Idea about split-screen on the same page - adding a pagination feature would be a great bonus

[BENZHA]

Like Edge and Chrome, Firefox recently updated its split-screen functionality, allowing two tabs to be opened simultaneously.

For someone like me who works in cross-border e-commerce, this feature is incredibly useful. I can look at the translation on the left while editing my own text on the right, eliminating the need to constantly switch tabs and greatly improving my work efficiency.

I really like Firefox's clean and concise UI, so I'd love to complete all my work on Firefox. Therefore, adding a pagination feature would be a great bonus.

Another thx for Split view in same Tab.

However, compared to Chrome I miss more grannular controls (close left/right & switch places) but MOST IMPORTANTLY I miss the ability to PIN Tabs with Split view remaining.

As it stands trying to do this the Pinned Tab contain only the webpage to the left in split view. Also, weirdly it seems that if I have dragged to change the relative sizes of views before pinning, the pinned tab results containing a empty, dark area to the right corresponding to that views size, that does not even respond to RMB! This area remains if reloading the pinned Tab. Something is clearly Fishy here!

Anyway, If we could get ability to Pin Tabs with Split view (As well as Tab-groups containing split vies Tabs) that would really rock!

Cheers!

Hi! @Mongokino!

Now that the core part of the Split View experience went live in Firefox 149, we are hoping to support adding pinned tabs to split view a little later in the year. When you tried the feature in Nightly, it may not have yet had the URL bar icon and the footer controls that allow you to reverse tabs in the split view and separate them. 

You can close left / close right by clicking X on one of the tabs added to the split view. We have considered adding these options to the split view URL bar and footer menus, however, we felt that it would be more useful if in the future it contained options for "clearing" left and right side of the split view, so you can go back to about:opentabs on any side of an existing split view in 2 clicks.
