Thousands of users wanted it, so Firefox delivered it. Tab Groups are now live to help you declutter and stay organized while browsing.

    I have a few use cases:

    1. Many youtube videos that are like 30+ minutes long saved for later
    2. Documentation on some stuff that I need to go back and forth
    3. Movies or games that I found, but don’t want to write down and forget
    4. Going down rabbit holes on wikipedia and saving it for another day
    5. Everything else that catches my attention and deserves a honorable spot in the tab bar

    Basically, I use my browser as a notebook. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

      Have you heard of bookmarks? There’s a bookmark toolbar, that could look almost exactly the same if you want. Including folders with sub-folders, etc.

        So you’re saying that pressing 2 on screen buttons, then closing a page is a better solution than creating a group then dragging in and out whatever you need? Sure, I use the bookmarks bar too, but it’s not for stuff I’ll remove after a while, those are perminent, but tab groups are generally for stuff you will eventually close, but wantto sort in the meantime to make it more convenient.

        If you don’t have a use for it, fair enough, I don’t either, but it is a genuinely useful feature for some that can’t be replaced by more clicks.

      So a shit ton of tabs that never get looked at again? I swear all of you secretly want your tabs to disappear so you have something to complain about.

        Not the slightest! I can perfectly fine live without them, but I would be a little bit sad if they were gone. It happened once after my OneTab extension got somehow corrupted.
