I'm personally a heavy tab user but have always wondered why there is almost no support for tab grouping or customization in the native tab bar in Firefox.

I think making it able to group like Google Chrome does for example or at least giving more access for extensions and add-ons would significantly improve the UI in that regard.

Is there an officially stated reason that Mozilla does not want to implement this? Patent infringement etc.? Internal design limitations?

At least speak up and let the community know.

You've been saying that for ages. Can we get a real update? How far along in development are they?

The same! I had to install Chrome to have this option. Different windows (it was a suggestion here) is not a good alternative for me, it is not user friendly.

Can you at least give us a description of the capability in development? Is it going to be architecturally like a file explorer with automatic "bookmark" retention? Anything less will be just another failed attempt. In file explorer, the computer is the root of drives, each as a root of a database hierarchy of folders and subfolders, containing lists of subfolders and files, etc. What we are seeking is for the browser to parallel the computer, allowing the construction of the folder and subfolder and file style database hierarchy of URLs and file-shortcuts. Multiple instances of the browser would require access to the common database of URLs.

First sights of tab groups. It currently doesn't do much more than just grouping them together, and one can't set a colour or give it a name. I am happy to see this though!

Please return tab grouping as a native functionality in Firefox!

It's maddening to me that this feature was removed, please put it back!
