I've been wanting this feature for ages. So nice to see this being added to FF. My next hope is that its not limited to split view and it can tile like I3.

I'm not a Firefox user but I use split tabs often in Vivaldi when I need to manually enter data from one system into another system. Splitting the tabs instead of dragging one into a separate window keeps all the tabs contained in the same tab workspace. I have several workspaces and I don't want to accidentally lose an important tab because I dragged it out into its own window and forgot to drag it back.

This! And, often it means less "chrome", (eg title bars or side panels or whatever) getting in the way.

It's not a use all the time thing, but instead a tool that is just really handy.

Network admin stuff when you need to monitor a bunch of devices, security feeds across cameras (especially when they don't combine into a single PVR system) and more.
