Native Tab Grouping / More Customizable Tab bar

[Vinci480]

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.

+1!

Really need that feature in Firefox. Basically the same as in Chrome would be great!

Any updates on the development of this feature?

[kwentar]

+1! Can't wait for this feature to come to Firefox!

I'm currently trying to switch from Chrome (where it's done perfectly, despite all the other flaws that are the reason for switching), and the lack of the tab grouping feature on Firefox is really stopping me.

@Jon  any updates on that feature by any chance?

@JonWill there be an "Auto-Collapse Group"?

e.g.: i'm in a tab, on a group, if i select a tab that is not part of that group i was in it would be awesome the group would auto-collapse like it does on Chromium-based browsers...

Nice! Today is the first time the tabs remain after a restart (at least for me). This makes it really usable for the first time. 

looking forward to be able to rearrange them by dragging. I also wonder how the ‘save and close group’ option will work.

@VeganFox  Are you saying tab groups is already there? I am confused

[PelvisWrestley]

Is there any plan to allow users to set tab container name when tabs are grouped?

1. Select multiple tabs
2. Right-click/control-click selected tabs
3. (menu item) Open in New Tab Container
4. (menu item) > New Group

@eleczilla Tab groups are available in Firefox Developer (v132) and Nightly (v133). Not yet in Stable (v131). You have to enable browser.tabs.groups.enabled in about:config. It's still very experimental and needs a lot of work, but it's getting there. As far as I can tell you can't (re)name or drag & drop groups. Unfortunately still unusable in vertical mode; groups are available, but collapsing a group only hides the tabs but does not size down.

[VeganFox]

@DanakinNot sure if this came with the most recent Nightly update, but renaming is possible by right-clicking on the tab group (with horizontal tabs at least).

[YPAP2205]

@VeganFoxIt is indeed in the recent nightly update. Renaming tab groups also works with vertical tabs.

You need to release this quickly, guys. A lot of us are coming from Chrome😅

[suprunchuk]

Is this really going to happen after all these years????? What do I see? I can't believe my eyes, God.
Thank you very much. I've been waiting for this for a long time.. Please release the release version as soon as possible.

Really great idea. I have tried some different browsers. It would be awesome if Firefox got inspired by how Vivaldi do tabs with sub-tabs. It works so well, especially on Android.

The second this is available I'm done with Chrome. Literally the only thing holding me back. I had tried to swap before but I'm a creature of habit and didn't want to change my w/fs. Glad to see this is coming soon!

It would be nice if they would make an alternative group mode when all tab groups are fixed to the left/right/up and always some group would be active and we would see only tabs of this group. I've used many browsers, but I've only seen this feature in one of them
Simply put, the same thing that drive4ik's “simple tab groups” extension does, but with the ability to easily switch.
Also the need to double click to open a group is annoying, one click is more than enough. Also hitboxes of tab groups should be stretched (Make it the same as with regular tabs). It is unpleasant to accidentally double click between two groups and minimize the browser

There is this feature implementation from another browser

[VeganFox]

@Sh1tEaterfor me it's only a single click to open and close a tab group
