Wow #Firefox and by extension #LibreWolf doesnt even have tab grouping.... tab management is damn near useless for me here... Back to a #chrome fork I guess...

@freemo There are various extensions that can provide something like that.Such as https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tree-style-tab/

@jrdepriest Yea I saw that.. few problems though1) If i am switched to librewolf for security and privacy, then needing to get the features i need through third-party plugins defeats that purpose. I have no idea if those developers are trust worthy and their code isnt always open (nor do i have the time to check if the code matches the compiled).2) The solutions I saw were all a bit hacky due to lack of native support and require you to interact with multiple UI elements in a way that is klunky and not nearly as nice as support that is integrated.3) even with tab grouping doesnt solve the general poor management of tabs.. namely that if you have many open they just scroll off rather than shrink like chrome.. so if you use more tabs than the space allows its virtually unmanageable.

@freemo They are called Collections in Firefox.You could create a Newspapers collection for example.When you remove Firefox this user data will be lost.

@antipode77 Collections are not a native part of firefox or librewolf. You are talking about an addon/extension.See here for my comment about the various extensions that add this:https://qoto.org/@freemo/111127788556731265

@antipode77 Is this what you mean by collections?https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-collections-addonsmozillaorgIf so, unless I misunderstand it, it doesnt appear to have any relationship to tab groups (the ability to collapse similar tabs into one tab in the tab bar itself, rather than some other window or menu)

@freemo Native Tab Management is pretty ugly in Firefox. If that is a big selling point, probably not the best browser for you.I'm pretty sure they had native tab grouping in the old Gecko Firefox before Quantum. Not sure why the feature didn't get ported.

@jrdepriest they seem to get half way there with container tabs... they just wont let them collapse... Really a shame because i like a lot of the other aspects.

@freemo I make heavy use of container tabs and I just spent a few minutes looking for a way to group or collapse or even just sort them automatically.No joy.

@jrdepriest Yea.. only suggestion i saw was "why not multiple windows"... I wouldnt mind trying an extension if one looked like it had a good interface... but all of them look quite annoying.

@freemo No, that was not what was meant.More info via this link.It is native to Firefox Android and does not require installing additional add-ons.https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/get-organized-with-firefox-collections/The Firefox for Android app lets you collect and organize tabs into any quick grouping you want. You can create and name your own Collections and add pages to them as you browse. To add any tab to a Collection, tap the three dots, then tap Save to collection.

@freemo I advise googling for : Tab collections in Firefox for LinuxOne of the suggestions is an add-on, which might do what you want in Linux.https://www.techrepublic.com/article/firefox-finally-tab-management-add-on-worth-using/Good luck at finding a solution.

@antipode77 Yea i looked at those addons.. sadly they dont provide what im asking for (tab groups) but rather a totally different uI mechanism that is far less usable.
