Can't create tab groups

Making moves

After installing v138.0.1 on Win10, I was pretty interested in tab groups, because I have a dozen windows open that sort of replicates that. However, I can't actually form tab groups. I watched the little video on the announcement page, but that's not what happens. Rather, the tabs just re-order. I've tried sneaking up on them, pausing for a second or two as I move pixel-by-pixel, but no dice. I also didn't see anything obvious in the Settings menu. I restarted with no add-ons (via Troubleshooting mode) and still, nothing.

So, what obvious step am I missing?

Hello

Tab groups
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tab-groups

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1508899 is it this subject

1 - Go to Configuration Editor for Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox
2 - Enter a search term browser.tabs.groups.enabled, and ckeck if, true.

And another illustration about https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/allow-reordering-group-tabs/idc-p/94861/highlight/true#M50208

Interesting, the `browser.tabs.groups.enabled` option in `about:config` was set to `false` (which is apparently the default, according to the setting itself). Once set to `true`, the new option works as expected. Thanks!

(Also, why doesn't this forum have an inline code options? I'm leaving my backticks, anyway.)
