*here again. Let's see how long it takes them this time to remove it again.
Me using the Tiled Tab groups add-on for 2 years now... Good-morning
This is mostly useless to me; I already enforce all tabs into unique containers to isolate browsing and website contexts from one another; while still allowing me to make exceptions to the rule and "unbreak" things if that's causing an issue, but still keeping things isolated from the rest of the browsing.
As for Tab Management; I use two windows and a plugin; Tab Stash Plus; which collapses tabs I stash into a bookmark.
Every so often when I reach a critical mass of tabs I personally go through them and play "Keep/Toss" with more odds on Toss. Only useful tabs get stashed and are then searchable from the plugin.
In general; since this feature now presents a possibility of an extremely UNWANTED AI integration I will be setting the config to off and leaving it off...using a relevant config policy tool or plugin to enforce this to off if needed. I hate AI features that I didn't ask for and this one definitely doesn't seem like it's going to be helpful nor compatible with my current workflow.
Finally! Thank you!
Now do vertical tab groups pleeease
edit: turns out the tab group flag was set to false when I switched to vertical tabs. Toggling it to true enabled them
Try using Zen, it's basically Firefox with vertical tab groups.
What do you mean by vertical tab groups? Cause we just got tab groups and a while ago we got vertical tabs. And you can ofc use them together. Isn't that vertical tab groups?
~~I don't think you can~~
OMG You're right
Have any Simple Tab Group users tried out Mozilla’s very overdue revisit to this functionality?
I’m interested in pros and cons before switching over.
This update borked my Sidebery config. It doesn't expand on hover anymore. I will look into it after I wake up but does anyone have an idea what could they changed on CSS?
Edit: Took me some time but it's fixable.
Pretty much every update screws up my config these days, but it's good because it means they're actually working on improving the interface

Been loving the feature.
My next hope is that they'll upgrade tab groups so (when collapsed) I can move them around like normal tabs. Right now it's a little awkward if I start the group in the wrong spot.
Been using it for a couple of months now at work. It's good.
I also appreciate how intuitively it works. I wasn't aware of this feature when it first landed in developer edition, but after I accidentally created a group with drag and drop, the feature just clicked.
