#tabgroups — Public Fediverse posts

Well, that's inelegant. I mostly use the Simple Tab Groups extension in #Firefox and tried the newer built-in Tab Group function, which is totally different. They don't play well together.

Visually, #SimpleTabGroups really works more like the different virtual tab bars #Sleipnir uses. I use ten STGs in Firefox. What I was looking for was tab stacking more akin to #Vivaldi, where stacks stay on their starting workspace/tab-group/tab-bar.

But no. With Firefox #TabGroups, the labels for new groups show up on all the simple tab bars (workspaces/tab-groups). Yet the tabs within the inbuilt groups don't. Inconsistent.

Look at the bar under the "y" block. That means that group is expanded, but since the tabs within it are from my blue tab bar, they don't show up on my red tab bar (identified by the circle before the address bar).

So it seems Tab Groups fail me. If someone was not using grouping in one of the ways already possible, they might be a nice addition. But they don't cooperate with the way I already used. They should have been a flourish, but to me they're a flop.

I would once again like to thank the #Mozilla folks for their fine work on making #Firefox do what they think the user should want, rather than what the user actually wants. This is a challenging technical task, but they have proven to be very adept at it over the years.

Current #gripe: tab groups. My tabs just started opening in tab groups without me doing anything. Took a while to figure out this was actually what was going on; the UI affordances for this are not obvious, and it just seemed to be two unrelated niggles - (1) links opened in new tabs weren't opening at the end of the tab bar, and (2) some weird little thing was showing up in the tab bar, which just looked like a graphical glitch.

I didn't enable tab groups, but I suddenly got them anyway.

I didn't choose for links opened in new tabs to be placed into tab groups, but I got that anyway.

And there's no setting in the UI to control this, at least in my Firefox. Search the settings UI for "group" and there's 0 results. Looking through the settings, I don't see it under another name.

You can turn it off in about:config - it's at `browser.tabs.groups.enabled`.

Firefox keeps getting worse and worse. This "we know better than the user, they should want this change and we won't let them even opt out, much less require them to opt in" is a huge driver of that.

When will #Servo be suitable as a daily driver?

Ich hoffe, ich lehne mich nicht zu weit aus dem Fenster.

Tab Groups werden einen ähnlich großen Einfluss auf meine Arbeit mit dem Browser haben, wie damals die Einführung von Tabs an sich.

#Firefox #TabGroups

🦊✨Firefox just launched Tab Groups; organize, collapse, and color-code your tabs with ease. Check it out in version 137.0! Thanks @mozilla 🙏

#Firefox #TabGroups #WebTips #OpenSource #Browser #TipOfTheDay

I was very excited about the new Tab Groups feature in #Firefox 138, but it wasn't there (#Ubuntu #Linux 24.04 ppa). 😭

But it was enabled when I created a new profile. Changing browser.tabs.groups.enabled to true in about:config also enabled this for my existing profile. So the issue here is that #TabGroups are NOT enabled for existing profiles.

A related problem is the new Profile Management feature. This one is disabled in both new and existing profiles. Changing browser.profiles.enabled to true in about:config enables it. Personally I'm not going to use this, because I use the containers as a way to separate different website identities.

I don't know if this is on purpose for Linux builds or a package issue in the #Mozilla ppa repo.

The #firefox recent features for browser tab groups and vertical tabs are ... pretty nicely done!

#tabgroups #verticaltabs

Hombre! Por fin #Firefox añade los "Tabs groups".

Tenía una extensión que hacía algo parecido pero no era tan cómodo como #Chrome. Ahora podré desinstalarla.

Absolutely #InLove with #Sidebery:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sidebery/
https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery
#Mozilla #Firefox #AddOn that implements #VerticalTabs #TabGroups and an extremely powerful and incredibly simple navigation resources, full of efficiency. For anyone that work with more than 10 #tabs.

Mozilla has been talking a lot about AI, which I personally don't care much for. Luckily, that doesn't appear to be coming at the cost of Firefox development, because there are a couple of features coming up that I'm pretty excited about! The following are all available in Nightly already.

(Update: they're in regular Firefox now!)

@PresGas A shorter, different version: What I really hope is that they put it behind a flag so I can turn it off, because it's getting really annoying on some of the beta & dev versions.
#tech #Google #browsers #Chromium #ChromeOS #tabGroups

Why are Our Googly Masters shoving tab groups down our throats so hard? Dunno if it's worked its way into all Chromium-based browsers or what. It's not so big a deal as "AI," but I think they're actually shoving tab groups harder than AI, no 💩. #tech #Google #browsers #Chromium #ChromeOS #tabGroups

Bin gerade in Laune und probiere einen neuen #Browser aus, den #Brave. Der hat meine geliebten #Tabgroups, aber warum zum Teufel muss, wenn ich über die Adresszeile suche, dort als erstes Resultat ein AI-generiertes Gsatzl kommen, das nicht nur *nicht* das ist, was ich wissen will, sondern auch noch mit 1 Sekunde Verzögerung auf dem Bildschirm aufscheint?

(bitte nicht antworten, das war eine rhetorische Frage)

@itsfoss is reporting that a "tab groups" feature is on its way to #Firefox: https://news.itsfoss.com/mozilla-firefox-tab-grouping/

Right now, #Mozilla have not yet fully committed to implementing the feature: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/native-tab-grouping-more-customizable-tab-bar/idi-p/303

If you like Firefox and want to see #TabGroups as a native feature, please vote for it in the link above. We're at 2,963 votes and every vote counts.

Even though I use #Firefox more and more, I really like the integrated Google #Chrome feature "tab groups".

#tabgroups

Should I switch to #firefox again? I really really would miss the #tabgroups. Currently I am using #ungoogledchromium... But I really hate the potential #chrome monopoly.
Oh btw. I would gladly without hesitation switch back permanently if firefox would support #tabgroups.
@mozilla

anyone got the #Safari #TabGroups up and running (correctly)?
Especially the tab group bookmarks, my browser keeps forgetting them, or they do not appear properly right after adding a site to a specific tab group favorite list.

Maybe the iPadOS 17 Public Beta is the one who messes up this? 'cause there you could add profiles to safari...

I've recently started to get religion about tab groups in Microsoft Edge.

I do find them handy for their ostensible purpose—organizing and grouping related items when I have multiple projects or tasks going and multiple tabs associated with each.

However, lately I find myself creating tab groups for even a single tab, because I like being able to collapse it down to a single-word-wide group heading in my tab bar to save space.

#browser #organization #TabGroups #MicrosoftEdge

I sometimes wish apps other than #Safari, such as #Pages, supported #TabGroups so I that could easily switch to a bunch of documents I’m using for a particular project without having to open each of them individually. But then isn’t that what #StageManager is for?

Unfortunately, SM fails to do that because SM window layouts (unlike Safari tab groups) do not persist between logins. I hope #Apple will fix this and make SM genuinely useful in the next version of #macOS, but I’m not holding my breath. #UX #UXFail
