Tab groups have become one of Firefox’s most loved ways to stay organized — over 18 million people have used the feature since it launched earlier this year. Since then, we’ve been listening closely to feedback from the Mozilla Connect community to make this long-awaited feature even more helpful.

What does it mean "over 18 million people have used the feature"? It's enabled by default, easy to trigger by accident, and can only be disabled in about:config.

I don't know how to group tabs because I only do it by accident. But I do know how to ungroup them instead of deleting them. Why did I need to learn this step?

I would be much happier if they rolled back the ai feature. This is my feedback.

Make it an optional plugin or extension.

That way, the people who actually want and use it still have access, and they'd have access to accurate stats on how many of those people there are.

(Probably not enough to justify spending money on it.)

All they had to do was copy or incorporate TreeStyleTabs.

Instead they shoved AI down our throats.

[–] Vincent@feddit.nl 4 points 1 week ago

We got vertical tabs, that's a good first step. I imagine full-on tree-style tabs is more work, though in combination with (non-AI) tab groups it has already replaced my use of Sidebery. A tree of tabs would be nice though.

I hope they fixed the hair-trigger on the drag-ungrouping ... so annoying.

panorama had all of this and it was one of the best features firefox had... and i'm still sad they got rid of it.

bring it back, cowards.

Let's not all be downers here. This actually sound like nice improvements, I might give the groups a try.

18 million sounds a lot but how many people use Firefox, also wasn't aware they got such details about how we use the browser to be honest
