#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?

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!)
