I just use several windows on several virtual desktops. It's much less cluttered.
Those hacks are needed because windows can't handle many things at once.

I want workspaces, ideally in a sidebar like in opera. Arc also does workspaces well but Firefox doesn't have to go that far and have the tabs on the side too.
This might do it for you. Not exactly workspaces, but sessions https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/tab-session-manager/

As.someone who only used a couple of tabs open and even then upon restart of Firefox only has one tab open, this seems like a feature I wouldn't really use?
You are one of the blessed minimalist ones. I feel most users are drowning in tabs.
I have 1408 tabs open.
I use Tab Manager Plus to make sense of it all
Can't wait until we can use a locally running AI to search inside the tab contents and group tabs by content topic, because TMP can only search tab titles!
If it's at the point you need a tab manager, surely you could just use bookmarks.

You might as well close the tabs and use a search engine at that point right? I honestly dont understand the workflow here

I'm glad they decided to bring back this feature. Really missed having it.

This is what has been keeping me on chromium for my study partition. I would love to use Firefox, but I need to group tabs by class. Once Firefox implements this I'll be able to drop google products completely.
I'm using FF tab groups and Sideberry, other than the occasional link getting opened in the wrong group I haven't had issues. I really need to test Chrome and it's profiles to see what the fuss is all about :D
This will be good. When I switch to Firefox in 2019 Chrome had just added tab groups. No extension really replicated hope they felt.
I hope Firefox implements a great and robust tab grouping feature. Because they used to have one that worked beautifully.
Firefox used to have Panorama view, which was a way to group tabs with a nice visual interface. ...and they removed it because not enough people were using it.
...Well if you stopped removing useful and perfectly functional features, maybe you wouldn't need to rebuild them later when it turns out people do want that feature, huh, Mozilla?
There's an extension that reimplements Panorama and it kinda sorta works like it used to.
Oh that's pretty neat Is there a way to make panorama view not hide tabs ?
I use Tile Tabs WE for something similar
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/tile-tabs-we/
Took a while to get the hang of it, creating layouts and such
Your link made my day. Thank you.
