Seeking your feedback on Tab Groups

Hi all – I’m Gabriel, on the Firefox team.

We launched Tab Groups half a year ago, and since then we have introduced a number of improvements based on your feedback. You can read more in our starting guide (my personal favorite: previewing tab group contents by hovering). Now that the feature has been in your hands for a while, we would welcome your input on what comes next! 

As we explore future enhancements, we are especially interested to hear your perspective on two areas: 

  • Improving the usefulness of saved tab groups. How are you using saved tab groups? What benefits do they bring to your workflow compared to bookmarks (and bookmark folders)? How can we improve the experience? For example, we know there is a strong interest in being able to sync tab groups.
  • Workspaces. Some of you have requested a way to separate contexts by creating workspaces – for instance, sets of tabs and tab groups that are entirely isolated from each other, yet remain available within a single browser window. We are eager to learn more about your workspace use cases and where context separation via window management, profiles, and/or containers doesn’t meet your workflow needs. And is collaboration with others an important feature of workspaces for you? 

Thanks in advance!

Firefox vertical tabs tab groups could be improved in terms of hover/click behavior consistency.

  • Closed group title elements are not clickable on hover. Currently, clicking the hover area does not open the tab group, even though tabs themselves can be selected by clicking their hover area.
  • Opened group title elements do not have a hover selection state. It would be helpful if group titles had the same hover feedback and clickable behavior as regular tabs.

I have liked tabbed groups, however the one feature that I really need, is when I move all tab groups to a separate window, in the window title, it needs to show the tab group, not just what page I'm on.  For instance I have a tab group called "homelab",  When I right click on Firefox in my dock (I'm on a Mac) it shows the page that is open, but I want it to show either the tab group "Homelab", or the tab group and page title "Homelab: Unifi Controller". I am often switching between projects, and hunting down the firefox window where I had all the tabs open for a project takes me way too long.   Keep up the good work!
