New Tab Function

When I hold control on my Mac and click on a Tab the box that opens has no option to rename or to group the tabs together....I am running Firefox 138. Clearly I am missing something. It offers a function that would save me a lot of time, I hope you can help

Hi Craig, this feature was turned on remotely using the study/hotpatch system (About Studies). Maybe that was disabled, blocked, or just failed on your Firefox. To turn the feature on manually:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste browser.tabs.groups and pause while the list is filtered - Firefox should show several matches

(3) If the browser.tabs.groups.enabled preference has a value of false, double-click it (or click the Toggle button or Reset button at the right end of the row) to change the value to true

Please don't change any of the other values (those are for a future feature that isn't ready yet).
