Add to tab group without expanding

[lilredindy]

Noticed the "new" tab group functionality.  Now that I have way too many tabs open I need tab groups..adding a new tab to a tab group would be easier if i didn't have to expand the tab group first...can i just add the tab to the tab group (colored square) without expanding it? thanks.

Hi!

This is something we're working on. You can follow this bugzilla ticket.

Updating status as this is being worked on — see @asafko's recent comment for more details, including a link to track the implementation. We'll share updates here too 😃

'Drag and Drop' for closed/minimized tab groups

Cheers to you, my hero developers!

Say you have a "maximized" or "opened" tab group. In this case it's no problem to drag and drop another tab into that group. BUT: When the tab group is closed/minimized and you try to drop another tab in/on that group, the little coloured (square) icon of that group slips from left to right and vice versa as soon as you reach it with the cursor. This behavior seems a little unintuitive in my opinion - it should slip from top to bottom; *sorry* No, it should be possible to drop a tab on that group symbol without having to open the group again, of course; in addition to the (in some circumstances tedious) '> right click > add tab to group > choosing group' procedure.

To go one step further: this drag & drop function could/should also be possible for entire groups (like dragging group B on group A in order to merge them).

A big +1

Hi folks, 

This enhancement has just shipped with release 144: once you update, you will be able to drag tabs into closed groups.

In a little bit, we will also try to follow up with a small optimization and show an unobtrusive toast notification. That way, one would be able to see confirmation that the tab was actually added to a group.

Great news...

This is now delivered in Firefox 144 — see @asafko's recent comment for more information. 

Try it out and let us know what you think 😃

Amazing! I have another idea: it would be wonderful if, when right-clicking on a tab to move it to a specific group, the destination group did not then expand/open.
