I recently started using simple tab groups and like it. I just wish there was a way to keep my tabs in groups sync'd across devices. So if I open or close a tab in a group on my desktop, when I go to my laptop that group would be updated with the changes. It doesn't seem to work that way currently, at least when I tested it out.

Chrome's only had this for like four years

I have been using the Simple Tab Group extension for quite a while now - imho it has been pretty great. Not sure if this announcement adds anything for me

Fucking finally!

Thank Christ.

Can they also be synced container tabs Mozilla? As in synced across devices. I know there's a container tabs add on you can get, but it doesn't sync from my laptop to my desktop to my phone. Would be awesome if they did so natively.

While you're at it, could you add tree style tabs natively in Firefox? Pretty please, with cream on top.

Maybe you want to try the Tree Style Tabs or Sideberry extension.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I just use power tabs. gives me vertical, grouping, search, sorting, and some rules behaviour you can do but I don't use that last part.

Just bring normal tabs back to mobile, please. Tablet Firefox is the worst.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You can actually try them on Firefox Nightly already.

I might finally be able to switch to FF! Yay!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

It's already a feature available as an addon

The UX sucks. Look at Vivaldi and Arc for good UX.

It is not just one feature that makes the browser better. When you switch, you have to take the good with the bad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

This is absolutely THE feature that has kept me away from FF for a long, long time. I like most other stuff about it, but tab groups are a necessity for me. I exclusively use browsers with Tab Groups and Tab Stacking
