Mobile tab grouping

[droidcraft]

With the ability to move tabs currently in nightly it would also be nice to be able to group tabs the same way chrome does.

I'm giving up and unsubscribing from this topic. It's exhausting to continually get emails about new users who have signed up just to post about how important this is. 

The fact that the feature is still just under consideration is absolutely insane. Who is in charge of this decision? Who is the boss in charge of that person or team? 

Please be specific.

This may be good news! Let's hope for the best, fellow humans!

@Jon Can you confirm what's in @jcfyre's post? If so, so we have an ETA?

[CJSlayr]

This thread is the most significant relationship in my life right now. I, for one, hope it never gets fixed

@Jonplease make it not happen...

...good work!

I've waited for this longer than I've waited for Godot. Just wanting to add another markings to the wall.

What's the current status on this?

Is there any hope for firefox adding this feature? Its still not added three years later and it makes the firefox mobile browser a straight downgrade from brave browser imo.

11/13/2024 was the date they responded to my Google review and said it was under development. In one day it will be two months. There have been a few updates since then, but none containing the grouped tabs feature that is supposedly under development. I have high hopes as this is still my FAVORITE browser. I really hope that grouped tabs truly comes to light soon, and hopefully not with some weird clunky twist to it.

This is the only thing keeping me from switching to firefox.

I'm curious to know what take this long, between the first confirmation of dev start and now.

I guess the process of submission here - New Idea - Trending Idea - and so on... can take time, but man, 3 years for something this usefull and this common?

I saw that it's on "Exploring more" status now so quite well advanced. Let's hope it will be released soon !

@Harnesh hate to break it to you, but as someone who started following this in mid 2023, it's said Exploring more for a LONG time. I can't recall if it said that when I joined, but it has for at least a year.

This is the #1 missing feature coming from chrome. I keep lots of ranges open for things I'm working on (I always have lots on the go) and it's utterly senseless to try and manage 50-100 tabs in Firefox on Android. Whereas chrome I can keep track of it all with ease.

MOZILLA, ADD TAB GROUPS TO FIREFOX AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

It's unacceptable in this, the year of our pumpkin peruke, that Firefox doesn't support such a vital plugin. Frankly it's ableist (omg are we allowed to say that anymore?!) that an organisation committed to principles of open access wouldn't support a plugin that is a lifeline to the unfollicled community. Do you have any idea of the range of wig manufacturers that we have to dig through, the range in quality and where they're sourcing their fibre. Grab Toupes is the only specialist wig comparison plugin worth its salt and I simply demand that you support it. I won't wear badger again!

I looked into mobile Firefox a few years ago and didn't like it and stuck with Chrome.  With Google being too big for their own good and not caring about customers at all among other things going on lately (Facebook hating on Linux and Microsoft being Microsoft....) I've looked back into mobile Firefox again.  This time I was able to identify why I don't like mobile Firefox even though I have been using desktop Firefox for almost 2 decades now, it's the tab grouping.  I really hope this gets pushed forward sooner than later as it is the last step keeping me, and many others from reading the comments in here, from fully switching to Firefox on mobile devices.  I shall continue to use Chrome in the mean time but will be checking in often to see how this is coming along as the moment I see it is implemented and find it to be good then I'll finally switch for good.
