ability to group tabs, but after i customized several settings it took all of my tabs out of the groups and i can't group them anymore. The settings i changed ranged from privacy to personalization, i tried to reverse some of them to see if that would help and did a bunch of back and forth, but it's still not coming back. (Im trying to leave chrome because i noticed it had some very concerning lack of privacy settings that messed with my phone's ability to function properly if i turned them off. And Edge is worse.) Firefox seems better, but without the group tabs option it makes it waaaay too ridiculous to try and do any real work with it. I do a lot of multitasking and research and need to be able to bounce around and organize stuff. Your help stuff on tab groups doesnt say anything about how to turn it on or off. So... how do i get it back?

Firefox is a great browser. Please add "Open in New Tab Group" to the long-press menu and floating tab bubbles for quicker tab switching. These features would make multitasking and tab management much more convenient on Android.

I love the browser and use it daily with Android phone and Linux laptop.

Concerning the new Android version, it is great. But please, bring back the select all tabs function. I like to save and backup my tabs by sharing them externally, and selecting them one by one is a very slow process.

Appreciate!

When I woke up to an update saying tab groups were now on android I was thrilled. ... And then I couldn't use them.

I have confirmed, to the best of my ability, that I am on the correct version, version 153.0, in the firefox settings. I have read the article about creating them back to front. I turned my phone on and off again, cleared the cache, etc etc... As far as I can reasonably tell, it should work, and it just doesn't.

I've been trying to move off from Chrome to FireFox (FF) since FF is superior in many ways but it's been very hard since FF doesn't have the sub-tab groupings like Chrome does to help with organizing my open tabs.

It's easier for me to move from Chrome to Edge browser instead of FF.

Can Mozilla FF add this "sub-tab groupings" feature please ASAP to help me and millions others move on from all Chromium based browsers?

Thank you!

I cannot group tabs on Firefox android (mobile). I am on version 152.0.4. Whenever I try to group tabs by hovering one tab over another, it just shifts the other tab away. Theres also no selection for making a group when I press select tabs. I tries everything; from going to chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml (there was no setting for browser.tabs.groups.enabled) to going into secret settings and pressing control for tab groups android rollout. (I asked AI for help and followed close to all of its steps) Please help!

I am no longer able to move tabs around. When long pressing on a tab it is only being selected, but I can no longer drag it to another position. In some rare occasions it's working, but only after several tries.

You changed the new tab behavior a few updates ago where new tabs don't get opened besides the current tab but rather at the very end of the tab list. And me having quite alot of tabs open forces me to scroll back quite along time to get back to my previous tab.

An option to revert to the old behavior would be neat.

Give us an option to turn off the group tabs it's been a headache for me I don't want this feature so just give me an option to turn it off please 👍 In fact an option to turn any future feature off would be fantastic adding an off option on every feature should be a default feature there's a lot of things I would turn off and I'm sure there's a lot of future features I would turn off so just add an off switch for everything in the future 👍

I have a suggestion for UX, UI in Android version. Like my attached pictures below, please put 3 buttons on the top (circled in red highlight) to the bottom to help us easy to click since then our thumb can't reach from the bottom to the top. Thank you.

On android phones, you can disable the gesture hint (white bar at bottom of screen). Other apps I have tried while having it disabled have no issue. With Firefox however... when gesture hint is off and i swipe up from the bar, my finger is technically swiping at the address bar, which (aside of sending me to home - because that's what the up gesture does on the bottom) opens the tab switcher.

Hi! I´m a big shortcut user and a year-long Firefox fan and user. Now it´s the first time I´m using an Android tablet (Boox Tab X C) and the typical shortcuts for new tab (Ctrl + T), close tab (Ctrl + W), etc. do not work. I researched this a little and it seems to be by design. Why do you forsake us, Firefox god??

In any case, thanks for the good work folks. Love the Mozilla name and what it stands for for a long time now. Peace

This behaviour change happend a while ago and has just now bothered me enough to write up a bug about it.

If I have a tab open, navigation bar at the top, I edit the text of the bar and change it to a different URL and hit enter. The current tab I am on is put in the background and a new tab opens for the website I went to. I now have infinite tabs open because they used to close naturally and my back button worked normally and now I have just weird tabs.

Also there is no rhyme or reason to the order of my tabs, they used to be chronological, but now I edit a URL and it might take me to the tab from a month ago with it open and then every tab after that is in the middle of a hundred tabs from a month ago.

I wish that you would properly complete the changelog for android updates as well as this change in behaviour has taken me from someone who has manageable 10 tabs to a chaotic million that I never close, but won't enable automatic closing of old tabs (which I think was added when this change happened) because I have legitimate tabs open that I want to not be closed. It is just a real suck fest to get to them now since I have so many stupid ones from just editing the URL.

TL;DR I want to have android Firefox work like every other browser on the planet when I edit the URL I want to navigate away from the page. When I search I want to navigate away from the page. You took that away and the browser has been worse because of that.

When will "Firefox for Android" have grouped tabs?

NB: Grouped tabs add a better accessibility, arranged usage, speed, design & yet more...
