The Core Idea Integrate native, end-to-end encrypted synchronization of Tab Groups across all platforms (Desktop, Mobile, and Tablet) via Firefox Sync. This ensures that clustered contexts of research, study, or daily tasks move seamlessly with the user, regardless of the hardware they are using.

The Problem Users frequently switch between mobile and desktop environments, forcing them to manually reconstruct their browsing contexts. 

The Solution Elevate Tab Groups from a localized, device-specific feature to a core, synchronized component of the Firefox account. By leveraging Firefox Sync's existing cryptography, users can group tabs for specific contexts (e.g., academic research, community organizing, or daily tools) on their desktop and pick up exactly where they left off on their smartphone, without relying on third-party extensions.

Conclusion Organizing information across devices is not a luxury; it is a fundamental necessity for navigating the modern web. By implementing encrypted Tab Group synchronization, Mozilla has the opportunity to demonstrate that seamless, interconnected digital experiences do not require the sacrifice of privacy.

+1000 for this request ! I has a crash with my work laptop last week. I needed to reset it from scratch. After a Windows and Firefox reinstall, I've seen that there was no possibility to recover all tabs groups that was in my Firefox profile before the crash.

I found an extension this morning that can fix this issue until Mozilla implement it...

Brave Browser (my second browser) has a perfect sync that let you recover any saved tabs group from desktop or mobile (after my crash, I recovered all my tabs group in less that a minute !).
