Hello

As a tab hoarder, two extensions that have been instrumental at keeping my sanity are
1. Papaly bookmark manager due to it's hierarchical folder-like display of bookmarks and ability to drag and drop organize all links. UI is similar to what I recreated:
Recreation of papaly interface in Logseq showing expanded and collapsed folders.Recreation of papaly interface in Logseq showing expanded and collapsed folders.
2. Tab manager plus to move tabs between windows mentally designated to different topics. Allows drag and drop , multiple tab selection and even distinguishes minimized windows. Only wish it had additional options like hide tabs/windows like in foxytab and also bookmarking.

As you notice, both these extensions have UI similar to that offered by firefox view open tabs and if these simple functionalities are added, would make default experience of firefox infinitely better for a user. Thanks to the two extensions I've been much more savvy with links although currently I've had to drop papaly due to unreliable service.

In summary, firefox view can benefit from:
1. Show tab groups like collapsible folder in firefox view
2. Have a bookmarks section similar UI to open tabs view
3. Allow multiple selection of tabs across windows and operations on selected tabs.
4. The ability to minimize/close windows and distinguish them, name them or completely hide them! I organize topics on different windows and I want to hide windows I'm not focused on. No, I won't close them or bookmark them for later.
5. Allow drag and drop operation, especially from open tabs/windows/tab groups to bookmarks and also vice-versa! Resuming browsing of compiled links can be as simple as dragging it into a tab group or window where you're already working on something similar.

I think this will satisfy the purpose of firefox view being to view everything in a nice visual with powerful interactable UI. I mean I'll just set my homepage to the bookmarks view if that were possible too ^^
